Black Friday launches the most intense technology period of the year — a Q4 surge that pushes IT teams to their limits. While sales increase, so do traffic spikes, cyber threats, support tickets, and performance pressure.
Our guide explains why many companies struggle with staffing gaps, cloud bottlenecks, and burnout during Q4. It highlights the most critical challenges:
- 40–200% spike in ticket loads
