Individuals and teams that are ready to take the next step from networking and infrastructure task automation, are looking to evolve to the next phase of their network automation maturity – process orchestration. This takes automation a step further to encompass the full end-to-process surrounding networking tasks such as responding to or closing an IT ticket, performing configuration validation, and communicating with sources of truth.
However, when assessing the best route to evolve teams quickly to this next stage, they realize that the tools which enabled their success in automating tasks lack the capabilities required to orchestrate end-to-end processes at scale.
In part three of the webinar series, Network Automation & Orchestration Maturity Model: How to Assess & Evolve, Morgan Stern, VP of Automation Strategy and Rich Martin, Director of Technical Marketing at Itential, walkthrough:
• Why teams should consider process orchestration and the benefits it can bring.
• The challenges and opportunities involved in the transition.
• The challenges involved with moving to process orchestration from a task-based approach.
• Lessons learned by teams who have successfully transitioned to process orchestration.
• How Itential helps you evolve your automations to touch every part of the process with its patented integration capabilities.
• The perspective of an engineer and what’s needed to evolve your automation efforts to encompass end-to-end processes.
• The perspective of IT leaders and what’s needed to set your team up for process orchestration success.
