The promise of automation is the application of technology, programs, robotics or processes to achieve outcomes with minimal human input. Automation makes formerly arduous, time-intensive processes complete in a fraction of the time. The downside to jumping into the deep end can range from architectural mistakes that are expensive to undo, to unintended consequences from executing ill-informed actions. Automation is not an easy fix that happens overnight by deploying some software, rather, automation requires an investment in time and resources in order to maximize its benefits.”]
