Companies are currently shifting from traditional approach to technology-driven methods in order to remain afloat and countenance the present challenges. Covid-19 crisis made it imperative for most businesses across the globe to opt for technology-based platforms to bolster their returns.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the brain-storming technologies that is widely deployed in many business functions.
The integration of technology and business has led to increased revenue streams and lower costs. According to McKinsey annual IT strategy survey, technology investment continue to create significant business value that results from significant cost reductions and improved employee experience.

Last year’s survey revealed that only some companies saw their value accrue to the enterprise level while using AI.
