CYA Recycle Bin is a hosted self-restore solution for enterprise CMS users. Its intention is to guard against information loss at the user, administrative and system levels sans system or application downtime.

Do enterprise architects really need to be reminded that they should “do their homework” before choosing an enterprise productivity, collaboration and content management application?
