Independent Professionals and Agents value their business data as much as any other organization. Yet, often being smaller operations, they do not have the time, resources nor energy to devote to something as mundane as backing up data.
Like many business, time is money and doing a tape / disk / CD backup can adds up to days of wasted time. But this is nothing compared to the wasted time incurred if data is ever lost. This can be individual proposals, project reports or entire contact databases.
Compliance is a key issue for many working in the financial services market and backing up electronically produced proposal data is a legal requirement to remain compliant.
Many independents work in a home-office environment where computers are less secure than in a traditional office environment - perhaps increasing the risk further that data will be lost.
