The recent \u201cIntegrate Your Technology Stack & Embrace Automation Mindset\u201d webinar, co-organised by PS Global Consulting and Workato, saw industry experts discuss integration, automation, and how generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is transforming businesses. <\/p>\n\n

In his opening remarks, PS Global Consulting director William Chaylis addressed the issue of SaaS sprawl, where organisations use various software to address different pain points, and how Workato\u2019s integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution could be a game changer.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt is quite common for some customers to have more than 10 systems to operate. These could be a cloud ERP, a payroll system, a procurement system, or your e-commerce platform,\u201d said William.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are seeing more and more companies using different applications and thinking about how they can connect them.\nAnd that is Workato\u2019s strength.\nWorkato enables you to connect various systems and multiple data sources for data enrichment processes. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWorkato has been named the best in Gartner\u2019s Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) Magic Quadrant for six consecutive years and market.\nThat\u2019s a testament to how solid and committed Workato is to developing this powerful product and helping transform your business. <\/p>\n\n

The Work Automation Index by Workato sheds light on the proliferation of Gen AI and its use by organisations worldwide.\nWilliam uncovered exciting nuggets of information from the Work Automation Index. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are witnessing a 500% increase in Gen AI endpoints even though spending associated with Gen AI amounts to less than 1% of enterprise spending. We are also seeing a 400% growth in processes with Gen AI,\u201d added William.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou may have already seen these trends in our day-to-day life. You have seen emails and felt, \u2018Hey, this could have been written by a real person\u2019, but it is written by AI. People are using AI to help catapult their revenue operations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, PS Global Consulting\u2019s System Integration Consultant, Joseph Yeo, shared his inputs based on real-life instances.\nHe covered API management, where to start in your integration and automation journey, and a customer success story. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cOne of Workato\u2019s strengths is API management.\nWorkato workflows can act as API endpoints for other applications to call on.\nThat means that there may not be a need for an organisation to have API specialists to build APIs anymore, \u201c said Joseph. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou can utilise Workato’s workflows to build API with little, to no codes required, and you’ll be able to manage all these different APIs within the single the single Workato platform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The need for integration may be pressing for many organisations, yet enabling automation conjures fearful thoughts.\nAutomation and AI often seem mystical to many.\nHowever, with technological progress, organisations like Workato have enabled the simple initiation of automation and AI into your business processes with a few simple steps. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cOne of the first questions a user might have is, \u2018Where do I start\u2019? And the tip that we give is always start from what you\u2019re familiar with, which is your existing business processes. For example, your finance team spends multiple days every month compiling Excel data. Or perhaps you have a few full-time employees manually updating their tickets. Now, these are all potential workflows that could be automated using Workato,\u201d added Joseph.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cUsually, we will see companies just starting their digitization journey look out for areas they can optimise. And looking at existing workflows is a good starting point to see if there are any opportunities for automation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The perfect embodiment of how good a product is best reflected by its users. The Closet Lover<\/a>, a Singapore-based fashion retail outlet, is an organisation that has benefitted significantly from Workato, thanks in no small part to its choosing of PS Global Consulting as the implementation partner.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Closet Lover had several point-to-point technical automations that were consistently breaking down. Due to that, transactional data was being lost as their demand and sales grew. A lot of manual intervention was required to fix this issue,\u201d said Joseph.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs Workato\u2019s implementation partner, we helped replace The Closet Lover\u2019s existing integrations with Workato integrations, which, in turn, solved their scaling issue. A good thing is they also identified several new workflows that would make things easier for them. So, you know, they came in with a problem, and they went out with not only a solution for their problem but a solution for other issues as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The event concluded following a question and answer session where the floor was opened up for participants to clear their doubts.\nThe speakers also offered PS Global Consulting\u2019s preliminary IT assessments to participants who wanted to know more about how their organisation could benefit from Workato. <\/p>\n\n
