My wife works at a University where they had someone on a team go to the club everyday during the day for an ~unknown~ amount of months until she got caught not being at a meeting and instead of immediately firing her they updated the time tracking policy and nobody actually talked to her. HTH.

People have pretty cushy jobs and they don't want to risk losing them for any reason, so they make tasks seem much more difficult/long than they actually are and share only the bare minimum of information.

When I worked at a University we had IT for the campus, IT for residence halls, and IT for every department. The Library had their own IT. It actually worked really well because that meant people could specialize in supporting their areas, and every area got the attention they needed. With just one huge IT department problems would have been left to languish in certain areas because they weren't a top priority or IT wasn't familiar enough with the issues to address them.

My experience with college IT has been completely understaffed with college students augmented and used as a work-study.

When one department manages to successfully toss a $50,000 turd into another Director's pool, destroying their plans for the year, it tends to sour the relationship. Institutional memory can go back decades and a move like that can fester for the duration of a career.

Know exactly what you mean, I barely even care about saving for retirement because I don't think I'll live that long or that money will be any good by then, but that's probably beyond the scope of the IT thread.

When you can lose it all in a stock market crash, a health issue, a housing market crash, etc., it removes the incentive to save. Can't squeeze blood from a stone, might as well spend it now and enjoy it, etc. etc. Join the DSA today!

In my case, everything is siloed, different departments hate talking to each other or sharing information, and budget is basically zero. Basically this, only minus the monetary constraint. It wasn't all the money in the world, but getting approved budget for necessary new things was generally alright as long as you could show why you needed it.

Does anyone have recommendation on where to start learning (about) Azure Logic Apps? We're going to be implementing a solution using Logic Apps to communicate with SAP, and I'm going to need to know this poo poo inside and out as soon as the consultants walk out the door, if history proves correct.

Azure logic apps are basically Microsoft flows only running as a service in azure. The designer is the same, but I think there are more connector options in azure. I'm currently using it to provide some additional work flow logic in SPO.

You're probably into the territory for some sort of ECM system at that point, searching file systems really stops being sustainable when you scale to a certain point.

Has anyone dumped tapes entirely and gone to cloud storage for archiving? It sounds simple in theory but I'm looking for real world experiences.

At my last job we did it with rclone, but our data set was under a terabyte and differential is under 100 megabytes/day. Daily sync to an S3 bucket, worked well enough.

Also, the outage wasn't as long as it would take to get tapes back from Iron Mountain or another geographically distant off site location.

We had the initial seed done by filling up appliances and shipping them to the provider and since then its been disk to cloud for the backups.
