Who manages your industrial/SCADA network?

It seems like in many organizations, the industrial/plant/SCADA networks aren't managed by the IT department, they are managed by the "operations" group.

In my organization we've had pretty good luck having the IT department manage most of that, and so it's smaller L2 domains and Ethernet over serial wherever possible, but it was a big battle
