We’re hosting Boston business and technology leaders in an interactive discussion on how to use the latest tech to optimize business processes and sustain improvements.

Companies often struggle with determining the right process-centric technology to meet their needs and in achieving the expected solution benefits. The discussion will address these challenges by considering the following key questions:

What are BPM and RPA technologies?

  • How do we successfully use these technologies to enable and sustain process transformation and improvements?
  • What are the best practices for designing and deploying these solutions?
  • What are the typical implementation challenges and how do we overcome these?
  • What are the business benefits linked to these tools and how do we ensure those results are delivered?
