Intelligent Automation: Transformation in a Time of Uncertainty

Companies large and small are faced with an uncertain economy brought about by rising prices, higher wages and fears of shrinking growth rates. This Bloomberg Intelligent Automation Roadshow takes a deep dive into the ways in which organizations can not only offset economic pressures but thrive by implementing intelligent automation systems that enhance operational efficiencies and stakeholder value.

Most organizations know that automation is critical to their long-term success. Much of their early investment has been in digital solutions that allow workers to accomplish more with less. What’s next? A higher level of automation orchestrated across both business lines and IT that integrates with existing systems and cultures to provide intelligent workflows. The result: Scalable architectures, improved worker productivity and more resilient systems.

The keys to success:

  • Gaining the insights required to launch automation projects with demonstrable ROI
  • Using tools to analyze processes and bottlenecks so that new projects can be successfully defined, implemented, and scaled
  • Treating automated applications as the lifeblood of a business and proactively monitoring and adjusting the requisite resources required
  • Using technology to integrate with existing systems and build workforces of engaged people productively focused on work that truly matters

4:40 PM EDT – Panel Discussion: Automation that Packs a Punch

Intelligent automation is critical to an organization’s long-term success, but early efforts too often focused on narrow processes that were easy to automate. Now, executives are looking for bigger and more demonstrable outcomes. In this discussion, business and IT executives will explain how to create high-value projects that work—and how to avoid those that don’t.

5:05 PM EDT – IBM Sponsor Spotlight: Think Like a Chief Automation Officer to Drive Innovation and Productivity with Augmented Intelligence

Employees use an average of 13 apps, 30 times per day and stored data is growing at an unconsumable pace – 300% by the year 2025. Automation alone isn’t enough to improve creativity, productivity, drive innovation, and help in the decision-making process.

How do we move from how much we work to how well we work with the help of intelligent automation?

Join IBM’s Parul Mishra, Vice President of Product Management for Watson Orchestrate, Art Amador, Co-Founder and COO at EquBot, and David Odenath, Global Head of Quantitative Investment Strategies and Solutions at HSBC, to discuss how the latest advances in intelligent automation, digital labor, and augmented intelligence are providing easy, conversational access to the information employees need to be, and feel, creative and productive.
