Modern times are good for those who love a challenge, because there certainly are many new and unexpected ones playing out these days. While frustrating at times, we expect to come out the other side better and stronger.
Our sponsorship of the fall CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide Conference, which includes lots of planning assistance to the conference team, provides us with some fun challenges making a hands-on event work with a split between an in-person and a remote audience.
Adding AI to RPA? Now there's an interesting challenge too. We have an article for that down below.
Let's solve some challenges!

Heads Up Is intelligent automation a panacea or Pandora's Box?
|
|
Many forward-thinking companies have leveraged Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to improve basic info management tasks and extend their modernization efforts. We have several webinars that get down and dirty on the subject.
Now, a new wave of advances in applying AI to RPA promises to take automation even further into the decision-making realm.

CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide Developer Conference Fall Conference Updates
|
|
Continued mask mandates and COVID-related restrictions has gotten us to thinking about ways to make a conference a more compelling experience for folks who will be attending from far away. So we put our heads together with the CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide conference team and came up with some solutions.
The conference will now provide increased access to trainers with a dedicated conference LinkedIn page before, during and after the conference. You can message course trainers directly to ask follow-up questions and get advice.
To enhance the remote learning experience, and give attendees more resources, they are extending virtual machine access for thirty days post-conference for those who request it. So now, you can get your hands dirty with the important training applications post-conference.
On a final note, the Austin F1 race finals are SOLD OUT for the first time in its history, and there are only 2 tickets left held by the conference for the VIP package.
The VIP package includes access to the 3 day event, Billy Joel concerts, and the final race. So if you've been thinking about adding the VIP F1 experience, now's the time to get 'em while they last before someone else takes the last two. Simply register at the link below and select the VIP F1 package. First one wins the race.

We Are Back to In-person Business
|
|
The pandemic created unique challenges. But times change, vaccines are made, and now we settle into another "new normal".
As of May 1st, 2021, we re-opened for in-person business. While much of our work will remain remote, we will also conduct meetings in-person as the situation warrants.
You can read our response to the challenge, and an offer of help (which still stands) to our strategic partners and clients on the CM First Group blog.
