Trust, But Verify


 No matter how clear your instructions are, there’s no substitute for being physically onsite when IT work is being performed. In this case, even after repeatedly confirming with the vendor that the switch they were to connect to was PoE+ capable, they still went ahead and installed multiple PoE injectors—consuming valuable rack space and unnecessary AC outlets.. This kind of oversight highlights a simple truth: communication alone isn’t enough when it comes to critical infrastructure. Seeing the work firsthand ensures what’s being implemented aligns exactly with what was planned.

Being onsite gives you the opportunity to catch issues in real time before they become embedded problems. A quick glance at the rack would have immediately revealed that injectors were being installed, allowing for an instant correction instead of discovering it later.
