Automation will in the coming year become an increasingly mainstream concept for all industries. Driven by trends such as personalization and customer journeys, demands for transparency in companies’ use of data and new technologies. Marketing automation is not a new concept, but many of the things that characterize this area of marketing will in the coming years see a shift towards greater use of customer data and a democratization of new technologies such as machine learning and AI. In the future automation will move on and we will see it play a role between several disciplines. Eikonice is an example of this and we offer simplicity through digital automation in the area between Facility Management, Marketing and Human Resource.

Trend 1: New areas due to corona

The pandemic has brought in constraints in human interaction due to health concerns, which has rocked the foundations of human interaction prior corona. Contactless and touch less mechanisms of consumer and employee interaction will therefore gain more adoption in 2021. Public touchscreens is not anymore a big thing. This trend extends the application of automation technologies to the areas requiring human-to-human contact, which can refine the overall customer experience.

Trend 2: Reduce complexity

Automating yesterday’s problems was yesterday’s mind-set. Automating tomorrow’s growth is today’s future. These words express the background for why automation is going from a focus of efficiency to in a greater extend create simplicity. Automation tend to be discussed in tandem with efficiency, but another dimension need to be added and that’s simplicity. Simplicity in processes, in people’s jobs and in overall workflows for companies. It’s al about reduce complexity.

Trend 3: More orchestration by automation

Now that the lowest-hanging fruit has been harvested on the efficiency tree, it’s time to take a more holistic approach for automation – that’s why the new black in automation will be “Orchestration”. Simply put, orchestration can make IT operation and maintenance more efficient and gain efficiency across different disciplines. It takes automation further – bringing it all together.

We live in a period where technology day by day plays a bigger role in everyday life. Machine learning, AI, robot technology, blockchains, IoT, etc – all areas that are in rapid development and all offering enormous opportunities to all of us. As these technologies become more and more deeply integrated in our everyday lives, the role and visibility of “humanity” will become increasingly important – because it is still individual people, who has the biggest impact on companies, on society and on the world as a whole.

For companies, it will become important to strike the right balance between the employee’s personality and the corporate identity, as we shift from having a technological focus, to a period where technology is taken for granted – and thus the organisations’ focus will be on humanisinge and personalising their presense. Or you could say, that we are heading towards a new human era. Precisely for this reason, the employee portrait will hold more and more value – not just on external digital platforms, but also internally due to the new ways we work and collaborate.
