Amanda Gallagher:
We are really in the business of building trusted relationships with our clients globally. And we look at AI as one tool in our toolbox to help us get to know our clients better, to help us interact with them the way they want to more efficiently, and really free up our sales teams, our employees' time from administrative tasks, from data analysis, really help them maximize the time they can actually spend with their clients and really shift their focus from some of these more manual tasks, right, to spending more and more time with their clients, understanding what those needs are, and being able to deliver the best solutions for them.
