And with RF TechLab, an emerging technology and analytics incubator, it now offers conversational AI, advanced data visualization and social intelligence to clients.
Such innovations rely on keeping its 1,140 employees sharp. With innovations such as the new TechLab ShopTalks series, it offers insights into emerging technologies, data and analytics. The program creates a comfortable learning environment, using external experts.
