IT, under different organizational unit or not


There have always been varying opinions whether or not IT is to be placed under organization's departments or business units. If IT is not on its own, some find it logical to put under
- finance, because IT is more helpful in their activities;
- risk management, especially financial institutions, because it is their business not to lose money and IT must be built without question reinforcing security of systems and financial data processing;
- executive, because IT is seen to have capabilities to lift the entire organization's businesses into a better and smarter workplace and experience, determine priorities how resources must be allocated and balance the effect of IT for all stakeholders;
- technology, because IT is their business which is led most of the time by a business manager;
- advertising, makes IT the best graphic artist and webmaster.

Other departments not included, and whatever their reasons for placing IT under their roof.

When an effort seems to be successful we would think that we had decided correctly. However, if our research, measurements and expected outcome would say so otherwise then it's probably just a good luck which is not sustainable when you are running IT operations or purposely is expecting IT to facilitate support necessary for business efficiency including but not limited to achievement of its goal.

As an IT practitioner we necessarily don't need to object where we must be reporting to. Whether to the finance or compliance department this has really no bearing to our output. We still can deliver on expectations and the outcome must be benefitting clients or organizations.

The key in our work is that IT and business must be going along well. From start senior management, most especially, already know how business systems and IT will be like when acquisition and implementation are finished. And stakeholders somehow understood each other’s importance in the job including what to expect in any task, project or goals.

The IT people can execute their part effectively and efficiently based on the need of the business with IT. That’s what we can a decision-making with IT. However, if they are alone, and without the necessary information and plans to implement business systems and IT, the maximum potential to facilitate required performance may be dubious. Without the other there will not be much to expect but problems.

Problems, if not based on investment, may be seen in any or combination of the following
- Decision making within organization’s one sided;
- Timeline not realistic, the reason why business systems and IT not being executed properly;
- Organizational resistance or just unnecessary and gratuitous politicking;
- Business and IT people have problems i.e. responsibilities, not enough enterprising in either side, leader full of unsound criticisms, et al.
- Policies and procedures are for IT alone, nonsynchronous to the realities of business and regulation.
- Nobody is a leader, the worst in an organization when even basic IT is not tried to be tackled.
- Experience with IT staff and service providers were very rough, now organization will only see IT as expenses.

Online information provided for stakeholders' consumption

It must relay the true meaning and real application necessary in the physical world. We have probably all experience how to learn first thing about our plans before we go ahead and act. Like for instance, when we order something online, attend to some responsibilities for our organizations, communicate with people via video, chat and email including but not limited to asking stakeholders, very politely and sincerely, if there's anything else we can do to help further. This online environment must make us work to facilitate and relay exactly what we expect and do in the physical world. What the online information is telling us should be enough to readily make a decision and act accordingly. This is especially true when people have to do it themselves, read relevant information and will go there, say store, or anywhere else, to perform the chores required.  We cannot provide information online, when customers expect them to be a guideline or instruction to do something, that we know

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all

HTTP Strict Transport Security strict browser processing or bug prevention or what?

Having a different internet browser makes handy for people whose job is to make sure any web service or application, and their behavior, would not fail before and after making any changes, or upgrade. In our definition, it is that it would not fail regardless of methods, not the geeky ones and without harm of course, applied to access, in a regular way, a resource designed and made available to the public. We think that premise, which is to "make sure it will work, somehow a little better", characteristic of our work @𝖎𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖊𝖉, is true to any technology designed for use mainstream but which this post is toned or using such example, specifically. Do you know what causes a browser to process a web service or application like this in the image? We would see it is due to an HSTS, primarily, not being processed or some bug prevented to load by, in here we have, Microsoft Edge Dev browser where a notice is produced. Then it could be that, with other browsers, this is not at
