From the Paper:

"Organizations are increasingly dependent upon IT systems and infrastructure. Eventually, these organizations are subjected to many risks, so their business is inherently risky. "Even brief business interruptions can mean reduced revenues, lost customers or reduced market share," says Davies and Walters (Davies and Walters, 1998, p.5). This is true of all businesses, not just banks or hospitals, and since more businesses are doing their business on the Web, there is the potential for much larger amounts of lost revenue if people cannot access the site or find the information that they need, or if those same people have difficulty processing an order. The same is true of companies that do not do business on the Web, but Web business makes things much faster and more convenient for many people. It also creates more of a chance for error, which is why redundancy and data warehousing are so important."
