Story
Consumer Staples work at Ocado spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Campus and branch networking was splitting across regional habits. Network engineers asked for a shared way to run network operations without freezing local judgment.
F5 (F5 Distributed Cloud) is what they standardized on. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. Ocado uses it as the system of record for campus and branch networking, with network engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
