Identifying Automation Potential & Selecting the Right Approach
Identifying Automation Potential & Selecting the Right Approach
When an organization identifies a business problem or opportunity to improve its current operations using AI technologies, it can be challenging to know how to proceed. The uncertainty can stem from not knowing how to define the use case(s) for effective use of data-driven technology, or how to choose the optimal AI approach that will provide the best Return on Investment (ROI). Answering these key questions can help the organization complement the related business case calculations and establish a roadmap towards an AI-supported way of working.
