The most successful companies are often innovation leaders and early adopters who use state-of-the-art technologies and innovative methods to optimize and speed up processes. With Board, our clients are relying on a flexible product that integrates innovations - such as advanced analytics, cognitive technologies and artificial intelligence - to deliver actionable insights which can be used quickly and intuitively,” said Ansgar Eickeler, General Manager Central & Eastern Europe at Board.
