As The San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this week, “the idea of cloud computing has become so popular that executives and employees who don’t even work in the IT department are starting to ask for it by name.”
Put another way, the proverbial Pointy-Haired Boss is going to start insisting on cloud computing soon, even if only to tell the shareholders that you’re pursuing the buzzword-compliant tech du jour.
The same is true of corporate lifestreaming. A growing number of CEOs Twitter (including Dogbert), which means its only a matter of time before the IT department is asked to perform the social media equivalent of a PEBKAC cleanup. In fact, the Dilbert Principle pretty much guarantees that management + lifestreaming = timebomb.
When you start adopting new tech, it’s important to prepare for new error states. When it comes to corporate lifestreaming, that includes the CEO totally hosing your corporate Facebook Page by embedding a malformed widget, or blowing out your blog CSS with a miscoded image div. And most lifestreaming services aren’t exactly known for their robust revision history that affords easy rollbacks.
Think of Backupify as just one more way you can C-Level-proof your Facebook page.
