Great post from Joanna Stoffregen,
I do think it’s important and fair to call out Automation companies like UiPath, Automation Anywhere and others out to see what’s next.
With the depth and speed AI is innovating many software companies (meaning all companies at this point) and platform, services, and licensing companies need to wake up.
However, the good news 📰 is that at this time, AI is not auditable, is still not fully enterprise ready in the way the enterprise automation is, (yet)… although in 18 months… considering what happened in this year alone… all bets are off.
So what’s the answer? Where do companies place bets now so they can cover future aspirations? The answer still is, Automation, define your processes, understand your employees workloads, enable them and build towards efficiency.
Then when you want to bring in AI/GenAI/AGI the framework, the connections, and the employee upskill towards being more digitally savvy is already in place. AI is still expensive, automation that focuses on ROI, can help front some of not all of these costs. Your automation team, since it will be deployed as a COE, center of enablement will also be in a place to not only adopt AI, however, they can teach, add it into existing processes, and do so while maintaining governance and control.
The Autonomous Enterprise is coming, in 2024, it will be enabled by autonomous agents.
