みなさまの会社事務所環境では、どんどん進化していくIT関係装置、
どのように管理されているでしょうか?
わが社では1.5坪ほどの平面に外部との通信接続装置と社内ネットワーク装置が
連結して同居しております。
そこからさらにハブやルーターが各室に装置されてネットワークを形成。
この中枢区画では一目瞭然にネットワーク環境がコントロール可能、
な、はずだった・・・。
ところがここに問題があったのですね。
この平面空間は実はもともと広大な「神棚」エリアだった箇所。
真ん中に神棚が鎮座して、その両側に全国を取材で歩きまわる際に
収集してきた「商売繁盛」の願掛けのシルシ、各地神社の神札が配置されていた。
ここにIT関係の装置を集中させるのは、情報企業としては
ある意味、象徴的でもあり受発信する情報が神さまのご加護を得られる(笑)
そんな潜在意識がどこかにあったように、いまは反省しています。・・・
まぁ大企業の中央管制のような大きな情報制御装置ではなく
進化してきたコンパクトな管制装置なので、
中小零細企業としてこれまで「積み上げ」対応でなんとかやってきていた。
そういうことまでコントロールするべきという意識がなかったともいえる。
ところが、感染症でのリモートワークの進展などで
最近の企業情報管制の高度化必須スピードはかなりのレベル。
上記のような牧歌的・神がかり的管制意識では齟齬が生ずる可能性がある。
各機器の動作確認や接続状況の一元的把握において
いろいろとトラブルが生じることも避けられなくなってきている。
そういった状況の中で、ありがたい神さま群がIT環境整備作業に対して
その場所性で困難を生じさせているのではないか。
自分で状況設定をしながら、恥ずかしながらこういうことに
つい失念していたことに気付かされてしまった次第。
「ありがたいが故にお願いしている業者さんも申し出にくかったか・・・」
複雑な配線接続環境構築に制約をもたらしてしまっていた可能性に対し
ようやくにして気付かされたということなのであります。
まことに経営者として恥ずべき事態だったと深く反省。
各制御機器のすべてにその内容を完全に把握することはできないけれど、
その置かれる環境については、まずコントロール・作業しやすいように
管理者としては十分な配慮をすべきでしょう。
ということで写真の神棚についてはわたしのデスク近くに移転願った。
上階も事務スペースなので上に「雲」という紙も張った。
全国の神々なのでこれまでの御恩に感謝しつつ、
謹んでご動座願って、その環境について遺漏無きを心がけ
整理整頓させていただいたことで、安寧の心も多少は得られた次第。
沖縄で購入してきたシーサーの狛犬さんは
今回の動座でその役目をはじめて担ってもらっている。
「なんでオマエはいままで気付かなかったんだ、あん?」と
柔和な表情で語りかけてくれている。十分反省して情報管理体制を
よりしっかりと構築して行きたいと願を掛けております。
家内安全、商売繁盛・・・。

Sorting between the Shinto altar and the central IT equipment environment
There is a possibility that the altar where the gods of the nation gather may have been a constraint on the maintenance of the IT control equipment group that lives in the same house. We deeply regretted this and respectfully requested that it be moved. For the safety of the family and prosperity of business. I am very happy and grateful for your kindness.
How do you manage the ever-evolving IT-related equipment in your company’s office environment?
How are they managed?
In our company, the external communication connection device and the internal network device are connected and cohabit
and internal network devices are all connected and living together on a single floor.
From there, hubs and routers are installed in each room to form a network.
In this central area, the network environment can be controlled at a glance.
It was supposed to be….
However, there was a problem here.
This flat space was originally a vast “Shinto altar” area.
In the center of the space is a Shinto altar, and on either side of the altar are the “business” wishes that I had collected during my travels around Japan for interviews.
On both sides of it, there were prayer cards for “prosperous business” that I had collected during my travels around the country, as well as sacred fuda from various Shinto shrines.
The concentration of IT-related equipment here is, in a sense, symbolic for an information company.
In a sense, it is symbolic of the fact that the information we receive and transmit will be blessed by the gods (laughs).
I now reflect on the fact that I had such a subconscious somewhere in my mind. I am now reflecting on it.
Well, it is not a big information control device like the central control system of a large corporation.
but a compact control device that has evolved.
As a small, medium, and micro company, we have been managing to “accumulate” the information.
It could be said that we had no awareness of the need to control such things.
However, with the development of remote work in the field of infectious diseases
Recently, however, the level of sophistication and essential speed of corporate information control is quite high.
The above idyllic and godlike control mindset may cause discrepancies.
In the operation check of each device and centralized grasp of the connection status
It is becoming inevitable that various troubles may occur in the operation check of each device and in the centralized grasp of the connection status.
In such a situation, the gods are thankful to us for our IT environment maintenance work.
In such a situation, the thankful gods may be causing difficulties in IT environment maintenance work due to its locality.
I am ashamed to admit that I had forgotten about these things while setting up the situation myself.
I am ashamed to say that I was oblivious to these things while I was setting up the situation.
I am grateful for your help, but I wonder if it was too difficult for the vendor to make an offer…”
I finally realized the possibility that I had brought restrictions to the construction of a complex wiring and connection environment.
I am ashamed to say this as a business manager.
As a business manager, I deeply regret this shameful situation.
Although it is impossible to fully understand the contents of all control devices, it is important to understand the environment in which they are placed.
However, as a manager, I should give sufficient consideration to the environment in which the equipment is placed so that it is easy to control and work in.
As a manager, I should give sufficient consideration to the environment in which they are placed so that they are easy to control and work in.
Therefore, I requested that the kamidana in the photo be moved to a place near my desk.
The upper floor is also an office space, so I put a piece of paper called “Kumo” on the top.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the gods of Japan for their kindness to me.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the gods of Japan for their past kindnesses, and I would like to make sure that there are no omissions in the environment.
I am grateful to all the deities throughout Japan for their kindness to us, and I hope that we have been able to gain some sense of peace and tranquility through the tidying up of the place.
The Shisa guardian dogs that we purchased in Okinawa
The Shisa guardian dogs that we purchased in Okinawa are playing their role for the first time at this Douza.
Why didn’t you notice it before, huh? and “Why didn’t you notice it before, huh?
He is talking to us with a soft expression on his face. I hope that we will reflect on this and build a stronger information management system.
I hope to build a stronger information management system.
I wish for the safety of my family and prosperity of my business.
