Automation in Corporate Supporting Functions

Digital transformation, and with it the automation of tasks and entire business processes, is one of the crucial levers to become a high performance organization. Organizations are increasingly able to reallocate resources from standard, often routine tasks to those with high human value-add and higher strategic relevance.
