Knowledge in organizations is another good source of Best Practices, although this knowledge might have the disadvantage of having a concrete context and needs of a specific organization. The network administrators must be prepared to strengthen their knowledge regarding the future infrastructures in enterprise and public networks and the skills required to build and provide maintenance, but also to manage them in order to give best value to the customer. The adoption of best practices is a topic that must be considered by IT professionals. The introduction of a new methodology is a great change for organizations.
