Business intelligence and data analytics are revolutionizing industries – disruptive companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Netflix are measuring and benchmarking everything they do to create a more efficient, more productive future for everyone.  Our profession must chart a new course for itself, to embrace business intelligence, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and workflow automation to serve the world of the future, not the world of the 20th century.  Today, it is essential for firms to move to platforms which help the technology solve problems for the practitioner instead of the practitioner always working to solve problems with the technology.

Join industry thought leaders Brian Tankersley, K2 Enterprises and Brian Siet, Wolters Kluwer as they share insights on robust cloud-based platforms like CCH Axcess™ that give firms the security and technological frameworks needed to empower the emerging technologies of the near future, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation.
