Leading Use Cases for Operational Efficiency and Innovation

Is your organization eager to embrace the AI era but unsure of how and where to start? You’re not alone! The potential for AI to transform businesses is immense, spanning across every industry. AI has the power to elevate any part of your business operations, helping you become more efficient and innovative. As Forbes recently highlighted, “Generative AI is poised to redefine the future of work by enabling entirely new opportunities for operational efficiency and business model innovation.” The question is no longer whether AI is relevant, but how soon you can adopt it.

We are at a critical juncture where businesses that don’t embrace AI risk falling behind their competition. Fortunately, we already see success stories from those at the forefront of this evolution. The Enterprise AI Maturity Index refers to these leading companies as Pacesetters—organizations that are ahead of the curve in their AI journeys, strategically investing in AI innovation to unlock new value for their businesses (Research conducted by ServiceNow).

The momentum behind AI adoption is accelerating. The Artificial Intelligence Pulse Survey by Forrester found that 67% of AI decision-makers plan to increase their organization’s investment in generative AI over the next year. These decision-makers recognize that AI is not just another tech buzzword—it’s an essential tool for staying competitive.

As Srividya Sridharan, VP and Group Research Director at Forrester, puts it:

“Generative AI has the power to be as impactful as some of the most transformative technologies of our time. The mass adoption of generative AI has transformed customer and employee interactions and expectations. As a result, genAI has catapulted AI initiatives from ‘nice-to-haves’ to the basis for competitive roadmaps.”

So, you understand the value of AI, but maybe you’re still wondering which use cases to prioritize. 

According to IDC, the top AI use cases—based on their projected five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028—highlight where the industry is headed. From operational efficiency to customer experience, AI is quickly becoming the backbone of future-forward businesses.

At Unframe, we bring custom AI solutions to life for enterprises alike. Let’s dive into some examples:

Use Cases

Augmented Claims Processing 

Augmented Claims Processing uses AI to improve and speed up the handling of claims. In traditional claims processing, human agents review documentation, assess damages, verify policies, and approve or reject claims—a process that can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Augmented claims processing assists humans by automating parts of this workflow, making it faster, more efficient, and more accurate.
