**Enterprise Network Automation for 2020 and Beyond**

**On-Demand Webinar**

Network automation used to be about writing one-off single-use scripts to eliminate simple, repetitive network management tasks. Today, enterprises are pushing the envelope by using advanced analytics, off-the-shelf and internally-developed software, vendor APIs, and more to automate complex network management processes.

Enterprise Management Associates’ (EMA) new research report, “Enterprise Network Automation for 2020 and Beyond,” offers IT professionals a guide toward understanding the opportunities they have with network automation. EMA surveyed 250 IT professionals and conducted a half-dozen phone interviews to identify best practices and successful strategies for network automation solutions.

The research explored what enterprises can realistically expect from state-of-the-art network automation technology today. EMA identified several best practices for tool selection and implementation, network automation team formation, and more.

Join EMA Research Director Shamus McGillicuddy, for a webinar presentation that explores the results of this research, including:

- **Network automation solutions:** The types of tools enterprises are using to automate their networks.
- **Use cases**: The management processes enterprises are automating and the places in the network are they automating.
- **Challenges:** Business and technical issues that challenge network automation projects
- **Training priorities:** Network automation skills gaps that enterprises are addressing
- **Analytics:** How enterprises apply advanced analytics to network automation
- **Source of truth:** How enterprises ensure that automation tools understand the network
