United VARs member, Seidor, is a technology consultancy with offices in forty-five countries. The organization specializing in SAP solutions and helping businesses of all sizes harness the power of AI to transform their operations.
In this blog, Carlos Polo, Seidor’s Director IA & EDGE Technologies, shares his perspective on why now is the perfect time to explore AI and how businesses can build a roadmap for success.
“AI isn’t magic,” Carlos Polo says with a smile, “but it feels like it when you see what it can do.”
For many small and mid-sized companies, artificial intelligence feels like an intimidating leap into the unknown. But Carlos and his team at Seidor are proving that AI doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. With practical solutions and a step-by-step approach, Seidor is helping businesses worldwide embrace AI as a transformative force.
The Perfect Moment for Companies to Start their AI journey
“AI has reached a point where it can slot into your existing processes without tearing everything apart,” Carlos explains. “At Seidor, we’ve seen firsthand how it drives efficiency and sparks innovation in ways that weren’t possible just a few years ago.”
Several factors have aligned to make this the perfect moment for companies to start their AI journey. Technology has become not only more advanced but also more user-friendly. “You don’t need a massive IT department or a team of data scientists to get started,” Carlos says. “The tools are more accessible and adaptable than ever.”
Equally important is the urgency to stay competitive. “The world is moving fast. If you’re not making data-driven decisions, you risk falling behind,” Carlos notes.
Power and Simplicity with SAP Business AI
Seidor collaborates closely with SAP to make AI solutions seamless. “SAP Business AI is a game-changer,” Carlos says. “It’s designed to work effortlessly with SAP systems, which many of our clients already use. That makes integration smooth and the results immediate.”
From optimizing supply chains to automating financial tasks, SAP Business AI delivers transformative changes that help companies grow and compete. Carlos also praises SAP’s emphasis on usability and security. “With SAP Business AI, you don’t have to choose between power and simplicity, you get both,” he says.
Overcoming Common Fears About AI
Despite its promise, Carlos understands why many companies hesitate. “AI can seem mysterious, almost like a black box that people don’t fully trust,” he admits.
To address this, Seidor focuses on small, specific projects that solve real problems, building confidence step by step. For instance, automating routine tasks saves time, reduces errors, and delivers tangible results. “When companies see the results, real savings, happier employees, they start to understand the value of AI,” Carlos explains.
Data privacy and job displacement are two other common concerns. Carlos is quick to reassure: “Data privacy is non-negotiable. We follow the highest standards to ensure every solution is safe and compliant.”
He has a positive perspective on the topic of job security, “AI isn’t here to replace people. It’s here to help them. By taking over repetitive, time-consuming tasks, it frees your team to focus on what they do best: strategy, creativity, and connection.”
A Simple Roadmap for Exploring AI
For companies ready to explore AI, Carlos provides a clear and practical roadmap:
- Start with Your Main Objective: “What’s the biggest problem you’re trying to solve? Maybe it’s improving customer service or optimizing your supply chain. Start with one clear objective,” Carlos advises.
- Ensure Data Readiness: “Without clean, organized data, even the best AI tools can’t deliver results. Investing in your data now pays off later,” he says.
- Pilot Projects for Quick Wins: Starting small with manageable pilot projects allows businesses to demonstrate results and build confidence before scaling up.
- Set Measurable Goals: “Track metrics like time savings, cost reductions, or customer satisfaction improvements. These show what’s working and where to adjust,” Carlos explains.
A Future Built on AI
As we wrapped up, Carlos reflected on the bigger picture. “AI isn’t just about cutting costs or working faster. It’s about creating something better: a more agile, innovative, and human business.”
Seidor’s mission is clear: “We’re not just helping businesses adopt AI. We’re helping them build a future where they can thrive. With the right tools, the right approach, and the right partners, there’s no limit to what they can achieve.”
Carlos leaves us with a parting thought: “The future belongs to the bold. Take that first step, you won’t regret it.”
