How long does automation implementation take? At Sophera Consulting, not long. We build order entry from customer emails in a few hours. If someone from your team works with us for a day, it's up and running by the evening.

How long does automation implementation take with us?

The agent reads incoming customer emails and creates the orders in your system. Building it takes a few hours. For the joint implementation day we need access to the mailbox and the target system, a handful of real customer emails for testing, and one person who can answer questions about the process.

Why IT projects usually take longer than planned

Bent Flyvbjerg and Alexander Budzier at the University of Oxford analysed 1,471 IT projects and published the results in Harvard Business Review in 2011. On average, costs came in 27% over plan. One project in six was an extreme outlier, averaging a 200% cost overrun and a schedule overrun of almost 70%.

That's one reason we start with a focused agent that runs after a day, rather than planning a big project over several months.

Next step

In a free automation check, we work out with you which process makes a good starting point and what access we'll need. Sophera Consulting then builds the agent at a fixed price, with no subscription.
