These results represent a 37 percent increase in revenue over the previous TTM and a 132 percent increase over the past 36 months.

Capturing and analyzing transaction data from each employee's desktop, companies can leverage this intelligence to better understand how workers perform their jobs and utilize the applications and systems. Using the aggregated transaction intelligence, continuous improvement initiatives can be implemented to drive increased efficiency and streamlined worker processes using desktop automation.
