Sowa, Head of the Intelligent Automation Offering at Capgemini’s Business Services.  “CV-up, with its flexible deployment across cloud, on-premise, and edge containers, has helped Capgemini in dealing with increased volume processing while improving cost efficiency through a 20% reduction in time spent on analysis and has, importantly, reduced human error.”
