Indeed, loss of trade is the most significant cost of network failure.  A recent article on 4Networking.biz, however, added that management time, staff morale, and customer relationships also suffer.  With management working around the clock, putting all efforts towards IT recovery, they must turn away from their daily responsibilities and tasks.  In turn, when the staff is not able to complete their deliverables, and with no one to answer to, company culture and morale take a hit.
