The development of computer technologies has been on an acceleration curve since the 1960s.
Today are things possible that no one could have imagined 50 years ago.
It is now possible to replace some human activities with so-called software robots. The robots can also make decisions.
The idea is not new. What new is, are the technologies and their easy accessibility. There are extensive software libraries and cloud services that make this possible.
The added value for companies:
- Increased productivity by optimizing business processes
- Personnel cost savings
- Flexibility and scalability
- The know-how remains, when an employee leaves the company
- Smaller training effort for new employees
- Minimizing errors
- Support in taking decision through machine learning and artificial intelligence
