It was a milestone week for Network to Code. We had the opportunity to present last Thursday at Networking Field Day 21 in San Jose, California. This turned out to be the biggest Field Day event ever which spanned 4 days (not the usual 3 day event). Network automation played a big part of the event, and that was great to see. As you’re probably aware, network automation is our focus at Network to Code. It’s what drives us, motivates us, and is what we are all passionate about–enabling us to have a collective team that is second to no other in the industry.

During our two-hour time slot that began bright and early at 8am local time, our team (John Anderson, Damien Garros, Jeremy Stretch, and myself) presented five topics. This blog is the first in a series that’ll summarize each of those topics.

I kicked things off talking about who we are and what’re all about. I’ve written about this in the past, but things are moving quick, so here is another update.

As we expect to grow to over 40 employees by the end of the year, we continue to work with many of the world’s largest organizations across numerous verticals. This includes companies from the Fortune 10 to 2000.

We believe that workflows drive automation and there is generally too much focus on tools. We believe there must be focus on creating well-defined network automation architectures.

In order to deliver value at a faster rate and ensure our clients have confidence in what we do, we employ a 3-pronged approach in order to execute for our clients: this includes (1) delivering and automating high-value “quick wins” or the “low hanging fruit” (2) building an Enterprise platform architecture and subsequently the platform itself and (3) continuously enabling our clients with formal and informal training, strategy, and peer & code review. This all happens after we’ve successfully discovered and assessed the current state of the environment.
