“Teaming with technology leaders like UiPath allows us to deliver a state-of-the-art solution for Federal CFOs to enhance the flexibility of the solution, and to show the power of RPA,” said Dave Schmidtknecht, CEO of cBEYONData. “We are happy to forge this partnership with the leader in the RPA space.”
