Technological advancement in the automation landscape makes it more imperative than ever for businesses to leverage these tools to maintain a competitive edge.

Dimitri Denissiouk, Managing Director, IBA South Africa.

The question, asks Dimitri Denissiouk, Managing Director at IBA South Africa, is how can organisations streamline processes, unlock new opportunities and ensure their business remains relevant in the digital accelerating world? Moreover, can this be done without stretching resources thin or hurting the bottom line?

Automation is also dramatically improving business processes in enterprise resource planning systems, he adds. A good example here is how a manufacturer may use its ERP system to automate inventory management and streamline supply chain operations. These strategic steps can help reduce costs and cut down the time between orders and fulfilment, while further improving customer satisfaction and operational agility, when carefully leveraged.

When undertaking an automation transformation journey, it's important to analyse and strategically evaluate your position and the processes most apt for automation. Companies should also remember that there is no need to make sweeping changes all at once, states Denissiouk. When resources are limited, it is necessary to decide what to automate first, by assessing risks and leveraging pilot programmes to your advantage. Without planning and the right expertise, an array of pitfalls can undermine the success of automation projects and digital transformation initiatives.

It's important to consult with experts who can assist your organisation with the best-suited automation technologies, continues Denissiouk. Many small and mid-sized enterprises don't have the in-house staff necessary for implementing complex automation solutions. Therefore, filling the gap with consultants and fractional IT support can help you and your IT team with a successful deployment.
