As connected as the world is today, it can feel quite disconnected, especially in IT. Individual teams use various tools, each with specialized interfaces and dedicated dashboards, to present or interpret data each the specific functional team needs.

These rules and standards also determine how data traverses the web. Without these protocols, internet traffic as we know it would be severely fragmented or even grind to a screeching halt. And without evolving protocol development, the web couldn’t properly support the applications driving massive traffic volumes worldwide (or vice versa).
