CHALLENGE
Needed to manage device configuration and updates
across legacy network gear, WAN, and modern cloud
services. They were plagued with velocity issues and
suffered from a lack of teamwide automation solution
adoption.

All Teams
We have a broad portfolio of devices ranging up to 20 years
old. Every software upgrade we do is manual, painful, and
slow. With Itential, we were able to move fast, accelerate our
rate of change, and ensure we have an automation platform
that brings common automation techniques and skills
together.

Hybrid Cloud Compliance, Validation,& Auto
Remediation
CHALLENGE
Suffering from velocity issues due to high rate of
network changes. The network became the
bottleneck to rapid iteration from the DevOps team
and needed a solution that could manage
compliance, ensure validation, and adhere change
management protocols across hybrid infrastructure.

the only solution that provided the validation and auto
remediation capabilities needed to ensure our teams could
work together to make changes quickly, while staying in
compliance.
