Nettavisen, Norway: Cognizant’s Nordic Leader for Strategic Development Says Smart Robots will Help Smart People Become More Effective

“The potential for smart software robots—or Intelligent Process Automation (IPA)—is huge and it is highly likely that smart robots for intelligent process automation will, in fact, enhance today’s jobs as well as create completely new careers,” says Fredrik Kallevig. “It is not a matter of simply applying automation to existing processes: it is about building processes for humans, by humans where automation facilitates tasks.” Excerpts:

“Automation will change the employment landscape: some jobs may go, but many new ones will be created, and people will be retrained to learn new skills as they move away from routine work. By implementing a digital workforce of software robots, organizations can ensure that work is done around the clock, eliminate human error and reduce human dependency to save costs and drive revenue.

AI (artificial intelligence) and IPA have the power to transform and drive positive, important advancements for society in various areas, while the Internet of Things (IoT)—with sensors including emerging nanotechnologies coupled with artificial intelligence—is beginning to drive advances in workplace safety.

IPA brings structure coupled with greater efficiency and accuracy to critical business processes and having access to comprehensive customer data allows businesses—and the robotic machines they employ—to better analyze this valuable information and spot patterns and trends.

Ultimately, it is the data generated by IPA that is the real prize, for businesses and workers alike.  With advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data, a company’s ability to predict behavior is enhanced rather than reacting to rapidly changing demands and expectations.

Businesses that are already embracing these new technologies are capturing more data, improving processes, and generally empowering workers to be more effective at their jobs.

Sophisticated automation technologies are here to stay. And like a good science fiction movie, whether you like it or not, automation is coming soon—to a process near you.”
