IDC - The Future of Work in the Age of Cloud and Low-Code Automation (Featured Article) |
|
Featured Article from Appian, a CIPS Corporate Partner
Low-code tools, together with cloud platforms, are revolutionizing the business automation technology landscape – enabling organizations to address more automation opportunities faster than ever before. However, success is far from guaranteed – even with access to market-leading automation technology.
This IDC Technology Spotlight paper examines how organizations are overcoming barriers to digital transformation by digitizing their operations. It shows how automation strategies are built on two ideas – working with a broad automation technology toolkit that goes beyond simple application of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and broadening participation in automation initiatives – can enable organizations to truly transform.
Read this paper to learn why:
- Organizations must bring digital thinking and technologies right into the heart of their operations.
- RPA by itself is not enough to drive an enterprise automation strategy.
- Low-code Intelligent Process Automation Platforms, powered by globally-available public cloud infrastructure, give organizations the power to work beyond tactical task automation opportunities, and create transformational opportunities.

Video Interviews by Stephen Ibaraki, FCIPS, I.S.P., ITCP
This week, Stephen Ibaraki has an exclusive interview with Moira de Roche and Dr. David Kreps.
Moira de Roche is an independent consultant. She is the Chair of IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) IP3, and a member of the IFIP board. Moira was awarded the IFIP Silver Core in 2016.
Moira worked on the IFIP Ethics Task & Finish Group. This team, using the ACM Code of Ethics as a starting point, drafted a Code that is suitable for use by any IFIP member society. The code has been published electronically and will come out in book form in September 2021.
Dr David Kreps is a trans-disciplinary academic based in the Business Information Systems department of the J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics, National University of Ireland, Galway. Combining philosophy with a background in the arts, cultural theory, and sociology, to address a critical perspective on systems theory, David is a critical philosopher of Information Systems – the trans-disciplinary space where computing, the social, and the nature of our relationship with reality intersect. For decades David has been an 'early adopter', pioneering thinker and commentator, with a fascination for technology and its impact upon society. A web developer since 1995, (making probably the first Arts Centre Website in the UK) he did his PhD thesis on Cyborgism, and has become an expert in Technology Ethics, Web Accessibility, and explorer into the philosophy of Virtuality and Cultural Identity in the Socially Networked society.
David is Chair of the International Federation for Information Processing's (IFIP) Technical Committee 9 on ICT and Society, and a member of the IFIP Board. He was Chair, from 2013 to 2018, of the IFIP WG 9.5 on Virtuality and Society. David is holder of the prestigious IFIP Silver Core Award, for "significant achievements of the recipient that are important from the point of view of the mission and goals of IFIP."
