ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
The business benefits of network automation are sometimes lost in discussion around network automation technology. We nerds do love to talk nuts and bolts because hey…this stuff is cool.
Our guest today is Tim Fiola, and Tim believes that the technology aspect of network automation is–more or less–a solved problem. The bigger issue now is to engage the business at a cultural level so that network automation is properly embraced up and down the management stack.
Tim joins us to discuss these ideas in more detail.
We discuss:
* Why the technology pieces are in place, but the 0rganizational culture may not be
* Why a business culture is necessary to sustain automation efforts
* What the business needs to understand about automation
* How technical teams can communicate with the business
* Automation benefits for network engineers
