Why Automate Router Provisioning?
Manual processes for provisioning routers require collecting data from many different sources, manipulating that data to generate a proper configuration, applying that configuration to a device, and testing the device to ensure the device works as intended. Managing these tasks manually takes too much time, introduces more configuration errors, and does not scale as demand for services increases. This erodes customer satisfaction and ultimately results in a loss of revenue due to deployment delays and cancellations.
Network automation helps to:
- Eliminate delays in provisioning due to manual data gathering between systems.
- Validate configurations are error-free to avoid on-site troubleshooting.
- Reduce customer onboarding time from multiple weeks to a few days.
- Recognize customer revenue faster and drive down operational expenses.
