Definition
Business Process Automation
Business process automation uses workflow, integration, bots, or system rules to reduce repetitive manual work—after the process and data are unified.
Explanation
Automating fragmented processes copies chaos faster. Start with process, ownership, and exceptions, then choose the right automation pattern.
Business context
Not every automation is RPA. It may be platform workflow, APIs, or improvement of an existing system.
Frequently asked questions
- Should we start with RPA?
- Not always. Start with process, data, and integration; the right automation may be workflow, API, or improvement of an existing system.
