RE: White Collar Jobs: The Robots Are Coming For Them

I know its coming the finance and accounting world but struggle to see how - large corporations will be the last to give in. Not because they don't want to - more because of the stupidly complex IT infrastructure they have accumulated since the 80's.

To do a job, you have to access to 6 systems, none of which can integrate to feed information. We have DOS based systems, systems no longer supported, etc, and just moving to and ERP can take a decade, if ever. The layers and layers the multination companies built during the conglomerate phase of M&A created this headache.

Honestly - some dinosaurs may die and be replaced by new companies simply because they cannot adapt and change dynamically enough to compete.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. The inconsistency and complex systems of today are over bearing and ridiculous to manage.

I deal with these on a daily basis! Drives me absolutely insane.
