The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. — Bill Gates
Since Bill Gates uttered the words above, the importance automation has only grown bigger. Individuals need time to think about creative ideas and should not be wasting their time on tedious and repetative tasks.
Integrating automated processes is not a one-time project but a shift in methodology. The initial cost of automation is offset by continuous cost savings, allowing staff to concentrate on achieving business goals.
For technical teams, automating delivery using CI/CD tools often yields immediate benefits. Applications can be deployed reliably and efficiently through scripts rather than manual effort by developers. This enables engineers to focus on introducing new features into production.
On the business front, numerous opportunities exist to harness automation. Well-documented processes can often be executed by scripts. We offer the expertise to automate repetitive tasks, which can be made accessible through self-service interfaces such as web pages, chatbots, or other tools.
