Hi my name is Tim Fujita-Yuhas and I’m the Vice President of Product Management for the Precisely Automate product family. I joined Precisely as part of the Winshuttle acquisition and I’m based in Seattle WA. I’m happy to be hear and talk with you regarding our roadmap and share some thoughts on product innovation ideas that we’re exploring in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Before we get started, how about a quick show of hands, how many of you are using Foundation or Evolve today?
How many of you are only using our Studio desktop product?
How many of you are using or planning to use SAP S/4HANA in the coming year
Thanks that gives me an idea of what topics may interest you all.
I’m going to share our mission statements for each product and explain our roadmap themes, then share how we view the roadmap and focus on what we are targeting for release in the next 12 months.
Lastly, since generative AI specifically and AI/ML is going to be so disruptive to the way we work, I want to share a short proof of concept mockup that will illustrate how the concept of a citizen developer is going to radically change as a result.
