As organizations prioritise automation for processes across functions, CIOs must explore strategies to unlock momentous new capabilities, reduce costs, and increase efficiencies.
​
Intelligent Automation is a critical business strategy, but a one-size-fits-all strategy simply won’t work. CIOs must distinguish between business processes and IT processes. IT is the backbone for any organization and must operate at a pace faster than the speed of business, with an automation strategy that is resilient and future-proof. So how do you ensure your IT automation strategy delivers maximum benefit by unlocking the potential for hyper speed in executing IT processes, agile decision making and process efficiencies to deliver accelerated growth.
In today’s interview we discuss:
-
How do you embrace this rapidly changing digital world and make the best automation choices?
-
How is intelligent automation in the cloud delivering value to organisations?
-
A successful automation strategy begins with accurate problem identification in a business process and subsequently selecting the right use case for automation. When it comes to IT, how should CIOs approach this?
