The whole point of using a productivity suite is to be, well… productive. And the more time you invest in performing repetitive or complex processes, the less productive and creative you become. The iWork suite of applications are designed to eliminate the drudgery, with elements, tools, and media libraries, shared by every application in the suite. And now there’s one more thing they have in common on OS X: automation with AppleScript and Automator.

For professionals, creatives, and business mavens alike, Automation is the essential element for success. Because, when your workflow processes are automated, you gain:

• Speed. It takes less time to accomplish complex multi-step procedures.
• Accuracy. With automation, the chances of making mistakes because of human error are minimized.
• Consistency. Automation produces data of reliable quality.
• Scalability. If you want to do more, in a shorter time, while maintaining quality, automation is the best way to expand your business.

Using automation frees you from the “grunge work,” to focus on the creative and analytical aspects of what you do — you know, that stuff you were actually hired and like to do! And when it comes to automating, AppleScript is your best friend.

So, if you are currently using another productivity suite and are interested in learning about the unique features of the iWork suite of applications; or are an iWork user who wants to take the suite to the next level of functionality; automating iWork with AppleScript is something you really should explore.
