Frequently Asked Questions

Q:How does automation help during a crisis?
Reduces operational costs without quality loss. Enables rapid scaling up and down. Remote work without efficiency loss. Automatic risk monitoring and early warning. Companies with automation recover from crises 2-3x faster than those without.
Q:What if automation isn't working?
Check data quality — it's the cause of 60% of problems. Ensure the process is properly documented. Conduct root cause analysis. Ask users about their issues. Often you need refinement, not replacement: rule tuning, model retraining, new system integration.
Q:How to choose an automation vendor?
Look for industry experience — at least 3-5 completed projects. Check reviews and case studies. Ask for a demo on your data. Pay attention to approach: waterfall vs agile. Ensure the vendor will transfer knowledge to your team, not create dependency.
