We have a full-blown customer in the system that is really ready to be used: ready for ordering, order processing, shipping, and invoicing - without having even touched this data.

"How can we possibly automate the processing of 150,000 change requests per year?" – this was the driving question for us. Extrapolating early numbers, we have an automation rate of ~40% and a workload saving of 25%.
