The problem is, it's not necessarily the job of the person who is tasked with doing it. These are the kind of things that fall between the gaps in smaller companies and there's no expert to build this disaster recovery plan becaus

It’s all relative. Having lived and driven in India for many years, the driving in Sri Lanka is very organized and civil. But I get what you’re saying.

We routinely sell mostly to large enterprises. Yes, its not proportionally more difficult than selling to SMEs. However the problem with enterprise accounts are: 1. They hijack your roadmap. You go into danger of building one-off features a

For all this to work you need to control the domain. Is that easier than simply breaking into their systems and owning their servers?
