Auxis CEO Raul Vega was interviewed by Insights Success Magazine in the context of Auxis being awarded as one of The Most Admired Companies to watch in 2019. Read a summary of the interview below:

As the use of cloud computing continues to grow, organizations are putting more of their workloads in public clouds and pursuing multi-cloud strategies that will hopefully generate lower costs, increase agility and provide greater flexibility. However, that is not always the case as the cloud journey can become quite bumpy and the need for a cloud provider can become urgent.

Auxis has grown over the years, so have the needs, demands, and expectations of its clients. We believe that it’s imperative that aligning IT services with the needs of our client’s business should be a mutual vision. As Auxis ITO Operations has adhered to the IT Information Library (ITIL) framework over the last decade, it has been done so using a combination of ITIL v2 and v3 with the sole purpose of implementing a “best practices” framework to improve IT services and customer satisfaction at all levels and also to meet and exceed service expectations by being more agile and working more efficiently.

Could RPA be the transformational lifeline that companies are seeking to push their earnings into the black? Given that RPA implementations can be done in a matter of weeks and not months or years, perhaps it might be. Consider this; According to a recent Computer Economics survey on RPA trends, nearly one quarter of large organizations are currently dabbling in some form of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), while investment in RPA shows that that growth should continue for quite some time. In this article we will give you enough reasons why, regardless of your company size, now might be the right time to reboot work with Robotics Process Automation (RPA).

One of the stone cold realities of today’s business landscape is that it is marked by growing competitive intensity & disruption. In fact, recent research shows that since 2000, 52 percent of companies in the Fortune 500 have either gone bankrupt, been acquired, or ceased to exist as a result of digital disruption. The ways in which one can deal with today’s digital disruption start by understanding how it differs from past industry changes, making sure that we don’t make the same mistakes again, and exploring ways in which we can make change a trusted ally instead of a vindictive enemy. The other reality? Most executives don’t have a road map for change. 

What do you know about Costa Rica? Although it’s true that most people associate Costa Rica with palm trees, rain forests, its natural beauty, a diverse landscape bordered by two oceans and access to countless adventure activities like zip lining, surfing and exploring volcanoes. But did you know that over 350 high-tech companies and 29 of the Fortune 100 companies have established successful operations in Costa Rica? 

“Every company, regardless of size is doing something in the Cloud!”

With that spot on proclamation from Auxis Technology Leader and moderator, Alvaro Prieto, The Auxis CIO Breakfast Roundtable on How to Maximize your Cloud, was officially off and running.

Outsourcing is no longer just about cost savings. It’s an undeniably strategic tool that enables companies to capitalize on the world’s evolution into a smaller, more tech-savvy place

Why well-designed processes don’t limit IT’s abilities, they enhance them Thoughtfully-designed processes are an essential part of any successful enterprise – streamlining tasks and making sure resources are put to optimal use. But when it comes to IT, business processes are often viewed with suspicion – considered nothing more than bureaucratic controls that limit the creativity of tech professionals.

A few months ago, KPMG studied the backgrounds and experience of the CFOs at 100 global technology and communications companies, as well as individuals who had previously been finance chiefs at 75 companies for which such information was available.  And this is what they concluded: the job/role of today’s CFO has never been more difficult and it isn’t getting any easier.

Simply put, outsourcing is the practice of delegating work normally performed within a company to an outside firm – it’s a concept that’s pretty familiar to most executive teams. Even small businesses routinely outsource processes that aren’t part of their core competencies like payroll or IT functions, leveraging benefits ranging from lower costs to service innovations.

No business wants to become the next data breach poster child. And companies are right to be concerned: in 2018, data breaches cost American businesses an average of $7.91 million – significantly higher than any other country.

As the Age of Automation revolutionizes business process management, digital transformation experts are heralding Robotics Process Automation (RPA) as a must-evaluate technology – enabling companies to cut costs by an average of 40 percent, streamline operations, and enhance quality of work without changing existing systems.

Can today’s CFO leverage available innovation to push the business forward with velocity and scale? Oftentimes this question is outwardly asked but rarely answered and embraced in wholesale fashion as it was at the Executive Roundtable Breakfast organized by Auxis and co-sponsored by UiPath, Focal Point Data Risk, The CFO Leadership Council, and The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce last month in Miami.

It doesn’t take most businesses long to grasp “going digital” is easier said than done. Forward-thinking businesses understand that the path to becoming future-proof in today’s global business environment is paved with digital transformation. But it doesn’t take long for most organizations to grasp that “going digital” is easier said than done.

As the tsunami wave of digital transformation washes across every industry, a new champion is emerging: The Chief Financial Officer.

Let’s face it, if you’re in IT, then you know that DevOps is one the hottest buzzwords in the IT space – and it’s quickly emerging as the new standard for how IT organizations can produce excellent outcomes in a faster, easier way. But like any emerging concept, confusion surrounds how to run DevOps for peak performance – and many business leaders are unclear about what DevOps even entails. So let’s get to it.

Look around: We are in the midst of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, and it’s redefining traditional ways of doing business. Emerging automation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Robotics Process Automation (RPA), and cognitive computing are creating a seismic shift in the way humans work.

In a recent interview with Auxis CEO, Raul Vega, Nearshore Americas posed the question: “Is Costa Rica heading for Saturation?”
