How AI Speeds Up Post-Merger IT Integration - Forbes
Nobody talks about what AI actually does well in the real world. They just sell you the version that sounds impressive in a boardroom.
You bought the tool. Your team ignored it. Now it's a $200/month

You bought the tool. Your team ignored it. Now it's a $200/month line item nobody wants to admit was a mistake. That's not a you problem — that's a rollout problem. And it happens to smart operators every day.
Here's what's interesting about how companies like Bonterra are using AI in complex situations like mergers: they're not replacing people or rebuilding from scratch. They're using AI to handle the tedious comparison work — mapping what exists in one system against another, flagging gaps, surfacing conflicts. Work that used to take weeks of manual review.
That same logic applies to your business right now. AI works best when you point it at a specific, repetitive task that already slows your team down. Not a vague "improve efficiency" goal. One bottleneck. One workflow.
The one question worth asking this week: what does your team do manually that takes too long and follows a pattern? That's your starting point.
You don't need a consultant or a six-figure platform. You need one small, boring win first.
What's the one task in your business you'd most want off your plate?
