Valuable IT employees often lose valuable time performing redundant manual tasks, and the best way to utilize their skills better is to adopt RPA for these tasks, leaving them free for more valuable inputs. Repetitive tasks often take employees time and energy from more pressing tasks. Tasks such as form filing, database writing, collection and analysis of statistics, opening mails, etc., could be easily moved to automation. During unprecedented situations during the pandemic when resource shortage was a common problem for most enterprises, such tasks seemed to be wastage of investment for enterprises. Organizations are on a lookout for solutions that can shorten the time required and also enhance the quality of such tasks. One such solution that was widely touted by the industry experts was Robotic Process Automation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is producing a tremendous amount of data. But companies need to make sense of the data and AI is a clear answer to analyze and act on that data to deliver the full potential of IoT. Previously, combining AI and IoT was relatively unthinkable. Now it is an incredibly fast growing trend, often referred to as AIoT. Bill Roberts, Senior Director of Global Process, Sensors and Smart Practice at SAS, joins the Intel on AI podcast to discuss how Intel and SAS participated in a survey to discover how organizations are using AIoT today, who within the company realizes and utilizes the value, and where AIoT will grow in the future.
