Panel discussion: Where and what to automate

Automation is the way forward for most organisations, but the questions remain: “Where do you start the journey?” and “How do you implement it?” This session will focus on:

  • Knowing where the responsibilities of automation lie;
  • Tracking the different implementation stages; and
  • Understanding the risks involved when adopting automation.
