Artificial intelligence can create meaningful opportunities for businesses, but adding AI simply because it’s available isn’t a strategy.

Elaine helps businesses evaluate where AI and automation can create real value, from reducing repetitive work to improving how information is processed and used. Recommendations consider the people involved, available data, security, cost, risk and expected return.

Before choosing an AI platform or automating a process, Elaine looks at what the business is trying to accomplish.

That means understanding the current workflow, identifying repetitive or inefficient steps and determining whether AI, traditional automation, software improvements or a simpler process change is the best answer.

AI and automation projects can range from small workflow improvements to more sophisticated solutions involving business data and existing systems.
