00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
Welcome to the deep dive, your shortcut to knowledge.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,040
We break down complex topics.

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,680
You get exactly what you need.

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,280
Before we jump into today's subject, taking back control of your workflow

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,960
is a quick thank you to our sponsor.

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,000
This deep dive is supported by Safe Server.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,080
Safe Server is great for hosting your software,

8
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,200
managing your infrastructure, and they really support you

9
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,280
through that digital transformation.

10
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,040
If owning your data stack is important to you,

11
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,680
find out more at www.safeserver.de.

12
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,600
OK, let's get into it.

13
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Today, we're looking at a tool promising big productivity games

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,120
without all the technical headaches, workflow automation.

15
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,000
Specifically, Automatish, that's A-U-T-O-M-A-T-I-S-C-H.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,200
It's pitched as the open source alternative to giants like Zapier.

17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,120
And our mission today isn't just to explain what it is,

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,120
but really dig into why its focus on self-hosting and open source

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,920
is, well, a potentially massive strategic edge,

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,520
especially if you're concerned about data privacy

21
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,000
or getting locked into vendors.

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080
That strategic angle is absolutely key.

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,080
Because right now, automation often feels, well, inaccessible.

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,600
It's either super complex, needing specialist teams,

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,240
or you're reliant on these quite expensive cloud tools,

26
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,680
where you essentially give away control over core processes.

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,360
Right.

28
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,920
Automatish tries to bridge that gap.

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,840
It aims for enterprise-level power,

30
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,680
but without that enterprise cost, and crucially,

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,280
without losing control.

32
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,680
OK, let's keep it simple for someone maybe new to this.

33
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,960
Say I use five different online tools daily.

34
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,800
How does Automatish actually link them?

35
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,920
What does the automation look like in practice?

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,240
Sure, so Automatish is basically a business automation

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,240
tool built on a low-code idea.

38
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,120
Think of a visual drag-and-drop interface

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,200
where you set up triggers like, when this happens,

40
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,360
and then actions do this.

41
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,520
And no coding needed.

42
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,160
Exactly.

43
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,240
No programming required.

44
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
It connects your services, your CRM, email, social media,

45
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,200
whatever, and gets them talking to each other automatically.

46
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Saves you time.

47
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,620
Can you give a really concrete example, something

48
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,000
people can picture immediately?

49
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,960
OK, let's imagine you handle marketing leads or customer

50
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,800
support.

51
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,480
Normally, maybe you copy a query from a web form,

52
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
paste it into Slack for the team,

53
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,680
then maybe create a ticket in Jira or Trello.

54
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,760
Tedious, right?

55
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Yeah, and easy to make mistakes or forget a step.

56
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Precisely.

57
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,260
With Automatish, you set it up once.

58
00:02:09,260 --> 00:02:10,680
The moment that form gets submitted,

59
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,320
boom, the automation runs.

60
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,640
It can post to Slack, create the Jira ticket,

61
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,000
maybe even update your CRM all instantly.

62
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,640
It just removes all that manual, error-prone shuffling of data.

63
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,360
That makes the no-code benefit crystal clear.

64
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080
You're swapping lots of small, repetitive daily tasks

65
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,960
for one initial setup.

66
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Now, we know Zapier and IntegraMap now

67
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,280
make our huge players here.

68
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,080
How do Automatish's creators, Ali Barayan and Irmar Furukh-Aydan,

69
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
position their tool against these big names?

70
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,320
They really lean into affordability and independence.

71
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Zapier and tools like it are very capable,

72
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440
but they operate on this cloud-based subscription

73
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320
model that can get seriously expensive,

74
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,720
especially as your usage grows.

75
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,640
Right, the costs can ramp up quickly.

76
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,600
Yeah, the Automatish team saw businesses

77
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,200
getting priced out of automation they really needed.

78
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,800
So they built their tool to integrate

79
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
with all the popular services, but crucially,

80
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,240
without forcing you into paying ongoing fees

81
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,920
to a proprietary platform just to run your core workflows.

82
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,160
So it connects the same essential services,

83
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,520
but the difference is strategic where it runs and how it runs,

84
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,520
which brings us nicely to its core advantages.

85
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,960
Let's start with data control tied to self-hosting.

86
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Why is running this on my own server suddenly so important?

87
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160
This is probably the biggest differentiator,

88
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,920
particularly for anyone in a regulated field.

89
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,400
Self-hosting means the actual data flowing

90
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
through your automations, customer details,

91
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,040
financial info.

92
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,680
Maybe health data stays entirely on your systems

93
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,720
under your control.

94
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,240
But wait, isn't running it on AWS or Google Cloud

95
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480
still my infrastructure in a sense?

96
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Don't they have amazing security teams?

97
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,400
That's a fair question about security infrastructure, sure.

98
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
But the issue here is more about legal control and data

99
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,400
jurisdiction.

100
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
If you're handling sensitive user data,

101
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
especially in sectors like health care or finance,

102
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,440
strict rules apply.

103
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Like GDPR in Europe.

104
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Exactly like GDPR.

105
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720
It imposes strict rules about where data resides

106
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,120
and who can access it.

107
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,440
If your automation data sits on a US company's cloud server,

108
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,880
for example, that data might fall under US laws and access

109
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600
requests, no matter where your company is actually based.

110
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,600
OK, so even if I'm, say, a German company using a US cloud

111
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,840
provider, my data might not be fully under German or EU

112
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:23,840
legal protection.

113
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:24,680
That's the risk.

114
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,160
You're effectively sharing potentially sensitive

115
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,680
information with an external provider whose infrastructure

116
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200
is outside your direct legal jurisdiction.

117
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,680
For many businesses under GDPR, that's simply not allowed.

118
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,240
Self-hosting completely sidesteps that problem.

119
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,360
The data physically stays where you put it under your rules.

120
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800
That makes the compliance angle incredibly clear.

121
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,200
It shifts self-hosting from just a tech choice

122
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760
to a legal necessity for some.

123
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Absolutely.

124
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,800
But hold on.

125
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Doesn't running it myself just swap Zapier's monthly bill

126
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,920
for the hassle and cost of managing my own server?

127
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Self-hosting isn't free either, right?

128
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,480
You need someone to maintain it.

129
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Excellent point.

130
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,240
It's about the total cost and the ROI model.

131
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,840
Yes, self-hosting has infrastructure and maybe

132
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,640
some maintenance costs.

133
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,360
But crucially, those tend to be more fixed costs.

134
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,240
OK.

135
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,320
With many proprietary cloud services,

136
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,880
the cost is variable and scales with usage.

137
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,600
Run 10,000 tasks a day on Zapier,

138
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,360
and your bill can skyrocket.

139
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040
With self-hosting, whether you run 10 tasks or 10,000,

140
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,680
your infrastructure cost remains largely predictable.

141
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,440
It avoids that punitive scaling cost

142
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,520
and gives you long-term financial independence.

143
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,600
I see.

144
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Fixed cost predictability versus potentially

145
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,800
exponential variable costs.

146
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,300
Right.

147
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,760
That's a strong argument, especially

148
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,000
for growing businesses.

149
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,700
So what's the second big advantage flowing

150
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:42,960
from this independent model?

151
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,040
That would be avoiding vendor lock-in.

152
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,540
We hear this term a lot, basically,

153
00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:49,480
getting so deeply tied into one provider's technology

154
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120
that leaving becomes incredibly difficult, disruptive,

155
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:52,960
and expensive.

156
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Yeah.

157
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,040
We've all felt that somewhere, maybe even

158
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,960
just their personal bank.

159
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Switching feels like a nightmare because everything's

160
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,680
tied together.

161
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Exactly.

162
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480
And in business tech, that lock-in is risky.

163
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,680
What if your cloud automation provider suddenly

164
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440
doubles their prices or deprecates

165
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,080
a feature you rely on?

166
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,000
You're stuck.

167
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,840
You either pay up or face a massive, costly migration

168
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:14,720
project.

169
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,680
Which no one wants.

170
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Right.

171
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Because automatage is self-hosted.

172
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,520
You own the infrastructure.

173
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,840
You own the data format.

174
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:25,020
If, down the line, you decide it's no longer the right fit,

175
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:27,360
moving to something else is significantly easier.

176
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640
You have the flexibility because you never gave up

177
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,120
control in the first place.

178
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240
That's pure strategic sense, protecting the business

179
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,760
from being held hostage later.

180
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,200
OK, third advantage, it's open source.

181
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Why should a typical business user, not necessarily

182
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,600
a developer, care that the code is open?

183
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,680
It boils down to transparency and trust, really,

184
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,280
because automatage is open source.

185
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,040
Anyone, your developers, external security auditors,

186
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,960
curious users, can actually look at the code.

187
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,320
They can see exactly how it works, how it handles data.

188
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,440
It's not a black box.

189
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800
So thinking back to that sensitive data,

190
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880
if security is paramount, I might actually

191
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,160
trust software more if its workings are

192
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240
open to public scrutiny by potentially thousands of eyes.

193
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,000
Precisely.

194
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,880
It's not built behind closed doors.

195
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
It's continuously reviewed, tested, and improved

196
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,080
by a whole community.

197
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840
And that community is active.

198
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480
The project has something like 13,300 stars

199
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,080
and 1,000 forks on GitHub.

200
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,720
That's significant engagement.

201
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,000
It means more eyes, finding bugs, suggesting improvements,

202
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
making it more robust over time.

203
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,520
That level of community input is definitely reassuring.

204
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,640
So if someone listening is interested,

205
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,120
maybe wants to try it or even contribute feedback,

206
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,120
where do they go?

207
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040
The usual places for open source projects,

208
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,920
really, GitHub is the main hub for code and issues.

209
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,080
They also have a Discord server for community chat

210
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,320
and a presence on Twitter for updates.

211
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
If you had a problem setting up a workflow,

212
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,280
the GitHub Issues page is the best place

213
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,080
for support or reporting bugs.

214
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,520
OK, good to know.

215
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
And let's talk about actually getting it running.

216
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,120
You mentioned self-hosting.

217
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,920
The source material implies the installation

218
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,040
is quite straightforward.

219
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,420
Yeah, they've clearly designed it for ease of deployment,

220
00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:02,920
primarily using Docker.

221
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,420
If you're comfortable with containers,

222
00:08:04,420 --> 00:08:07,000
it's not some complex, days-long setup.

223
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,280
So what does it involve?

224
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,120
The documentation lays out basically three command line

225
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,080
steps.

226
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,680
Get clone to get the code, cd, automatic

227
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,400
to go into the directory, and then

228
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Docker compose up to build and start the services.

229
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520
That should get it running locally pretty fast.

230
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Wow, OK, that does sound quick.

231
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080
Three commands to potentially take back

232
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,800
full control of your automation.

233
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,800
But a really critical security note

234
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,040
here for anyone trying this.

235
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800
The docs mentioned default login details.

236
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,840
Yes, absolutely crucial point.

237
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,560
For convenience during initial setup,

238
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,560
they provide default admin credentials dot user

239
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,520
at automatish.io and the password sample.

240
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,120
You must change these immediately

241
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,720
after your first login.

242
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Don't skip this.

243
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,040
Do not skip this step.

244
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Leaving default credentials exposed

245
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,640
is a massive security risk.

246
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Go straight to the settings and set a strong, unique password

247
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,680
for the admin account.

248
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,280
Secure your setup right away.

249
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,160
Excellent advice.

250
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,440
Always secure the defaults.

251
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,940
Yeah.

252
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,160
Now, just briefly, let's touch on how they structure

253
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,400
the project itself.

254
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240
They use a dual licensing model, which can sometimes confuse

255
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,840
people new to open source.

256
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Can you clarify the two editions?

257
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,360
Sure.

258
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,400
It's a common model.

259
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,600
They have a single code base, but essentially two

260
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,360
different versions derive from it.

261
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,760
First, there's the Automatish Community Edition, or CE.

262
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,080
That's the free open source version

263
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,380
licensed under the AGPL 3.0 license.

264
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:26,720
Which means the code stays open.

265
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,220
Right.

266
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:29,800
The AGPL ensures that if you modify and distribute it,

267
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040
you generally need to share your changes, too.

268
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,560
It keeps the core transparent and community driven.

269
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:35,520
And the other edition.

270
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,200
The second is the Automatish Enterprise Edition, EE.

271
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,440
This is their paid commercial offering

272
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,840
under a separate enterprise license.

273
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440
It likely includes additional features, support,

274
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,920
or scalability options targeted at larger organizations.

275
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,960
This model lets them fund development

276
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,520
while keeping the base product freely available.

277
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,360
And they keep development manageable by?

278
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,320
By maintaining just one main code repository.

279
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,920
Any files or features specific to the paid enterprise

280
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720
editions simply have EE included in their file name.

281
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,340
It's a pretty clean way to manage both versions side

282
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:10,360
by side and be transparent about what's

283
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520
core open source versus what's part of the commercial package.

284
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,360
That makes sense.

285
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,520
A fractal structure.

286
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,040
OK.

287
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,980
So let's circle back and summarize the core appeal

288
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:19,120
for our listener.

289
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,980
Why seriously consider Automatish

290
00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:23,720
over the established players?

291
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,560
I think it comes down to three main things.

292
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,000
First, you get powerful automation

293
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680
without needing to code, which saves huge amounts of time

294
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:32,080
and potential errors.

295
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,240
Second, you gain maximum data control and easier compliance

296
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,240
through self-hosting absolutely vital for certain industries

297
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,520
and anyone concerned about data sovereignty.

298
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,960
And third, you benefit from generally lower long-term costs

299
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,720
and flexibility.

300
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,080
You avoid vendor lock-in because it's open source

301
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,680
and you control the deployment.

302
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,200
It's fundamentally about reclaiming

303
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,800
strategic independence over your core processes.

304
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,600
Strategic independence, that's a powerful idea.

305
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,520
And it leads perfectly into a final thought

306
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,880
for you, the listener.

307
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,720
If business automation is genuinely

308
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,000
becoming a basic utility, almost like electricity,

309
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160
how much risk are you really comfortable with?

310
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
By outsourcing the ownership of those critical data

311
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360
flows to a third-party cloud service

312
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,080
versus owning that infrastructure,

313
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,400
owning that control yourself, Automatch

314
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,680
presents a clear option to take that ownership back.

315
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:26,640
It's a fundamental question about control versus convenience.

316
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,960
And I think every business leader

317
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,200
needs to weigh that carefully now, especially

318
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,840
with data regulations tightening globally.
