The idea of what is automatable is changing by the day, and everything that is automatable in an enterprise will get automated, says Sateesh Seetharamiah, CEO of EdgeVerve Systems, the products and platforms subsidiary of Infosys. Edited excerpts:
Q. What are some of the biggest problems that you solve for your enterprise customers?
We have three digital platforms: AssistEdge for intelligent automation, XtractEdge for document digitisation and a supply chain platform space called TradeEdge. More than 400 Global-2000 customers are using them today. Around 70 to 80 percent of the data in enterprises is still unstructured. There is also data that’s not codified, which is how humans really interface and work with systems.
Further, businesses have suppliers and distributors, upstream and downstream. There is also this whole issue of having different languages communicating that data. We help them discover and automate several processes, digitise and manage, move from unstructured data to structured data and also connect with their value chain partners. This becomes the foundation for all other insights and value from the data.
Q. Today, increasingly, this intelligence is coming from an AI (artificial intelligence) program. What is the significance of this difference? What’s the big picture here?
