Many partners I’ve spoken with are experimenting with ChatGPT to automate script generation, write proposals etc—you name it, it’s being tried. But even in a budget-conscious economy, it’s still not worth sacrificing the human element. This is especially true if that move results in script errors, unreliable information, introducing cybersecurity risks, or compromising your company’s intellectual property. You still need a human involved in the coding process today.

Disaster recovery (DR) plans are not one-size-fits-all. There’s no silver bullet, and without a clear understanding and some level of customization, a DR plan done wrong will have detrimental effects on an organization’s operations and business.
