Скачать или смотреть From Scripts to Platforms: What's Really Holding Back Network Automation?

New research from EMA reveals a surprising truth: after years of vendor innovation, why are 64% of enterprises still building network automation with homegrown scripts? And what needs to change to move beyond automation as a side project to a scalable, strategic function?

In this session, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research at EMA, Eric Anderson, Sr Service Reliability Architect for Armstrong World Industries, and William Collins, Tech Evangelist at Itential, have a candid discussion of the findings – and what they mean for both engineers and IT leadership.

We’ll Explore:
✔️ Why homegrown automation remains dominant despite its limitations
✔️ The tension between engineering flexibility and leadership’s need for governance
✔️ How platforms can support both high-code and low-code paths to scale
✔️ What Armstrong learned from evolving Python scripts into orchestrated, self-service workflows

If your team is stuck between one-off scripts and platform-scale goals, this session will offer real-world insight, new data, and actionable takeaways for moving forward.
