With 15 years in deploying business automation technology, OpenSky has the breadth of experience to ensure you choose the platform that delivers for your organisation. Process automation is the key component of digital transformation, however there are different approaches depending on the nature of the automation required.
In OpenSky’s Automate to Compete eBook, Michael Cronin Managing Director at OpenSky writes,
“Making the wrong tool choice results in higher cost and lower success rates.”
Many IT Solutions companies only provide expertise in one automation area, thereby often forcing the client, to use this to automate no matter the context of your process requirements. This results in increased costs, less business outcomes achieved and a decrease in productivity due to e.g. the end solution being overly complex.
A systematic approach to adopting automation can make the transition more effective and less disruptive to business operations. The key initial steps are crucial to determine the kind of automation needed to safeguard existing systems & automations and ensure a smooth transition. If there are multiple legacy systems in place already, then finding the right automation partner with expertise in identifying and defining the automation you need and planning development with minimal business disruption, will be paramount.
