New skills for modern network management. "By 2025, 75% of network teams will spend less than one-third of their time maintaining the network status quo and two-thirds for innovation and creating business value." - Joe Clarke, distinguished engineer, Cisco New technologies are eliminating many manual tasks in many industries, and IT is no exception. The good news for IT is that job demand remains high for those gaining new skill sets in demand, such as network programming capabilities. As network operations become more automated, network administrators will assume roles that align with new operational practices related to network lifecycle management, policy, and assurance. Network strategists will take on high-value roles that aim to improve business alignment, integrating IT processes, improving security, and making better use of data. In the next two years, advanced network technologies will disrupt almost all network functions. With IT assuming a more central role in business transformation, IT professionals must adapt. Whether a line of business is implementing a new IoT application, a new cloud service, or a new compliance policy, IT professionals must understand what is required of the network and what their role will be in order to deliver the services. necessary network connections on time and safely.
