The recent advances in robotic process automation (RPA), cognitive computing and artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally change how work gets done!
Virtualized FTE’s or digital labor is revolutionizing the way we think about and administer business processes, IT support processes, workflow processes, remote infrastructure and back-office work.

Outsourcing as we know it will be forever changed, large enterprises are rethinking how work gets done, and every industry will be impacted.
