Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate the ROI of IT Disaster Recovery (DR)?

The ROI of IT Disaster Recovery is calculated by measuring the reduction in Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), the decrease in manual labor hours required for planning and testing, and the "cost avoidance" of system downtime. Cutover’s calculator specifically weighs labor savings (planning/execution) against the typical costs of manual runbook management.

What is the average payback period for an automated runbooks solution?

Based on the Forrester TEI study of Cutover, most enterprise organizations achieve a "break-even" point and see a full payback on their investment in under 6 months.

Can an ROI calculator help with regulatory compliance (DORA/SEC)?

Yes. While ROI often focuses on dollars, it also quantifies “Audit Efficiency.” For highly regulated industries (like FSIs), our ROI calculator demonstrates how much time is saved by generating automated audit trails, often reducing the burden by 60% which directly impacts regulatory compliance.

Why is manual runbook management considered a hidden cost?

Manual runbooks in Excel or static documents lead to "version drift," where plans become outdated the moment they are saved. This results in "shadow costs" like extended bridge calls, increased human error during execution, and hundreds of hours spent manually updating stakeholders - costs that Cutover eliminates.
