Wonking Out on Policy

It’s an election year, so public policy wonks are everywhere. They talk incessantly about the technicalities of public policy. The process is long, with endless debate. Final policy decisions can be fluid and are influenced by which side you’re on, so they’re subjective. However, policy does have a purpose, being a deliberate system to guide decisions and achieve outcomes, implemented as procedures or protocols.

IT has a superior data-driven option for generating and enforcing policy – Cisco Tetration.

Businesses need policy wonks too. They guide us in creating the IT policies we need to achieve outcomes across areas such as operations, applications, and security. Unlike ideology-driven public policy, however, IT has a superior data-driven option for generating and enforcing policies: Cisco Tetration .
