Essendant Facing Multi-Day Systems “Outage”

Serving about 30,000 reseller customers, Essendant maintains inventories of more than 160,000 different products, including conventional office supplies, cleaning and break room supplies, office furniture, and technology. The systems outage will significantly impact the supply chain. Essendant has not yet disclosed the reason for this outage. It is unclear if it was a technical problem or the result of a cyber attack. Lately, we have seen different multi-day “outages,” including the incidents that happened in DISH and Royal Mail caused by cyber criminals.
