For organizations ready to take the final step in their network automation journey, they’re looking to evolve from process orchestration to self-serve networking. Self-serve networking exposes the process orchestrations already built to a larger set of end users, providing capabilities like Network as a Service via APIs.
The business impact of this transition is significant. Organizations who succeed with implementing self-service can provide the best experience for end users and customers, delivering more services in less time across their complex hybrid, distributed infrastructure.
In the final part 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, will walkthrough:
- How the transition to self-service networking becomes a benefits force multiplier.
- The components of a self-service model and the tools and technologies that enable it.
- Lessons learned by teams who have successfully transitioned to self-service networking.
- How Itential supports self-service with its northbound API exposure capabilities.
- The perspective of an engineer and what’s needed to evolve to make your automations become self-service for end users.
- The perspective of IT leaders and what’s needed to set your team up for self-service networking success.
