A frase é a seguinte: "When the full spectrum of hard-dollar and soft-dollar expenses are factored into the equation, the magnitude of downtime costs can be staggering, particularly for financial services companies, medical service providers, and retailers that are heavily dependent on on-line transactions.". Uma definição possível pode ser: "By “hard dollar” we mean costs/savings that can be calculated easily and immediately accountable on a company’s bottom-line, soft dollar refers to costs/savings more difficult to calculate or estimate."
