How automation can help you to run your business BETTER?
“Automation” or “automatic control” is a technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal or no humane assistance. Automation covers applications ranging from an electric fuse to a self-driving car, but massive usage of automation can be seen in traditional manual systems like customer care, IT support, or other mundane/repetitive work.
Automation can handle analytics reporting, ticket handling, scoring leads, shooting mails, and publishing on social media channels.
For implementing automation in business it will require a standardization of business processes and a bit of human intervention for setting up the whole process. Business must smartly choose the area and tasks which can be automated. Once this automation set-up is done it can benefit the organization in the following ways:
Meet market demands: Automation gives you the power to meet market demands and agility to handle changes in changing market conditions. You don’t have to hire more employees to handle fluctuation in customer demand, order volume, manage inventory, process orders, and payments.
Increase marketing ROI: It helps you retain leads more efficiently by quickly responding to a query(email or chat), automate a mail for a new customer pitch based on customer behavior, follow -up with connections, transfer a contact form from business card to a CRM tool, etc
Social media posts: We can save a lot of time in digital marketing on social media, highlight your business by scheduling posts, manage multiple social media accounts and boost your feeds, posts, and blogs using social media automation. You can now attend to queries on your handles and respond to prospective customers with information without error.
What’s more! Never miss birthdays of your followers and social media friends, you can also send birthday messages to your contact lists.
Computer backups: Always stay safe with all your data backed-up. With automation, you can schedule computer backups automatically. This way you will never forget to backup and lose valuable data. You can also back up the types and volume of inquiry received over a period of time to study how the mood of customers changes in a specific season or festive season.
Error-free operation: The automation process eliminates mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes can be very expensive and can lead to false analytics and poor decision making. You get high precision in your operations.
40% of large businesses automate at least one business process, while 25% of small business owners report using automation. According to MARKETSANDMARKETS, the global digital process automation market is projected to grow from USD 6.77 billion in 2018 to USD 12.61 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2018 to 2023.

Automation is capable of going well beyond to enhance your customers’ experience by performing day by day repetitive undertakings. Automation can widely be utilized for meeting short-term profit demands. It can majorly help companies cut down human asset-related costs: low human mistake, comparatively less inefficient working hours, decreased training costs, negligible odds of hands-on wounds, and so on. But the advantages stretch out past improving financial wellbeing. According to Deloitte, “the adoption of automation in organizations is expected to increase to 72% in the next two years. And the organizations that have already adopted automation expected to significantly increase their investment in automation throughout the following 3 years. If this proceeds at its current level, RPA will have accomplished near-universal adoption within the next 5 years”.
There is more to applications of automation past performing the physical tasks. It’s equipped for handling big data both structured and unstructured data right from its ingestion to developing meaningful intelligent insights for actionable decision-making. Automation can upgrade profitability and improve work processes in all cases at organizations all things considered.
If you are a business owner or decision-maker looking to run business faster and better, automation is the answer, allowing repetitive tasks to be performed with ease. It increases marketing ROI by improving the lead generation process but also enhances customer support. Advanced AI systems are capable of merging the benefits of automation by gathering data and using it to streamline processes and ensure you don’t lose critical data by creating automated backups.

With huge quantities of data generated every day, and sophisticated algorithms fuelling data modeling, we look at the scope of the expanding AI market in North America. In our monthly Feature corner, our Co-Founder and Senior Vice President, Mr. J. S. Sridharan asks a few questions to Mr. Pat Krishnan, a seasoned C Level executive, from Bay Area, California, who has worked with leading organizations with disruptive technologies and has also provided strategic direction and leadership to various organizations in India and the US.
Sridharan – Having worked in AI, cybersecurity, analytics, and various other innovative ideas, please tell us how the pre-COVID and future priorities are changing for organizations in terms of adopting technologies like AI.
Pat Krishnan – AI as one knows is the “mantra” for every organization and every domain such as healthcare, cybersecurity, retail, financial to name a few. I think the market has been growing regardless of the COVID situation as far as AI goes. With COVID-19 and scientific community still trying to understand the nature of this RNA genome, AI and mathematical models come in very handy to provide more insights into this Coronavirus. The models can get very advanced once they decipher the pattern and I personally think that we will be able to predict the future mutations of this SARS COV 2. This is a prediction with some level of certainty that is only possible with AI models.
Sridharan – What are the problem areas you think AI can solve in the coming 3 to 5 years for these organizations?
Pat Krishnan – With COVID 19, new normal is happening and it will only be time before we get adapted to this. That said, Pharma (drug development), healthcare, retail, financial, insurance, real estate, entertainment, and food industries will go through a massive transformation and their reliance on AI and machine learning models will increase monumentally to an extent where vital decisions will be taken using data and technology. Problem areas AI can solve are InSilico drug modeling and profiling, Telemedicine, Disease mgmt such as Diabetes (CGM) and terminal illness, Money movement and payments, Insurance Risk and underwriting, Food deliveries, and Online Retail merchandise (from groceries to apparel and the likes).
Sridharan – With more conversational agents like Alexa and Echo, and while reports state that 70% of the total US smart speaker owners will continue to use an Amazon Echo device, tell us more about the adoption of conversation AI and how conversational AI is seen as the next paradigm shift in the AI technology in the North American market?
Pat Krishnan – I consider the consumer-driven lifestyle type applications such as Alexa, Ok Google is the guinea pig for the Conversational AI technology which is about to invade into enterprises. Increasing working patterns like WFH have pushed the envelope to adopt Conversational AI in call centers and contact centers. According to reports, Conversational AI can save the industry $150 billion by eliminating the drudgery of communication and enhancing the customer experience in leaps which will benefit the business. The next 5 years will see a lot of growth in conversational AI and related technologies in enterprises.
Sridharan – What according to you, are the areas organizations -small and big can supercharge customer engagement with the help of virtual agents and intelligent automation tools?
Pat Krishnan – Telehealth and continuous monitoring use cases, disease management are plum for engaging virtual agents and tools. Where there is a need for continuous engagement with the customer, automation tools will come in handy. The beauty of virtual agents stems from the fact that the back end Ai engine does the heavy lifting converting the customer queries and intent to tangible actions. The day will not be far off when most of the invasive questions are answered by virtual agents themselves.
Sridharan – How do you think organizations can leverage AI for higher levels of stakeholder engagement?
Pat Krishnan – Stakeholders live and die by making decisions that are important for the company be it operational or strategic level. AI is so democratic and objective that it does not differentiate any area of specialization. Where there is data, there possibly could be a need. Stakeholders should engage with AI service providers and work closely to close the gap that exists between science and technology. It will become increasingly necessary for stakeholders to come up to speed on the science aspect of AI which can help implement effective AI systems and platforms in the organization. Operationally the IT organization in the company should get aligned with the stakeholder and service provider.
Sridharan – What do stakeholders need to do to jumpstart their conversational AI journey?
Pat Krishnan – Stakeholders should start engaging with AI vendors and get the problem statement clearly laid out. This cannot happen in a silo and AI vendors should handhold the execs and help refine the problem. This is key to the successful implementation of an AI solution. This calls for stakeholders like the C suite giving enough time to go thru the implementation process which alone will pay rich dividends in the future.
