APAC REGIONAL ADVANTAGES

At a first glance, when compared to agenda’s in Europe and the America’s it seems that Asia is slightly behind the conversation. But look deeper and onee finds that regional advantages abound.

The kickoff keynote in particular sights a statistic that should make business run intelligent automation strategists jealous – that 50% of CIOs are in on the IA conversation and seemingly in charge of the decision-making.

Some say that the region is behind in implementation. Even if that's the case, they don’t have to suffer another oft-quoted statistic –30-50% of initial implementations failing. Which means that 2019 just might be the year that APAC leapfrogs the other regions:
