Using Automation To Leapfrog Your Business

Automation. It’s the buzzword that threatens to take away your job. Powered by robotics and artificial intelligence, businesses are increasingly efficient when automation is embedded in their structure. However, when workers in emerging markets learn to leverage robots and automation and leapfrogging old technologies enables them to move into more developed status. This will not only benefit workers and businesses, but also the Malaysian economy. We speak to Malina Platon, Managing Director ASEAN for UiPath about how you can prepare yourself and your business for the automation economy.
