Driving Efficiency in
Business Process
Management
Process automation is the backbone of effective business process management (BPM). By automating processes, businesses can achieve real-time visibility into their operations, identify and resolve errors quickly, and make changes to processes on the fly.
Automation also allows businesses to scale their operations more effectively, as they can easily add or remove steps from a process as needed. In short, process automation is essential for businesses that want to improve their process management capabilities.
Optimise Your Business Process for Maximum Productivity
Gartner® defines business process management as “a discipline that uses various methods to discover, model, analyse, measure, improve and optimise business processes.” Managing business process requires coordination of people, systems and technology, and information to perform the tasks needed to drive business goals and strategy.
The Five Phases of the Process
Automation Lifecycle
A process automation lifecycle covers the entire spectrum of process automation, from the simplest to the most complex. A process automation engagement involves five main areas:
Design and Map
Analyse the current process to identify opportunities for improvement.
Model
Evaluate how the new process will work under different scenarios.
Execute
Implement the latest workflows and technologies.
Monitor
Track and report key metrics to measure the success of the new process.
Optimise
Adjust the process as needed to improve efficiencies.
