Keeping your AP Automation project out of the ditch

Presenters list from the IOFM Conference appDescription from the IOFM Conference app














Last week was IOFM's Spring AP Conference & Expo. One of the many fantastic workshops was a panel discussion on Keeping your A/P Automation project out of the ditch. Here are a few notes that I tweeted at the time, just to give you a sneak peek!

    Hi Robert
    Love the site! Its interesting to know that there are so many people out there who are passionate about AP! Congratulations on seeing a need and then filling it!
    I am currently a post grad student at Sydney University (Australia). I am seeking insights from Australian AP industry professionals on both their processes, and their views on AP automation capabilities.
    Would this be something that you may be able to assist with at all?
