WHY CHOOSING A WORKFLOW AUTOMATION SOFTWARE?

Automation, automation, automation. We keep reading and listening to articles, blogs, companies that refer to automation and the use of workflow automation software as key-points to be competitive in this post pandemic economic environment. Nevertheless, these technologies are not new, so why are we talking now about workflow automation software?

According to Augusto Barros, Gartner’s VP analyst, there are two main answers to this question: the first one is the need of workflow automation. In fact, previously automation was not so needed because virtualization was still not everywhere. Furthermore, a smaller pace of change and size of the technology environments did not require the use of automation.

The second answer concerns the tools. Automation already existed, but integration was difficult to make, since there were just a few APIs available from different security tools, and they were not standardized and not simple as the APIs we see today. Moreover, there was not the option to orchestrate the work of multiple independent solutions, but you had to include all required capabilities in a single tool. Basically, the entire menu of tools to be centrally orchestrated did not exist.

Nowadays, with cloud, new developments and technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, or vocal assistants, it is imperative for organizations to be able to adapt and react faster. At the required scale, that is only possible through the use of workflow automation software.

What is Workflow Automation?

We talked about workflow automation, but what is it? Essentially, it is the process of using ruled-based logic to launch a series of tasks on their own without human intervention. Thanks to that, it is possible to send email, set up reminders, schedule tasks, trigger drip campaigns, and more.

A simple and clear example could be a website visitor that submits a form in your site: after that, he will receive an email where, for example, he will be requested to schedule a meeting. Then, it will click through the meeting scheduler and an appointment will be created. Consequently, a thank you email will be sent to the lead, confirming the date and time, and the CRM will create a new task and assign it to a salesperson. Eventually, the salesperson will reach out personally, ending the automated workflow.

To do so, you need a workflow automation software and, as you can see, the automation of this process can help you to eliminate human errors and allows you to focus on more strategic works, where your employees can use better their talents. Of course, with workflow automation you can save time and money, diminish errors, and boost your productivity, because you leverage self-operating processes that run manual tasks.

Which department can harness the advantages of workflow automation? Well, we can say that almost every department can benefit from it: marketing, human resources, or finance can get a big improvement with automation. Linked to that, you find robotic process automation (RPA) and business process automation (BPA) which support you in the automation of your processes, read this article to find out more.
