Some time ago, my attention was drawn to an article in Helsingin Sanomat about the efficiency of different countries’ national economies and their ability to produce value for the national economy. The article showed that Finland’s ability to increase efficiency and grow its national economy has been lost for over 10 years. The fact stops me, at least.
I am not an economics expert. To put it simply, productivity increases when you can produce the same output in less time or you can cut down on the materials/costs needed to produce it. In other words, more with less.
Let the shoemaker keep his last, they say. So what could ICT / information management do to improve efficiency?
It is a pleasure to introduce Workato Genie! This artificial intelligence-based automation tool is revolutionizing the way companies integrate their applications. By solving complex integration challenges and automating repetitive tasks, Workato Genie enables teams to work more efficiently and accurately. Thanks to real-time snapshots and streamlined collaboration, organizations can scale their operations effortlessly and save costs.
In this article, you will find information about what Workato Genie is, the business challenges it solves, the benefits it offers to operations, and a few practical examples of areas where organizations can utilize Workato Genie.
Workato Genie leverages artificial intelligence to deliver intelligent automation solutions and seamlessly connect different applications, enabling businesses to create automated workflows without extensive coding knowledge, making it accessible to users of all technical levels.
Workato Genie helps businesses and services solve the following challenges:
1. Complex integration needs: Many organizations struggle with complex integrations across multiple applications and systems. Workato Genie simplifies this process and enables effortless integration.
