“The modern technological enterprise is trying, though not always of its own free will, to “digitalize”, but process management through dozens of handshakes and approvals has not gone anywhere, and file transfer via usb-carriers or data recording in notebooks in a box is almost the established norm in conditions of isolation of network segments.
