reality.
D All of the above consequences are correct.

claims registration system are
unavailable. After an hour the power disruption is solved and the situation as it was before
the power failure is restored.
How has this incident impacted on the service delivery?

A This had limited impact on the service delivery, because clients were asked to ring
back in an hour and they showed understanding for the situation.
B This had a major impact on the service delivery, because the normal level of service
provision could not be realised. This caused damage to the company's image.
C This has not impacted the service delivery, because everything was recorded on paper
and could later be recorded into the system.
