The Network Engineer’s Evolution:
Thinking Like a Product Owner

Welcome Packet Pushers Listeners! 👋

We’ve been lucky enough to join a few Packet Pushers podcasts recently alongside our customers as they share their real-world automation journeys — evolving from individual pockets of automation to platforms that enable standardized and orchestrated, team-wide automation.

Check out our recent customer episodes.

“The game-changer for us with Itential is how it abstracts the complexity of automation. In the past, scripting and automation were intimidating because they required you to be a programmer first and a network engineer second. But with Itential, you don’t need to be a developer to create impactful automations. You can take building blocks and create workflows that solve real problems quickly and effectively, without the need for manual intervention.”

Uzair Khan, Manager of Network Services at RUSH University Medical Center

From Automation to Orchestration for a FinTech Network

“Itential will make us more money by increasing our velocity to deliver infrastructure. It will save us money, because to deliver more, I won’t need any significant increase in headcount. And it keeps me off the front page by allowing me to ensure infrastructure is consistently secured everywhere.”

Michael Wynston, Director of Architecture & Automation at Fiserv

Automation & Orchestration with Itential

Whether it’s training engineers on Ansible and Python, or attempting to centralize automation expertise or evaluating commercial point solutions — our customers have seen their fair share of challenges to get functioning automation off the ground.

Let’s be real, network automation at scale isn’t just about whipping up a quick script to save a few clicks. It’s about building resilient, scalable systems that deliver real value, save time, and keep everything running smoothly.

At Itential, we believe automation and orchestration must be practical to implement and operate, allowing you to take your existing automation work and build an integrated system around it for scale.
