5. At Forrester we often talk about COOM
6. The Forrester CX (customer experience) team has researched and analyzed data from over 100k customers across the displayed industries. Our research shows us that making a one point improvement in the CX score has the potential to make a significant impact on the bottom line. Organizations that recognize the central importance of customer experience will lead their markets.
7. Bjorn commits code (or config changes) and Deploy automates deployment The Automator observes new builds and updates config to create a new release Config changes are committed to Git The Synchronizer ensures the orchestrator has the correct state Deployment orchestration  instant fix if you blow away Deploy Synchronizer
8. This slide indicates the need for shorter and better feedback loops. Waterfall encourages a disconnection between the customer and product development team.

10. Users select environments from a catalog DevOps team members design environments Managers set policies on consumption and permissions Consumption of an environment is always scoped by time or usage
11. Pascal The next step is to create a blueprint template that will effectively serve as a for your sandboxes. This process is quite simple. It is based on the premise that the network architect should be able to just drag and drop elements from a resource and app catalog onto the canvas (physical or virtual assets) and connect them just like you would draw on a diagram in visio or even on a napkin. Each element has preconfigured automation capabilities, and once the layout is complete all you have to do is decide on which parameter are going to be publish as input such as NFV version or firmware version and publish it to the self service catalog so that it becomes available for all users to consume. In this layout you can see a number of physical resources like cisco routers that will be reserved, virtual application components including a vCPE that will be deployed at the time of deployment and tools such as IxLoad and BreakingPoint that will be used once the sandbox is active. Another important aspect is the connectivity between these elements is defined in the blueprint, in this case a number of VLAN segments and SD-WAN policies and configured by the orchestration at deployment time so that all these links are configured dynamically. I will cover this example more in depth as part of the demo.
