Digital Business Automation a Podcast from Aberdeen & IBM

A magic show is based on trickery and illusion. It’s about making people see things that aren’t really happening. Digital business automation, while it might seem like things happen “automagically” is actually the exact opposite. It’s about removing blind spots in your business data, about helping workers find and see information that they need. About putting powerful tools in the hands of workers and customers and giving them real capabilities, and not just an illusion of power. Digital business automation is a key way that businesses are not only improving and transforming today, but how they will continue to grow and adopt new technologies in the near future.

Over 25 years ago the band R.E.M released one of their best selling albums, called Automatic for the People. And in recent years, AI and automation have been providing a lot of benefits for regular people and their everyday lives. But now we’re starting to see businesses reap the benefits of automation in increased agility, high productivity and reduced costs. A rock band may not release an album called Automatic for the Businesses, but clearly we are at the beginning of a new age where automation and intelligence are powering digital transformations.

Digital. Businesses have known for years that they need it and most have made good progress in getting rid of old processes and paper files and getting their vital information digitized and in the cloud. But that’s just step one in becoming a digital business. They key next step is to leverage automation to reduce workloads, gain efficiencies, boost productivity and effectively digitally transform your business.
