Examples from real business case studies will be presented to show how companies are leveraging modern technologies such as RPA to achieve business outcomes including improved profitability, reduced waste, and overall improvements to back-office efficiencies, the release said. The session is scheduled from 1-2 p.m. in meeting rooms C125-126.

“The real benefit of business automation is not only improved productivity and efficiency, but also the ability to empower employees to engage in more meaningful work and have a greater impact for your business,” Ngo said in the release.

From securing your workplace to providing data analytics and insights, IT when done well can be your competitive advantage.”
