One person opened the discussion by sharing his thoughts on his inability to use the website by saying, “There was a reliance on building a single website before to try and get access, and under our new technology and refining our support again. Trying to get access is, and they’ve been working with us over the last few weeks to get it because this was raised as a concern,” he said.
A panel member replies “So just to clarify, you don’t have access to your website to update your website?”
Another man arrives to explain the tragedy. “Previous employees would set up additional websites in the previous administration with only access to some of these websites and when they left they didn’t give us information on how to access those things.”
The panelist, seemingly surprised by his answer, says “But that was two years ago, this doesn’t make sense to me at all.” You don’t have access to the dashboard, but you have the numbers on the dashboard. How did those numbers get there if you don’t have access?”
