Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between business intelligence and automation?
Business intelligence turns data into information people use to decide. Automation removes the manual steps in a process. They are often delivered together, because the reporting usually reveals the repetitive work worth automating.
What kinds of work can realistically be automated?
Routine, high-volume steps with a clear input and output: document handling, data entry, report production, approval routing. Work requiring judgement is usually assisted rather than replaced, with a person confirming the result.
Will this replace people’s jobs?
The usual outcome is that repetitive steps move off people’s desks, not that roles disappear. What that means in your organisation is a decision for you, and it is worth deciding before the work starts rather than after.
Does it work with our existing reporting tools?
Usually. Integration with the systems you already run is part of the scope, and what is possible depends on what those systems expose. That is checked during the assessment rather than assumed.
How do we know it is working?
Reporting is set up alongside the automation so you can see volumes handled, exceptions raised and where work still needs a person. Without that you cannot tell the difference between a system running well and one quietly failing.
