Outages, unplanned and otherwise can detrimental impacts on customers and their relationships within their organizations. Although they do not occur often; there needs to be an automated system outage notification that can be emailed out to each client's supported users.
Clients should also have the option to opt-in or opt-out of receiving these notifications; but by default all outages that would prevent users from being able to access or utilize a products like SiteCatalyst, Discover, SearchCenter or Test & Target; would trigger a notification.
