Intelligent Automation: Bridging the Gap between Business and Academia

Editat de Marie Myers, Carol Brace, Lila Carden
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2023
Since prehistoric times, humans have invented ways to simplify daily activities to improve productivity. The most recent milestone in this journey is robotic process automation (RPA), helping to build software robots that can be leveraged to automate mundane and repetitive tasks that can be labor-intensive and prone to errors. In recent years, RPA has been integrated with emerging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to create what is referred to as intelligent automation (IA), emulating human actions and decision-making abilities. This book addresses the critical questions about the rise, usage, and future of IA practices.
This book is structured by general personas considered as its primary target audience, ranging from:
  • Early-stage practitioners seeking to learn effective management of IA programs
  • Established IA practitioners seeking to drive maturity and scale
  • Business leaders seeking to understand how to drive business value using IA
  • Practitioners or academicians seeking to collaborate
This book is strongly recommended for practitioners seeking to plan, implement, and scale IA practices in their organization and for researchers and students who intend to study strategy, implementation, and management of IA practice to accelerate the digital transformation agenda.

"With automation being such a critical and transformative component of the future of business, this book could not have come at a better time. There's a fundamental shortage of talent of those who deeply understand automation capabilities and how to appropriately apply them to business solutions. This book is a tremendous resource for anyone who is looking to upskill, reskill, or simply learn more about intelligent automation."

"I’ve been in the intelligent automation space for almost 6 years and have had the opportunity to work with many of the Fortune 500. We’ve partnered with them to operationalize large scale intelligent automation programs that deliver hard dollars back to their balance sheet and transformed their business processes for the future of work.
The release of this book is very timely, many organizations struggle with successfully scaling their IA programs. With the acceleration of AI, this will only become more complex and organizations who have an automation first mindset will set themselves apart from their competition. This is why bridging the gap between business and academia is crucial in ensuring the future talent of work supports this demand."

This book bridges theory with real examples to help practitioners plan their organization’s IA strategy."
Emilie Ly, Senior Director, BPM & RPA, VMware
