Mark Collins, Executive Vice President of Technology at Intechrum, joins AI InterConnect to explain how businesses can use AI automation without falling into the trap of adopting AI simply because everyone else is doing it.
Mark shares a practical approach to workflow automation, AI implementation, and business process improvement: start with the business problem, identify repetitive work, calculate the potential ROI, and only then decide whether AI is the right solution.
We discuss how AI is making targeted automation accessible to smaller businesses, how companies can augment employees rather than simply replace them, the realities of government technology projects, and why a $5,000 automation project can sometimes deliver significant productivity gains.
