1 UNIFIED ANALYTICS, DATA SCIENCE, AND PROCESS AUTOMATION The scope of digital transformation and automation has shifted from one where analytics, data science, process automation, and the upskilling of people were separate organizational initiatives, to the realization that transformative outcomes mandate that these pillars converge into a single automation platform. Organizations looking to automate analytics, data science, optimize processes, and empower people to self-serve must consider platforms that unify all capabilities into one platform for a simple user experience. Instead of six to eight different point tools for data preparation, analytics, reporting, and business process automation, which results in a disconnected experience with slow or misaligned outcomes, Analytic Process Automation (APA) platforms converge all automation capabilities in one. The scope of automation provided by Analytic Process Automation shifts from individual discrete data and process tasks to unified analytics, data science, and business process automation, with an engaging user experience to enable rapid workforce upskilling. 3 ANALYTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION BUYERS GUIDE
