Operations

This covers how we run our business and deliver service to our customers.

Services used at FlowFuse

At FlowFuse there's a couple of services that are vital to the operation of the business. As a matter of having a plan before these services are taken offline or go bankrupt a table is maintained with where to go in case of service disruption.

Email

While there are a number of email aliases and google groups used throughout the organization, there is some activities across operations, people operations, and finance management that requires that activities be done with external parties. As a redundancy, rather than use a person's individual email (e.g. zj@), we use a google group to avoid the risk of information getting lost. For example, for some government filings, we use ops@.
