In this fast-paced, dynamic market, it’s essential that you stay abreast of the latest market and vendor developments to best harness the power of RPA – at the right cost and with suitable contract terms. And, with everyone touting their “latest thing,” one must be able to separate the hype from the truth.

The impact of the convergence of RPA and AI (and other key automation tools)
Key contract pricing metrics so you are prepared for deal negotiations
Managing the implications on your existing outsourcing relationships
