The automation capabilities have reduced the majority of the work that our team used to do manually, as manual processes consume a lot of time and are prone to human error, and when it comes to automation, we see the performance has been raised, clients are also satisfied with the performance, we do not have much downtime or any critical issues that are highlighted which impact the business, and automation has really changed and is a game changer for us.
