Business Process Automation
Streamline complex processes to reduce manual effort, cut costs, increase process quality, and improve compliance.
What is Business Process Automation?
Business Process Automation (BPA) uses software to automate multi-step business processes. BPA reduces or eliminates human effort and error in routine tasks by automating repetitive work. Where people are essential to the process, business process automation smooths workflow between people and integrates with internal and external systems to gather and update information.
For business processes such as invoicing, claims, underwriting or onboarding, BPA orchestrates people and systems in efficient end-to-end workflows that achieve business objectives.
Robotic Process Automation and BPA
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) executes repetitive work at greater speed, with greater accuracy, and at lower cost than human workers.
RPA software robots act as highly efficient and productive digital workforce assistants, automating a portion of the work that a human would previously have performed in a manual, time-consuming and error-prone way. RPA releases your human workforce from repetitive work such as keying or re-keying data and transferring data from one system to another.
BPA automates additional aspects of a business process, increasing efficiency and reducing latency and wasted effort. For example, BPA automates workflow so that all tasks are quickly attended to and all updates to systems such as CRM and ERP are instantly made.
