Course Description

The world is changing quickly. Ubiquitous access to information has fundamentally changed the expectations of customers and business owners. As we get comfortable in having conversations with Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple’s Siri, we now want our business software to respond to our questions in an intelligent and human-like manner. In short, we are moving away from reports and dashboards to the next wave of technology that will help us focus on tasks that we are professionally trained for and also guide us in making the right and informed decisions.

In this webinar, Doug Sleeter will share with you the compelling technologies that will drive business solutions for the next decade and help you prepare for it. As Doug says, your ability is important, but it's your agility in business that will determine your ultimate success. Agility trumps ability.
