We’re in the final quarter, and you’re likely pushing your teams to make a winning play to achieve your goals for the year. This could mean finishing an internal process-improvement project, enhancing a customer-facing platform, or incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) with automation to augment your workforce and supercharge your current solution stack.

In a recent survey conducted by ABBYY, 51 percent of IT leaders said intelligent automation helped them deliver products and services to customers faster within the past year.

We know there has been a lot of hype with AI this year, in particular with generative AI. Our Senior Director of AI Strategy, Maxime Vermeir, is debuting a new ABBYY podcast this month, The AI-Driven Enterprise, to explore this topic in depth . In the first edition, he explains large language models (LLMs) and how generative AI depends on intelligent document processing to deliver accurate information. In future episodes, he’ll explore the technical and business impacts of AI and discuss how intelligent automation can be game-changing for employee efficiency and productivity, make customer engagement more personalized and intentional, and accelerate time-to-value and revenue.

To further empower enterprise leaders with game-changing strategies, ABBYY held Intelligent Automation Month during September. Our goal was (and always is) to help you put your information to work and better understand the differences between the hype, reality, and possibilities of AI. We gathered experts who are in the trenches to share how intelligent automation can make game-changing improvements for customers and the business. You can find recaps in this edition of The Intelligent Enterprise, but I encourage you to watch the sessions on-demand:
