Enterprises Should Act More Like Service Providers

Large enterprises treat their users and departments like a service provider. IT functions to meet their needs instead of being a slow cost center. That works for the Fortune 50 but why hasn’t it filtered down to smaller organizations yet? Are IT departments ill-equipped to function in this way at smaller sizes? Does the trend of outsourcing prevent it from happening? Can companies with a stake in both worlds help ease the transition? In this Networking Field Day delegate roundtable learn how enterprises should approach these questions.

Visibility and Automation Should Be Working Together

Automation isn’t going to take our jobs away any time soon. One of the major reasons why is because we don’t trust it yet to do the major jobs we rely on people to accomplish. Is it because we don’t think a script is capable of doing things a human would do? Or is it because we can’t tell for sure that the system has done what we’ve asked it to do and no more? Integrating visibility together with automation is the key to helping both tools grow into wider adoption. In this Networking Field Day delegate roundtable we explore how visibility and automation need to be more tightly integrated.
