Network Automation Development
While designing and implementing infrastructure will always be important, software and automation skills are becoming even more in-demand as customers digitally transform their organizations and are looking for next-level services and solutions, said Joel Rourke, director of sales at DataVizion, a Lincoln, Neb.-based solution provider.
Many vendors today are offering automation software to help offload some infrastructure-related tasks for IT professionals. Companies that embrace automation will create room for the creation of new IT job tasks, like that of a network automation developer, instead of a network operator or architect. This role will be able to focus on creating and deploying new, profitable services for their companies and end users.
