"Demand for our products grew 850% in 2017, reaffirming the power of AI to automate common business processes such as customer onboarding in banking, claims processing in insurance, or accounts payable in shared services," said CEO Alex Lyashok. "We were first to launch AI-powered RPA, first to launch free RPA with RPA Express and first to launch free education with Automation Academy. We will continue to deliver firsts to the market, and will continue to help our customers future-proof their businesses by making jobs work."

"Intelligent Automation is the next wave of not only workforce efficiency but also how established businesses will grow through digital initiatives, and WorkFusion is the clear leader," said Hawk Equity founder David Hawkins. Brian Frank, Managing Partner of Declaration Partners continued, adding that "WorkFusion's automation technology solves critical operational problems for enterprises. After extensive market research and discussions with customers and analysts, it is clear that WorkFusion is demonstrating that AI will transform how companies work."
