Gina Narcisi

COVID-19 is changing the working landscape around the globe, but it’s not all bad. The crisis has exposed emerging areas of opportunity in the tech space and executives from leading tech vendors and solution providers weigh in on the job roles and skills that will be needed in a post-pandemic world.

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.
