Supercharging Productivity Seminar - The Beginning of Automation

Last week, we covered the"[Outcode] Supercharging Productivity" seminar at the Korea Investment Accelerator.

We talked about why our teams need automation, what data automation is that everyone's talking about, and how teams that are using Outcode are increasing their productivity.

• What is data automation?
• Automation is a matter of survival
• How are other teams automating?
• Start automating

What is data automation?

There are so many different definitions of data automation. The Outcode team says it's "making data easy to use and automated for anyone.

Automation is a matter of survival

Have you ever thought, "Data-driven operations and data automation, my team should be doing that..."?

Most outcoders have had this problem.

"Do we really need to automate this now, even though it's working fine the way it is?" "What are the specific benefits of automating this?

Accenture reportsand survey responses from Outcode users have shared that data automation not only saves resources and grows revenue, but also improves business confidence - meaning that data and tasks are handled according to the processes you've created, eliminating mistakes and increasing efficiency.

If it really works as well as it does, why weren't we automating our data?

Every business, whether it's a startup or an SMB, has data. Customer information, payment history, user logins, you name it, it's probably stored in a variety of different ways, and for some reason, automating it all sounds like something that developers have to do, and it's something that's going to take a lot of time and money, and most people just give up.

But the gap between those who automate and those who don't is getting too wide for us to just throw in the towel, and at the other extreme, our business is becoming less likely to survive.  

We encourage you to spend some time with your team to explore what automation needs your team has. Because no matter your industry, no matter your team, you need automation.

Start automating

At this seminar, we had someone say, "I want to start automating, but I don't know where to start," and there's one thing that the Outcode team always emphasizes whenever we get questions like that.

"All automation starts with data."

Think about where your team is storing data and what services or apps they're using.

1. Data storage: Excel, Google Sheets, or a database like MySQL is great, but make sure you know where your team's data is stored.
2. Other services and apps: Take stock of the services you use to do your job. Slack, Google Sheets, Naver Works, KakaoTalk, etc.

Automation starts with thinking about how we can connect our team's data and the services we use.

I hope you'll be able to use the data you've accumulated over the course of your career in a variety of ways, automating processes that were once handled manually, and creating the data automation that's right for your team.
