Artificial Intelligence and Automation — The New Pillars of Innovation

At the most basic level, innovation focuses on doing things better, faster, and more efficiently than before. Few technologies promote these improvements better than artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, we believe that AI needs to be at the foundation of any technological innovation initiative, as does automation.

Alone, either of these solutions has the propensity to enhance your business and its day-to-day processes. When you combine them, you can achieve lasting change that completely revolutionizes your organization from top to bottom. Here’s a glimpse into how Upstart 13 uses both AI and automation to meet the needs of customers like you.

Tailoring AI to Your Business Needs

Data is at the heart of all you do. Whether you offer services, operate in the healthcare space, or sell consumer goods, data helps you meet audiences on their terms and deliver personalized, engaging experiences. For years, organizations have been collecting an abundance of data. However, most of it has gone unused due to analytics limitations.

With the use of artificial intelligence, you can finally tap into all of your data. Advanced algorithms can analyze huge sets of information, interpret it, and provide actionable insights that you can use to guide decision-making.

Artificial intelligence removes the guesswork from running your business. Instead of relying on uncertainties and hunches, you can know that you are making the best move for your company.

Upstart 13 explores practical and impactful ways to weave AI into your day-to-day workflow. We prioritize the most valuable opportunities and build out our initiative so you can keep pace in today’s AI-centric environment.

Achieving Efficiency Gains Through Automation

At Upstart 13, we view technologies like AI and machine learning models as tools for your team. One of the best uses for these tools is automation.

Through automation, you can alleviate the workload on your core staff and allow them to focus on more valuable and dynamic tasks. You want your best and brightest team members to use their talents. Automation makes that possible.

From an organizational perspective, automating your most tedious and redundant workflows can translate to huge cost savings and better employee morale. In turn, these benefits will set the stage for other innovations, including more product research, investments in machinery or equipment, and staff training.

Upstart 13’s Strategic Innovation Initiatives

When Upstart 13 partners with an organization to achieve meaningful transformation, we will:

Identify the Areas of Greatest Need

Throughout the centuries, inventors and out-of-the-box thinkers have used “need” as fuel for their creativity. They started with a problem that needed to be solved and then applied their talents to fill that void. Upstart 13 applies this same approach to supporting your company’s innovation initiatives.

Whether you already have a clearly defined need or simply want to make your business better through technology, our team helps you refine your ideas. We’ll identify specific technological solutions that will make a direct and significant impact on your operations.

Define Project Goals

Next, it’s time to define project goals. Regardless of what type of initiative you are embarking on, it’s vital that you set clear goals, which are:

- Measurable
- Realistic
- Relevant
- Time-Bound

Be specific, spelling out what you hope to achieve, what will count as a win (i.e., a 10% reduction in labor costs), and how long you have to complete it. We will work with your team to set realistic and attainable milestones that lay the foundation for a successful outcome.

Mobilize Your Team

Upstart 13 is committed to building software that people love. To do that effectively, we get your team involved in the process early and often. Employees don’t like being taken by surprise, especially when they are making major changes that will impact their day-to-day lives.

We don’t simply loop them in — we gather their feedback in order to obtain a holistic view of the problem facing your business. When everyone’s on the same page, the end result is better user adoption and a streamlined transition.

Drive Forward With Purpose

Once the project gets underway, Upstart 13 pushes on with focus and tenacity, ensuring that we meet key milestones and keep your project on budget. Most importantly, we use pre-planned check-ins to ensure that the deliverable aligns with your original goals and needs.

At Upstart 13, we are constantly pushing the limits of what’s possible, which involves using the most cutting-edge technologies and processes. Our purposeful approach yields powerful results that make an immediate impact while also supporting your long-term growth trajectory.

Test and Optimize

Extensive testing and optimization allow us to fine-tune deliverables to maximize their reach and impact. This is especially important when dealing with technologies such as AI and machine learning, as they are evolving at a lightning-fast pace.

Upstart 13 also offers ongoing support services designed to help customers maintain their technological advantage. We explore additional use cases for existing technologies and identify ways to broaden the gap between you and the competition. After all, you can never be too far ahead of the companies trying to encroach upon your market share.
