Knock Knock…… I am the BOT………!!

What is BOT?

BOTS are Artificial Intelligence Platform is a rich set of cognitive computing services, they provide value via its digital agents, predictive analysis, daily operations process automation, visual computing applications via its smart computing systems techniques over Cloud & Mobile platforms.

A piece of code can act like a human brain to run 24x7x365 days complex operations under no restriction, it also eliminates complex issue in People Management, Governance, compliance, regulatory, safety, security, etc. areas.

Cost & Time Effective Solution:

Many BOTS platforms are available in market place over “SaaS – Software as a Service” platforms. Any business operations organization can avail them over Corporate Credit card in almost no time, deploy them as fast as 24 Hrs. in production to start serving customers via Business process automation (BPA) and Application Robotics Automation (ARA).

Increased Competitiveness:

One of the largest obstacles to success facing businesses today, regardless of size, is controlling labor costs; for many, the cost of labor is second only to the cost of real estate. If a company can maintain consistent labor costs while simultaneously increasing productivity, it will be far more competitive and BOTS makes that possible. It’s features like Consumer analysis, Proactive customer interaction, error free task, real time predictive analysis helps to improve customer satisfaction with no human presence. BOTS are proliferating any business faster than human.

Now, only different is BOTS are going to perform some functions in your “Professional Life” that’s your JOB…………!
