Whether you crossed the automation chasm early, or are just starting your journey into digital service delivery, you’re not alone if you’ve got questions surrounding technical ecosystem choices. Generating ROI—and how exactly to go about proving the value of numerous small automation projects versus one giant re-platforming initiative—is a common challenge.

Using a diverse set of intelligent automation tools together to achieve your business aims isn’t always easy. More often than not, it involves figuring out how to integrate these different tools in what can become a very complex IT project.
RPA is becoming more mature, and it’s designed in part to address the challenge of integration within an underlying business system. However, when you start to put multiple tools together, for example using an RPA tool alongside...
Ever since humans began using robots to tackle tasks, there have been naysayers predicting everything from all human jobs being written off by 2020, to complete world domination by a race of self-aware machine overlords.
These people are wrong; there’s no need to start reaching for the panic buttons just yet. As we’ve seen over the previous decades, robotic automation has improved the balance of the human/digital workforce, and made huge savings in...
