An experts guide to the A-Z of all things Robotic Process Automation, Data Analytics, Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my series ‘An experts guide to the A-Z of all things Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Data Analytics (DA), Intelligent Automation (IA) and Digital Transformation (DT)’.

This is a LinkedIn series where I will be sharing a post starting with the letter “A” and ending with the letter “Z”. Over the next number of weeks you will learn tips and insights to build far greater understanding of Robot Process Automation, Intelligent Automation, Data Analytics and Digital Transformation.

I am using what I have learned about digital transformation, RPA and AI along side my 25 year plus business experience to give back to LinkedIn’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Automation (IA), Data Analytics (DA) and Digital Transformation (DT) communities.

I have started this article to make it easier for people like yourself to follow along this series. I don’t want you to miss out on anything, and it is a great place to come back to for reference.

I hope that this series is very helpful and informative to you. I would love to read your comments, and hear your opinions so please engage and share any posts that you see fit to you.
