If it doesn't, you need a tech wizard at a helpdesk to make sure downtime is minimal. If you've got someone that needs to check with someone else, then figure out what's going on, then create a workaround, and maybe there's a software upgrade that has to occur, or the system is getting hacked by idiots that don't have anything better to do....you're (since my "Lewis Blackian" urge to scream an obscenity is kicking in here, I'll move on).

My wife has just spent an hour responding via email to extremely important issues that would require days to get everyone around a table for a face-to-face meeting to discuss...and no one's received the emails. They're not in her sent file, they're not in her outbox, but they are in her drafts file - but only the original emails that she's responded to...her responses are nowhere to be found on the document.

Anyone want to tackle this one, because her helpdesk can't help...making it just another "desk" at this point.
