As artificial intelligence has a significant impact on industries, business leaders strive to adopt this technology immediately to remain competitive. Some want to follow the trends, while others are concerned with losing benefits based on manual processes. They are certainly right to rethink their strategies and make the most of today’s technological progress.
However, every company now needs an AI? I am convinced that the automation of the processes is what matters most.
Figures to think
The facts speak stronger than the words, so let’s look at some figures. According to MCKINSEYAbout 50% of current work activities, representing nearly 15 billions of dollars in world wages, could potentially be automated using existing technology such as robotics or AI. This change could occur by 2055, but given the social, political and economic turbulence, this could occur up to 20 years earlier or later.
Whatever the exact timing, this will happen anyway. So why wait for the request?
Certainly, part of these processes is improved by artificial intelligence. By 2030, the generator could automate as much as 70% of commercial activities In practically all professions. According to a Forbes Advisor Survey64% of companies consider AI as a productivity booster. An impressive 65% of companies Now use intelligent technology in at least one function, and integrate it into two functions has become more and more common – a significant increase compared to just a few years ago.
Seamless recruitment: unlocking efficiency with automation
Let me give you an example of how AI automation can help stimulate recruitment productivity. Each company must hire qualified employees, it is therefore an area that each company must continually improve.
Automated recruitment is one of the key trends as 97% of employers Plan to increase its use. Fifty-four percent of HR specialists have expressed their support for automation. It is quite intriguing because, generally, specialists fear losing their jobs because of technology. However, conscientious professionals have no reason to worry.
Recognizing AI’s impressive capacities in research, analysis and supply, Andersen specialists have designed a solution rich in functionalities to improve the recruitment process. Intelligent algorithms analyze applications and correspond to candidates for labor requirements. The program allows us to conduct technological and non -technical and non -technical technological interviews, evaluating not only skills, but also the tone and behavior of candidates. Finally, he manages personalized job offers and manages the answers to complete the hiring process.
This has already helped us reduce recruitment costs by 40%, reduce the time spent on each task by at least half and improve the quality of work. The product has found applications beyond traditional hiring, with a banking customer using it to assess the quality of communication center communication.
However, you should remember that AI is just a means of automating your workflows. There are other options to consider, such as migration of the cloud or the overhaul of current systems. Even if many think of intelligent technology first, it is not a solution to each problem. In addition, according to EurostatIn 2023, only 8% of EU companies used AI, which could surprise current media.
So AI is necessary for your automation initiatives?
In my opinion, not really, and here is why. The AI only concerns generative capacities – although a large part of the media is centered on this aspect. Although Genai can be incredibly useful for content -related tasks, it does not apply to each process.
In addition, the successful adoption of AI requires particular attention to the precision of the model, the quality of the data, the relevance of the profitability analysis and the Robust ML / LLM operations. In other words, a strategic plan that considers both current needs and future requests is essential. However, as McKinsey points out, many companies still lack such a plan.
Developing a well -thought -out strategy can increase your chances of remaining competitive, with automation – and perhaps AI – the key elements of this approach.
What you really need
An audit of your company data and the IT infrastructure, as well as reliable technological partnerships, is what you need. Many companies find it difficult to assess their current IT infrastructure and their workflow adequately. They often do not notice when the gaps appear, as when the cost of maintaining a team becomes too high. This is common if companies are only counting on internal experts – things can become subjective, which makes it difficult to judge the development speed or the quality of a product correctly.
In addition, traditional development teams and business units working separately are no longer effective. Consequently, they can have different objectives and will not be able to effectively evolve a product. There is also a solution to this problem.
Recognizing the importance of AI and automation for businesses, Andersen participated in the summit of the conversational AI and the customer experience held from November 6 to 7, 2024 in Munich, in Germany, with Olga Korol, director of commercial development Dach in Andersen, delivering a speech there. As one of my colleagues said, “you need a role that can fill this gap – someone who understands both business and computer science. This can be an external expert – a consultant or an architect who is perfectly aware of the two areas. These specialists will carry out data quality audits and identify if your business needs an AI at this stage. “”
Companies in the Dach region are largely looking for new ideas and external perspectives. One of the common requests sent to computer suppliers is an assessment or revision of existing programs. The construction of software from zero is more likely to come from a startup than from a medium -sized company.
Conclusion
Companies wishing to automate their workflows often believe that the process should start with AI. However, you may just have to upgrade your current software for greater efficiency.
The key is to carefully assess your IT infrastructure. External digital transformation experts can suggest the necessary changes. You may need to create your own intelligent solution, such as the recruitment platform mentioned above, or simply move your applications to the cloud. The important thing is to understand exactly what you need right now.
