The high cost of silence

Modern enterprises don’t just work in Microsoft 365 — they exist in it. When it fails, revenue stops, compliance fractures, and reputational damage compounds by the minute.

Outage fatigue is real

2025 saw a marked increase in multi-region M365 service degradations. The January 2026 outage alone lasted over 9 hours, affecting Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and security tools simultaneously.

The financial impact is staggering

98% of organisations report that a single hour of downtime costs over $100,000. For a 5,000-user company, a 4-hour outage can cost $3 million in lost productivity alone.

Regulations demand more than backup

DORA mandates restoration of critical functions within 2 hours. NIS2 holds executives personally liable for resilience failures. Traditional backups with 24-48 hour recovery times are now a legal liability.

Sync

Your M365 environment is continuously mirrored to Google Workspace — mail, calendar, contacts and documents*. Choose from weekly, daily, or hourly sync frequency to match your risk profile. *coming soon

2

Failover

When M365 goes down, there’s no panic. Your users simply switch to Google Workspace where their data is already waiting. No scripts, no manual restores — just instant productivity.

3

Recover

When Microsoft is back, our Reverse Recovery Mechanism automatically identifies every email sent and document created during the outage and merges it back to M365. Zero manual reconciliation.

Hot standby, not cold storage

Your Google Workspace environment is live and ready at all times — a warm seat waiting for every user. Switch in seconds, not hours.

Minutes to recover, not days

Reduce recovery time from the industry-standard 24-48 hours to minutes. Purpose-built for the 2-hour restoration window mandated by DORA.

Compliance built in

Real-time audit logging, failover drill support, and hourly sync designed to meet DORA, NIS2, and sector-specific regulatory requirements out of the box.
