TechVibe Radio had the opportunity to interview legendary Pittsburgh tech entrepreneur Jack Roseman about his new book “Jump!” If you don’t know Jack Roseman, you really should. And tonight is a great opportunity to learn about a man who has helped so many tech entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh over the last 30 years. Jack was the founder of three companies and President of On-Line Systems, which traded on the American Stock Exchange. Currently, Jack is the Director of The Roseman Institute and was a chaired professor of entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University. He is not new to being an author as he published his book “Outrageous Optimism” way back in 2004, which accepted local acclaim. Order a copy of “Jump!” here. Jack’s interview starts around the 9-minute mark. Hit the 32 minute mark for SDLC Partners detailing robotic process automation. Robotic process automation technology uses artificial intelligence to execute repetitive, rules-based, and back-end tasking. And, according to a 2017 report by the Everest Group, is on the cusp of experiencing “explosive” growth. Their report indicates that, in 2016, the RPA market grew 64 percent to $200 million and expected to grow another 70 to 90 percent by 2018.
