“Organizations are changing how they engage with customers and quickly adapt to volatile market conditions, all while confronting massive cost pressures. A strong digital foundation—powered by automation, data and cloud — is imperative to achieving years of change in a matter of months,” said Paul Daugherty, group chief executive — Technology and chief technology officer for Accenture. “Over 100,000 professionals currently use myWizard to help create, implement and measure an enterprise-wide automation strategy. Its new features will enable organizations to reduce operational costs and gain productivity, while growing their business with speed and certainty.”
