Redwood Software, a Frisco-based provider of automation fabric solutions, is celebrating its 30th year in business and the 20th anniversary of its partnership with SAP, the global leader in enterprise applications and business AI.
The anniversaries come shortly after the company announced the addition of two executives to its leadership team.
