        Can you imagine how many documents need to be properly accessed and backed up for legal reasons. I have used it for damn near anything. School registration, rental, home buying, legal reasons. There have to be so many redundancies for me and I’m a nobody. Now imagine all that for a modest company? And how many exist. I can see a decent amount of employees to facilitate that.

            That is not what I was talking about. There are still people that need to monitor the code and the storage spaces. Servers don’t just magically have space. Especially if they are doing anything on the cloud. Making them accessable is a database feature that has to be daunting.

          I mean, 1, if they’re at all competent in their job. 2, if they’re not. Probably a lawyer too, so 3.
