Organizations must constantly seek to improve, or they risk being left behind.

Potential Investment Implications…
Automation helps address this. By intelligently automating workflows, organizations can not only cut down on low-value, time-intensive tasks, but unlock human capital to focus on issues that are much more valuable.
Companies like UiPath – which recently went public – are moving quickly in the automation space, servicing most of the Fortune 500 companies. As businesses continue to seek advanced automation solutions to drive efficiencies, it’s interesting to think of what businesses are well positioned in this space and what new automation use cases will arise as the technologies become more advanced.
