Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the return of our highly successful RPA Asia Summit this June! In our 4th year now, we understand that RPA is no longer a buzzword and organisations no longer need to be convinced on the benefits of RPA.
However, we also understand that as organisations continue along their RPA journey, there now exists a mismatch between reality and expectations when it comes to evaluating the true ROI of RPA.
So how can RPA leaders bridge that gap to drive continuous improvements, increase cost savings and productivity gains? As they work on further integrating RPA with enterprise operations, how are they mapping out a sustainable RPA and Intelligent Automation (IA) roadmap to ensure long-term business value? With that in mind, the theme this year is focused on “Achieving Greater ROI, Scaling Enterprise-Wide Implementation and Advancing towards Cognitive Automation”. Whether you are an early adopter or an advanced RPA player, do not miss out on the case studies, panel discussions, workshops and interactive roundtables we have lined up for you – ensuring that you will continue (or start) your RPA journey on the right track!
I look forward to seeing you in June 2019.
Best Regards,
Evon Yew Conference Director4th Annual Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Asia Summit 2019
