GWW » Topics » Interruptions in the proper functioning of information systems could disrupt operations and cause unanticipated increases in costs or decreases in revenues, or both.These excerpts taken from the GWW 10-K filed Feb 27, 2009. Interruptions
in the proper functioning of information systems could disrupt operations and
cause unanticipated increases in costs and/or decreases in revenues. The
proper functioning of Grainger’s information systems is critical to the
successful operation of its business. Although Grainger’s information systems
are protected with robust backup systems, including physical and software
safeguards and remote processing capabilities, information systems are still
vulnerable to natural disasters, power losses, unauthorized access,
telecommunication failures and other problems. If critical information systems
fail or are otherwise unavailable, Grainger’s ability to process orders,
maintain proper levels of inventories, collect accounts receivable, pay expenses
and maintain the security of Company and customer data could be adversely
affected.
