To executives outside of IT, automation might seem like a no-brainer.
After all, if, in theory, you already know what works in your company and know that machines can handle those processes faster, cheaper, and more reliably than humans, why not dive right in?
The fact that automation is so powerful is exactly why it pays to plan carefully. If automation glitches can surprise Amazon, Google, and Facebook, they can happen to any company. The more detailed your strategic consulting services planning is now, the fewer problems you’ll face later. Business automation consulting experts have witnessed far more of what works — and what might unexpectedly fail — than even the most experienced IT executives have seen.
More than half (54%) of companies say that their biggest challenge in automating workflows is mapping complex processes. So starting an automation project is the ideal time to leverage SaaS consulting to gain an outside perspective on those processes and workflows, your existing technologies, as well as your overall business goals. With a clearer understanding of how all these factors work together — how they might work better — you can lead your company to a far smarter, far more elegant, and far more robust implementation.
A well-conceived automation solution will deliver speed, scalability, and repeatability. But it also shifts dull and repetitive work to machines and frees your team to focus on the more critical and complex issues facing your business.
Avoiding employee burnout is more important than ever in the “Great Resignation.” Nearly half of employees are still looking for a new job or plan to soon. What’s more, by 2030, more than 85 million jobs could go unfilled because there aren’t enough skilled people to take them.
