What are you using for Documentation?
-
I'd say start with what services you already have; do you have Office365?
If so start with that, and then look at other options before adding more components to your system.

Last place was Asciidoctor and GitLab but testing Asciidoctor and Hugo. New place is currently Asciidoctor to PDF but will be testing Hugo and other options.

I use Teams, OneNote and Sharepoint. Documentation in OneNote, then mange them via Teams, which creates the relevant Sharepoint sites in the background.
I like Teams, it takes a lot of the burden out of managing Sharepoint.
What kind and quantity of documentation are you looking at?
-
I use Google Docs, and the ticketing system ; Im the only one who does write ups on things I think we need to know more about, or are things that will be needed in the future.
I/We don't use any fancy third party software for documentation.

I use OneNote at work and MediaWiki at home. However I like Bookstack for some things, Boostnote for my C++ documentation, and Wiki.js is good all round and not so specific.

I have to guess an absolute shit ton. I haven't seen the magnitude yet

We have infrastructure (Me), DevOps, Desktop Support. I think one person from each team should be responsible for technical documentation. I'd prefer for it to be me but I also have a lot on my plate.

I think one important consideration is moving from one solution to another and how difficult/cumbersome that can be. How annoying would Sharepoint be in this regard? say I move from Sharepoint to Bookstack

I don't know how Bookstack handles things now, but much of what is stored on Sharepoint is either table based (exportable via Excel), or just HTML. Most. I don't have a SP instance to fiddle with any more, so I can't say definitively.

SP depends. If you use their straight wiki functions, not bad. If you use OneNote, terrible.

I'm trying to stay away from big software packages that do everything in one. I don't want to have to keep something just because we use it for other things. I like separating everything so I can remove what I don't like and keep what I do. I don't know a lot about Sharepoint yet but that is why I am wary.

How do you separate infrastructure and DevOps? DevOps is for managing infrastructure.

Infrastructure team is really networking team
Infrastructure teams normally refers to the non-networking ones. Although networking is obviously infrastructure. But SA is normally core infrastructure teams. Enterprise jobs labeled infrastructure are not networking.

Yeah that's just what they are calling us. Not very helpful for me to use the name here though as it's confusing for you guys

You are doing networking now? So mostly switches, routers, routing tables, firewall rules?
