As a result of today's flexible, customizable and open platforms that are built for speed-of-innovation and personalization, we have finally reached the point in time when the same applications used to provide excellent customer experiences can be used to provide excellent employee collaboration experiences. Specifically, it is with an open platform that the value of mobility, automation, artificial intelligence, and cloud can be realized throughout the entire enterprise to accommodate changing business priorities and keep them ahead of the market," said Philonenko.
