The greatest challenge is to identify where AI will have the maximum impact and reap the greatest benefits; what type of AI initiatives the business should be undertaking; and how to implement Smart Automation as a step towards becoming an Intelligent Enterprise. Applications of AI cover a wide range of functional areas, so organizations must decide where AI will have the biggest impact. This will typically be in value added business areas: for example, in retail organizations it will be the marketing and sales function; in advanced manufacturing it will be in operations. Organizations with a “cloud first” strategy have a head start with AI. Deploying ERP on the cloud and cloud-ERPs is an essential requirement in the transformation towards a digital Intelligent Enterprise. These organizations can deploy and leverage multiple technologies: the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Chatbots, Predictive Maintenance, Blockchain and Big Data.
