Anyone with an iPhone. Apple says that it can support up to 50 users. I am guessing few people would actually use it very much. And I am hoping everyone else gets the same idea.

Guide to Centralizing IT Operations: How to Link Tasks and Tools with an Automation Platform

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation.
