If you’re running a small business or overseeing operations, you don’t have time for recurring IT issues. And yet – every week – it’s something. Systems freeze. Emails stall. Staff complaints pile up. And no one has a straight answer. So, it’s time to Save Your Business from Costly Downtime.

Whether you’re the one signing the checks or managing the chaos, IT downtime is costing more than it seems – and it’s almost always avoidable.

Real Cost. Causing Real Stress. With Real Local Business Impact.

Let’s look at what downtime really costs Wilmington businesses.

A marketing firm near downtown lost access to its shared drive during a campaign deadline. Their previous IT provider didn’t answer the phone until the next day. The internal team was stuck for six hours, 15 people unable to work. The result: $7,800 in lost labor and a missed client opportunity.

Another local construction company had its estimate software go down on a Friday. Planning halted over the weekend. By Monday, they missed two major bids. They weren’t working with ACS at the time. When they eventually reached out, we resolved the issue in 15 minutes – but not before the delay cost them over $12,000.
