Hunting Configuration Drift: How WEC Uses Nautobot to Automate Network Compliance

Wednesday, June 3, 2026
9:40 AM - 10:40 AM CT
Location: CC - L100G
As utility communication networks expand to support fiber, microwave, IP, and private LTE infrastructure, maintaining accurate network data and efficient operational processes becomes increasingly challenging. This session will highlight how WEC Energy Group is using Nautobot, an open-source network source-of-truth and automation platform, to improve telecom and network operations.

Attendees will learn how centralizing network inventory, topology, and configuration data enables improved visibility, reduces manual processes, and supports automation-driven workflows. The presentation will share practical deployment insights, operational use cases, and lessons learned that demonstrate how utilities can improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in managing modern communications networks.
