SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ushur, the leader in cloud-native, no-code-enabled intelligent automation solutions, today announced that it has launched a Strategic Advisory Board comprised of some of the industry’s most accomplished executives and leaders from ServiceNow, MetLife, Unum, MIT Media Lab, Pure Storage, Express Scripts and Aryaka Networks.
