Enterprise Automation
Enterprise Automation: Modernize your organization for increased productivity and efficiency.
Enterprise automation can sound like a massive undertaking, and it certainly can be. However, many companies have taken the strategic approach of using biting off smaller, departmental (and even sub-departmental) automation projects while keeping their focus on the larger goal of a fully-automated enterprise. Many of these projects fall under the broader framework of "Digital Transformation."
So what to do we mean by "an automated enterprise?"
Enterprise automation is the systematic review of an organization's processes to ensure optimal performance while looking for manual processes that can be replaced with intelligent digital alternatives.
