Competitive advantage through AI

Here’s the thing about building competitive advantage through process digitalisation.

Many of the current ERP systems are too rigid to keep pace with business change and innovation. A real business problem for companies trying to build competitive advantage and painful to experience first-hand.

Companies need an agile process layer that connects fragmented workflows and optimises it all without multi-year transformation cycles.

RPA was useful. Low code tools were good. Enterprise workflow automation platforms are so incredible expensive that only the select few can be given access. 

Going pure AI in process optimisation, automatisation and integration is an extremely interesting proposition. When done right, AI-driven process development, combined with domain expertise enables companies move incredibly fast and with high quality. Feels like revolution.

By the time a traditional ERP initiative is still being specified or you continue to be shocked about the licencing costs of your workflow platform, a pure AI-driven process digitalisation is already in production, creating dramatic value and accessible to all.

The economics are unlike anything I have seen before. In the best cases, payback times are measured in weeks, even when starting from scratch.

Partners that truly understand your business, AI technology and can work close to you are not expensive. They are close to free.

It will be interesting to see how enterprise product space evolves.
