Digital transformation took a big step forward when AI and Machine Learning went mainstream and offered innovative ways to address business challenges. Many business possibilities that were inconceivable only a few years back are now possible twofold. As the digital revolution takes shape, AI & Automation are at the center and bound to become indispensable, accelerating innovation, scale, and growth in endless ways. AI & Automation technologies have come a long way and are fast becoming the essence, enabling transformation in unpredictable ways.

Aside from boosting productivity and improving operational efficiency, these technologies can help drive profits through the digital transformation initiatives by enabling better use of data, a huge chunk of which is trapped in documents. Information derived from this data can help businesses expand, improve their current products and services, and create innovative strategies. With organizations staring at a massive manual effort, high costs, and lost opportunities due to the lack of relevant information in real-time, AI can be a game-changer and open doors to a wealth of rich insights critical for faster and easier decision making without the need for time-intensive, manual extraction of information from documents.

How can enterprises use AI-based solutions to comprehend a deluge of data trapped in documents to uncover underlying business value? How can they leverage these insights and information to drive effective business outcomes?

The pandemic has made it clear that digital intelligence and automation are the only solutions that can make businesses agile and responsive. Get ready for the new phase of digital transformation with Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core.
