What Is Business Process Automation?

Business process automation (BPA) refers to the use of technology and software tools to automate and streamline repetitive and manual tasks within an organization's operational processes. 


The Benefits of Business Process Automation

The following are some of the benefits of implementing business process automation:

  • Increase efficiency by automating repetitive tasks to save time and money.
  • Improve accuracy by reducing human errors.

Types of Business Process Automation

There are a number of different ways to automate business processes, each with its own set of features. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA uses software robots to automate tasks that are performed manually, such as data entry, email processing, and scheduling.
  • Business Process Management (BPM): BPM is a more comprehensive approach to BPA that involves designing, modeling, and optimizing business processes.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI can be used to automate tasks that require human intelligence, such as customer service and fraud detection.
