To be or not to be At the cutting edge


Given the inevitability and pervasiveness of AI/IA, you don't have any choice but to embrace it wholeheartedly.



Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and their intersection, Intelligent Automation (IA), are game changing technologies that will define our future.

Software robots can execute complex instructions and crunch terabytes of data with speed and accuracy that no human can match. Further, modern AI-fuelled systems have very sophisticated, human-like skills - the ability to self-learn (cognitive), the ability to self-regulate (autonomic), the ability to connect the dots (creative). These capabilities are so transformative that they will fundamentally alter how everything is made, sold and consumed in the future.

The productivity gains from AI can be as big as those achieved through the biggest technological advances in history - great inventions in energy (steam engine, electricity), transportation (cars, trains, aeroplanes), industrial machinery (printing press, internal combustion engine), and ICT (telephone, computer, internet, mobile).

No industry is immune to the tectonic changes being unleashed by AI/IA. You might be a bank. Or an insurance company. A retailer. A utility. A telco. A healthcare provider. A logistics company. A manufacturing firm. An FMCG company. A media house. An educational institution. A government entity. Cognitive and autonomic systems are already creating significant impact across industries, and what we have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.

The only question is whether you will be at the bleeding edge now or suffer a bloodbath later. No company is in a safe harbour. AI & robotic automation will fundamentally alter your current reality, whether you like it or not. It is like being on a treadmill - you have to keep running just to stay where you are. Innovate or perish. What will you do?

This is in fact the easiest strategic dilemma ever faced by corporate executives & boardrooms. Given the inevitability and pervasiveness of AI/IA, you don't have any choice but to embrace it wholeheartedly, and hope that you are smarter and more agile than your competition in implementing it.

The meek shall not inherit the earth


What can AI/RPA/IA (and Acronotics) do for you?



Future-proof your business

Future-proof your business from disruptive business models & new entrants. AI, robotic automation & other technologies such as Blockchain & IoT can be combined to completely re-imagine future-state business models. Not only your competitors, but many upstarts (startups) are also trying to eat your lunch. You have to stay in the game to have a shot at winning, and if the rules of the game are changing, so must you. Ideally, of course, you should be the one changing the rules.


Put your growth on steroids

Use AI & automation to deliver a mind-blowing user experience to your clients. Super-customise your products/ services by gaining a deeper understanding of individual clients' needs & motivations. Knock your clients' socks off with the quality and speed of your service & delivery. The result - higher share of wallet (more revenue per client) & higher share of market (more clients). What's not to like?


Improve your productivity

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and its cognitive cousin Intelligent Automation (IA) can boost your productivity/ operational efficiency by 30-50% and deliver a corresponding reduction in cost. The technology has matured and can handle complex enterprise-wide process automation. RPA implementation is a lot more agile compared to other approaches to enterprise IT transformation (such as BPM) and can start delivering results in weeks, not years.
