We’re inviting you to join Anthony Giardina of FortyOak (previously KPMG’s RPA Program Leader), Lorrie McBride (Manager of Software Quality, Collaboration Solutions, and Robotic Process Automation), Lilyan Parker (Lead Process Engineer at The MITRE Corporation) and Patrick Erkkila (Senior Program Manager – Process Automation CoE at Columbia Sportswear) as we discuss what it takes to automate.
