<p class="MsoNormal">Sending notifications is the easy part, lots of services for that. It's the maintenance of who the right contacts is which I find challenging. Since we see support tickets arrive from unexpected/new contacts, we know there must be people
who need to know, but we don't know who they are. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Weve recently starting testing a statuspage internally <a href="http://staytus.co/" target="_blank">
http://staytus.co/</a> and like it enough we will probably go live with it customer facing. this allows us to have pre-formatted emails for different event classifications, and the users opt in/out on their own. Its fairly extensible being written in ruby,
and has an API to take machine-generated events. <o:p></o:p></p>

list to start with, but as employees change it wouldn't get updated necessarily.
