It seems like there is barely a headline or ad anymore that doesn’t mention AI somewhere in it. If not in the headline, then many times, it is still in the body of the message.
AI may be the most overused and misunderstood technology today. Regardless of your feelings about it, I think we can all agree that it’s here to stay.
Like other new inventions and technologies, we’ll continue to learn how to extract its maximum value as we grow. We just need to use patience and perseverance as this happens – and remember that its greatest value is in speeding up the use of data.
Data has always been a challenge. We started out having little to no data, and now we have an abundance of data at our fingertips.
One of the current challenges is finding effective ways of extracting the data’s value, and AI is extremely helpful in this regard. But an abundance of data doesn’t mean it’s the right data or it’s accurate.
There is still an ongoing need for harvesting good, useful, and timely data.
“Data is like garbage. You’d better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.” ~ Mark Twain
Relying on an AI engine as your information generator can be highly influenced – even flawed – by the human interpretation or personal preferences of the program architect (always remember these engines are programs, designed and built by humans).
The best and most trusted approach is guiding its capture where it occurs when you need it, with little risk or disruption.
This is where HL Group has been positioned for over 25 years and where our mobilePLUS solution lives today. We work with organizations to assist in determining what data you need and then providing a safe, easy, and timely approach for its capture. This requires a combination of technology, software, and human capital to achieve your desired results.
We see AI and similar technologies as extremely useful tools for better utilizing quality data now and in the future.
Our role is working with organizations to ensure they have quality data, and we will continue to expand with similar maturity in mobile and capture technologies like RFID.
Our focus today is providing quality data for Workday, ServiceNow, Sunflower, DPAS, PeopleSoft, and other legacy or third-party host environments. This enables each of them to package it with other valuable data for the best decisions and organizational success.
