Aquima: Repeated Savings

One of the more unsung features of Aquima is how through its technology and innovation it saves you money at every level. We're not just talking about the purchase cost- but all costs.

Starting from the top you have the initial purchase and implementation costs which are quite pain free. Quick, easy, incredibly priced and returning several-fold value, you've already saved quite a lot.
But wait- there's more!
You need someone to run this system, right? Someone with experience and a long history in IT? Wrong. You could run this system yourself, yes, you- a business person. A managing director, shop floor worker, stock taker etc. Just about anyone and everyone can use Aquima.
So, you've saved costs on implementation and on training- there can't be many more savings, right? Wrong again. Aquima just keeps on giving.
After you've designed your new and quite fantastic model you have to implement it...but that means costs, hassle, fuss and more. Not with Aquima! You can implement the system yourself quickly and easily and for absolutely no cost. What about when I want to change my prices? Change my model? Thanks to Aquima's revolutionary version management system you can run as many versions of the model you want, at once, with no extra cost.

As for changing your model, building a new one, making a new document or application- how much do they cost? Here's a hint: absolutely nothing.

We could continue for hours highlighting just where Aquima saves you money, how much and how much you're going to idolise that intelligent little system.
But for your sake and mine- have some easy to digest bullet points:

• Multiple implementation and upgrade costs are a thing of the past. Create, recreate, deploy, redeploy, change versions all for no extra charge.
• Need a little more from your BPM system? Aquima comes with a fully-fledged document and report creator saving you the money (and time) of buying a second system.
• Worried about having to transport information from office to office? No need. Aquima is fully conversant in the neat thing we call Cloud Computing. Access information anytime, anywhere and for- you guessed it- no extra cost.

These are but a few of the many benefits in cost cutting that Aquima delivers.
There's so much to this system it's incredible- you can create, innovate and deliver to the highest levels and still have time left over to do your corporate work, too.

Thank you for reading, as always!
We hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as we love to talk about the many great things about Aquima that you could take advantage of.

Artificial Intelligence.

Described as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines- just what is artificial intelligence and how does it affect your organisation? Well, if you're a modern organisation and you've been using some of the newer technology available you're probably already feeling the effects of it.

Brief overview of the technology.
Artificial intelligence is (in very basic terms) giving machines and technology a full set of tools with which it can solve problems, think for itself and essentially work without any given user input. More than this, it can solve problems to a super human level and react in real time as a person would.
To give a relatively simple example and one that everyone should be familiar with: when you insert a new plug and play device into a USB port of a computer running a Windows operating system it will look for new drivers, download them and install them. It does this without the information on the hard disc (as in, it doesn't have all the drivers on the main drive) and it does it without being told where to look. It thinks, identifies the hardware and then figures out where it would downloaded from.

An exciting new development!
In business terms, it's a bit more complicated but just as easy to explain for what we're trying to say today. Any kind of automated stock system, self-sufficient production line or even business process management software suite displays artificial intelligence.
In the case of a business process management software suite, it displays a form of computerised intelligence in that it is given the basic data required for a situation and then calculates it itself. Using its own intelligence in the form of algorithims, calculations and parameters. Although this can be limited and in severely complex situations the systems may simply not respond, as they cannot process any efficient or logical conclusion.
But this is why they are valued by many modern organisations- they revolutionise how you can interpret data and turn it into useful information.

Thereby it allows the user to set their own parameters, their own needs and their own expectations to which the system is then able to work out the solution. Rather than simply sorting the information or recompiling it.
This is also a rising concern of many of just how far these computerised systems will advance and what kind of an impact it can have. Though, there are benificial situations in which super human abilities and non-living organisms are required. In the case of working with dangerous chemicals, toxic fumes or potentially fatal situations for instance. Instead of asking someone to brave the potential risks, a system with artitifical intelligence can sort it out safely and easily.
In scientific terms it's an exciting development of technology in a way we had previously never thought possible.

A few setbacks/drawbacks.
Artificial intelligence can be universally useful for all kinds of organisations, although it is worth taking into account that the level of effectiveness is linked to the organisations themselves.
If you don't have a lot of processes, systems to implement or lots of information to deal with then an artifical intelligence system may not be too effective for you. As you'd simply be asking something of incredible potential to do menial tasks, which would be a (costly) waste.

That's all for now on this brief introduction to the exciting world of artificial intelligence. Thank you for your time!
