Processautomation in practice – definition & success with BMTS
End-to-end automation across system boundaries – less effort, more speed, clear results.
What is Process Automation?
– A Definition
Process automation is the process of automating work and tasks. In concrete terms, this means transforming manually executed processes / services into digital / automated processes – workflows. The purpose of process automation is to save costs and time for manual administration and execution of processes. Another goal is an automatic, error-free handling of routine processes at a very high speed. On the one hand, process automation maintains competitiveness. But automation can also overcome problems that medium-sized companies in particular face – especially a shortage of skilled workers.
When & Why should Process Automation be implemented in the company?
Process Automation is not the first step that should be taken. It is important that process optimization takes place before automation.
Optimization plays an important role before automation, because a faulty process is still bad when automated.
Process Automation is well suited, for example, for simple, permanently repetitive work steps. But also complex processes, where the effort is greater, can be automated.
