Bad things can happen but that's why you build disaster recovery into the infrastructure. Especially with a compqny as big as Toyota, you can't have a single point of failure like this. They produce over 13,000 cars per day. This failure cost them close to 300,000,000 dollars just in cars.
In my experience, the C-Suite dicks will put the hammer down on someone and maybe fire a couple of folks. They'll demand a summary of what happened and what will be done to stop it from happening again. IT will provide legit options to resolve this long term, but because that comes with a price tag they'll be told to fix it with "process changes" and the cycle continues.
If they give IT money that's less for themselves at EOY for bonuses so it's a big concern /s
Yea, fair point regarding the single point of failure. I guess it was one of those scenarios that should just never happen.
I am sure it won't happen again though.
As I said it can just happen even though you have redundant systems and everything. Sometimes you don't think about that one unlikely scenario and boom.
