Some IT people work in an environment of fear. They’re afraid to do routine system maintenance that might take the system down for awhile.

The crazy thing is, scheduled maintenance downtime will be less impactful than unscheduled emergency downtime.

The solutions are to have upper management fully supportive of system maintenance, and a smoothly functioning change management process that includes mechanisms for incorporating patches and updates into the workflow.

If you WORK FOR a company with a culture of fear surrounding routine system maintenance downtime, do yourself a favor and look for a new job.

If you OWN OR MANAGE a company with a culture of fear surrounding routine system maintenance downtime, do yourself a favor and call me. I can turn it around.
