Jared, I think this falls under the "Trust, but verify" category. At the end of the day, the business unit that engaged the services is responsible for the account(s) and service(s), however, it would behoove the datacenter operations team to periodically proactively check with the business unit in question to make sure that it is still active on their end, and that it didn't just drop off their radar. Possibly to the point of having the account automatically expire, and require a proactive "hey, please keep the account active for another quarter/6-months/etc." on a regular basis.

Thanks for your responses. I apologize if my question wasn't clear enough. My question was geared towards who would be responsible for periodically re-validate the continued need for the account, if it has not been deactivated by our automated process for accounts flagged for expiration or termination. I agree that this responsibility falls on the system owner and wanted to check in with this group to make sure I'm not missing anything else.
