Automation Innovation 2014 Highlights

On December 10, 2014, IRPA launched the first conference of its kind... Automation Innovation 2014! Frank Casale, Founder and CEO of IRPA and co-chair Chip Wagner, CEO of Alsbridge, kicked off our event in NYC with a bang! The day was packed full of presentations from industry leaders and innovators all ready to educate the attendees about robotic process automation and how it will be disruptive in nature and change outsourcing as we know it. The future is here… AND WE ARE ALL EMBRACING IT!

Robotic automation has made a deep mark on manufacturing and supply chain industries around the world by freeing human workers from repetitive, labor-intensive tasks, thus enabling agility in response to new markets and regulatory demands.

Recent advances in technology in the form of robotic process automation software can now be applied to back office administrative processes, information technology (IT) and customer contact functions. These advances will transform the way organizations look at workflow and business processes. It will force IT and business executives to rethink the way they plan, source and budget some of their most critical projects. While Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will certainly impact all members of the outsourcing ecosystem, it clearly goes beyond outsourcing.

IRPA’s Automation Innovation Conference brought together leading decision makers, industry influencers, thought leaders, buyers and providers alike to discover how robotic process automation is making a disrupting presence in the outsourcing industry.

Message from the Conference Chairs

Frank Casale, Founder & CEO

Institute for Robotic Process Automation and the Outsourcing Institute

Welcome to the future.

It was a great pleasure to host such a first of its kind gathering. We promised a day full of eye opening knowledge around robotic process automation, the benefits it bares and what to expect over the next 24 months and our team of keynote speakers, executives, practitioners and industry experts certainly delivered. With over 150 technology, sourcing and business leaders in attendance we tipped the scale for a ground-breaking event.

As we move into 2015, we at IRPA are prepared to keep you well informed of robotic process automation and how it will continue to change the outsourcing landscape, as we know it. Ready or not …The future is here!

Chip Wagner, CEO

Alsbridge

The IRPA team did a fantastic job in preparing an agenda and gathering speakers that are on the forefront of the RPA field. Thought leaders and pioneers described how RPA requires a fundamentally new conceptual perspective. Practitioners and customers provided actual case studies and specific examples of RPA implementations. Through this process we all gained a clearer sense of the broader implications as well as the concrete benefits of this hugely important trend.

From my perspective the goal of the event was to demonstrate that RPA is a game-changer. What we got instead was a sense of what the new game will look like and what the rules will be. In that sense Frank and his team exceeded expectations in terms of both strategic vision and flawless execution.”
