Programming is often a businesses first real attempt at any automation - basically writing a set of rules for a computer to follow on a repeating basis as required. Even writing formulas in an Excel spreadsheet can be considered programming, and for anyone who has had to use a spreadsheet without knowing how to write formulas - they know just how easily a lot of time can be wasted.
Depending on business objectives, programming can simply be small snippets of code on your computer than you use periodically to speed up a process - or it could be a complex pipeline of custom APIs and applications that live in the cloud an operate automatically.
Python is an amazing tool for programming, offering easily readible code with an almost infinite number of applications thanks to the open-source libraries of add-on software packages. Python can be used for data science and the most advanced AI applications just as easily as it can crop and resize a folder full of hundreds of photographs or replace your clunky spreadsheet and process the data into a clean output at the click of a button.
The best applications of programming are processes that have clear rules to follow, are repeated often and are things that employees typically hate because they are boring. As an example many bookkeeping functions can be eliminated with simple programming, drastically reducing employee expenses or freeing up management time to pursue other more critical activities.
