I came from an Industrial Backgound and startet as an Electrical Automation Engineer and switched latter first to Industrial IT and now to Corp. IT.
Somthing that i noticed throughout different Companys regardless of there Size the Networkdokumentation was always poor. Some use tools like FNT Command, Pathfinder or imVision, most of them use excel or Visio or my favorit they use there Brain to remember all of the topologie.
Never did i came across a Organisation that said we follow the Standard X.Y.Z.
In the Industrial Sector, there is something Called P&ID Diagrams its a Standadized pictogramic Language to Dokument and discuse a Asset, Maschine, whatever. Every Department from, Mechanical, over Electrical to Prozess Controles and Chemists know this language and use this diagrams to Comunicate in one Language.
It seams like everything in Corp. IT now is Regulated and Standardized excapt this.
Now all of a sudden you start deploying Zero-Trust-SDN-SDWAN-BuZZwOrD-Stuff and ask your Personal (Developers, scientists, Fasility-Manager, and what have you) to layout what connections their services need and they look at you as if your a Alien.
Sounds Familiare to somebody? Or do i life under some giant Rock.
How do you handel this?
