How to get started in automation

Welcome to Enabling Automation! The third episode of this podcast series is "How to get started in automation". Join our season 1 host, Simon Drexler, as he discusses with special guest, Ryan Tavares.

What are the steps of the automation journey? When thinking about automation and your automation journey, it is important to keep your long term goals in mind. Where you want to end up and where you are today could be a big jump. Keeping a vision of the end goal in mind will guide the business process forward. Does it make sense to build the automation piece by piece and scale up your business? The key is to keep in mind that the plan can change. Work on your plan, refine your plan, but keep it in line with where the direction of your organization is heading and how you can meet the demand of the market with the automation tool in the most effective and efficient way.
