She always remembers to perform certain activities, but she will not easily think out of the box and do something else. I hate repeating activities, but I like to fix stuff or help here and there. She does not like new activities. This way we both can do the things we like and make the best of our qualities.
Oracle is doing this for their cloud software I think. Benefit is that they can migrate your environment when you are ready. This way they can ensure someones environment always keeps working. Downside is that there is a lot of admin and a lot of things that can go bad.
