Myth Busters – Tackling misconceptions about process automation
Welcome to our Myth Buster Series! We are here to debunk misconceptions about automation and highlight its potential for businesses of all sizes. Contrary to the myth that automation is expensive, small businesses can easily cover the cost with the expenses they already incur. Automating tasks like data entry and contract handling frees up time for value-added activities, leading to improved productivity, customer service, and cost savings. Moreover, automation is an ongoing process that requires monitoring and updates to keep up with evolving business needs.
Another myth we will tackle is the fear that automation will make jobs redundant. Automation empowers employees to focus on critical areas and take on more complex responsibilities, boosting productivity and profitability. It does not necessarily eliminate job roles but creates new opportunities for growth. It is worth noting that automation is based on programmed logic and requires human expertise for updates and issue resolution.
PwC’s 26th Annual CEO Survey revealed 84% of New Zealand business leaders are investing in automating processes and systems over the next year.
