Cisco Crosswork NSO expertise
Cisco Crosswork NSO is the leading network automation platform for enterprises and service providers. When successfully deployed, lead-times for provisioning of network services are reduced from weeks to minutes and manual configuration errors are minimized, leading to better network quality.
However, implementing Cisco Crosswork NSO comes with a series of challenges that can prove costly unless you have the skills and experience to manage them.
Typical Cisco Crosswork NSO challenges include:
- Lack of internal software skills
- Learning curve of the platform
- NSO Integrations with other support systems
- Efficient setup of automated NSO quality assurance including a lab network
- Getting buy-in from operations teams
