To put it mildly, automation has made the news a lot recently, as it has seen a lot of impressive advancements recently. As it stands, only around 35% of companies already embrace AI and 42% are exploring its opportunities for future endeavors. While some business leaders hesitate to use AI, history has a clear pattern: adapt to changing times or fall behind. 

However, it’s clear that every enterprise has different needs when it comes to AI tools. Here’s how you can increase your business efficiency with the right automation for your needs.

Identify Core Inefficiencies Within Your Enterprise

Every enterprise has inefficiencies slowing them down. The challenge is to identify them.

Fortunately, you have one key asset to identify these issues; namely staff. Your employees should have the insight you need to identify areas that slow down progress within your organization. Ask for their feedback through a company-wide survey for larger enterprises, or simply ask your staff about challenges they face on a daily basis.

In most cases, you’ll find that employees are slowed down by tedious and routine tasks that could benefit from automation. Common examples include:

• Data synchronization across platforms
• Reporting
• Analytics
• Logging
• Archival
• Coding

Remember, when these inefficiencies are company-wide, they can amount to significant losses in productivity and time waste.

Determine Your Needs

Next, you’ll need to identify the most pressing needs in your enterprise. For example, are you more concerned about reducing errors, increasing productivity, enhancing security, making processes easier, or simply lightening your workload?

Fortunately, the right systems can help with all of the above. Still, it’s important to identify your core needs and challenges before choosing the right system.

Choose Tasks to Automate

To choose the right automation, you need to determine your needs. Once you’ve identified key inefficiencies within your workflow, you’ll need to identify which require human intervention.

Don’t panic. While this isn’t obvious at first thought, it isn’t overly complicated.

The major questions you’ll need to ask include:

• Is this process repetitive?
• Can an automated system access the data?
• Does this process currently require a lot of human overhead?
• Is this process prone to manual errors?
• Does this process require centralized governance?
• Will this process require human intervention with clearly-defined rules?

Once you check through each question, you’ll find that each process will fall into one of three categories. It may operate with full automation, partial automation, or it can’t be automated at all. 

For a concrete example, if you wanted to know if data synchronization could be automated. It’s a repetitive process that is prone to errors and often requires human intervention and overhead. However, it requires central governance, which may limit the number of platforms a system can synchronize. Still, you can work around this with a centralized automation platform. More on that later.

Conversely, a process such as staff evaluation is a constantly-varying process that would require human overhead and knowledge that remains inaccessible to an automated system. Therefore, this cannot be automated.

How to Choose the Right Automation Tools

When choosing a system, why spend more on multiple subscriptions and complicate your workflow? Instead, choose a system that can help you meet all of your objectives with maximal security and ease of use.
