Opening your email inbox may not seem like a particularly revolutionary action, but if you think about it, it is a gesture that has radically changed the world of work over the last thirty years. However, according to the latest TechFuture report, 68% of companies are revisiting their internal processes thanks to the latest technological innovations, making repetitive and banal tasks, such as managing emails, completely automated.

Companies are increasingly looking at how emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and machine learning, can make their internal processes more efficient. “The goal is to free up human talent from repetitive, boring tasks, freeing employees to focus on more creative and strategic tasks,” says Linda Peterson, director of innovation at TechFuture.

Recent innovations include intelligent chatbots that can handle customer inquiries quickly and efficiently, and AI algorithms that can predict market trends based on huge amounts of data.

A recent study by TechInsights found that 80% of users view internal process automation positively, especially in terms of speed and efficiency. Companies are investing heavily in these technologies, leading to exponential growth in the sector.

But the innovations don’t stop there. “We’re working on machine learning algorithms that can predict and prevent problems before they happen,” Peterson says. “Imagine having a system that can predict when a server is going to crash and fix the problem before it impacts the operations of the company.”

It is clear that these changes will have a substantial impact on how companies operate. Workers will need to acquire new skills to keep pace with technological innovations, and companies will need to invest in training their employees.

With AI and automation set to become even more pervasive, there are questions about the future of human work. But if one thing is certain, it is that the internal processes of companies in 2025 will be very different from those of today.

Are you ready to embrace the new era of automation? Remember, innovation waits for no one.
