Gartner Vision: Intelligent Automation Services (RPA, Chatbots, AI) EDT: 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 17:00 There was a shift in the tectonic plates (core foundation) of business and IT services at the turn of this century with the offshore wave (labor arbitrage). We are now in the midst of the next big tectonic shift via automation arbitrage, a term Gartner is using to describe the recalibration of human labor to drive business outcomes. The disruption of artificial intelligence and related technologies (RPA, chatbots, machine learning, and cognitive) is here, and more is on the way. In this webinar, we present the Gartner vision on the impacts to business and IT services. This will likely be one of the most important conversations in the next decade - how automation will change the value proposition in all organizations.
