Sage AP Automation Ain’t the Scary Kind of Automation – It Really Helps
Studies show that more than 70% of Americans are afraid automation is going to either take over the world or steal their jobs, but this statistic is misleading. In fact people worry that robots will steal their jobs.
Okay, we’re willing to consider that robots might be evil, but we think it’s unlikely because robots are really dumb. Seriously, have you seen this robot trying to put down a box? (Ouch.) However, The Matrix, the Terminator movies, and pretty much every other robot dystopia movie ever says that robots are going to take over the world… so who are we to argue?
However, robots are not synonymous with automation. Automation is an entirely different thing – and your AP department is going to love automation.

Let’s Talk About Automation
The fact that most people equate automation with robots is completely natural, considering the endless news articles that conflate the two, but to understand the difference, we should clearly define automation.
Definition: Automation helps you perform mind-numbing, repetitive processes and systems automatically.
In manufacturing, this repetitive task performance is often done by a robot because they’re better at thoughtless physical activities like placing products on a conveyor belt. Humans get bored with these activities and, naturally, their minds wander. Robots minds never wander because robots don’t have minds.
In jobs where “physical” activities consist of clicking a mouse button and most of the actual work is done with careful thought and attention, automation typically comes in the form of an application that helps you sort through dull, repetitive organizational tasks, such as data entry and invoice reconciliation.
Your Accounts Payable department is filled with boring organizational tasks like these, and they take up a lot of time. Too much time, in fact. (Just ask your AP department if you don’t believe us.)
