Why Should You Implement Business Process Automation?

Organizations must adapt quickly to stay competitive and effective in today’s ever-changing landscape. Modern organizations can achieve this by implementing Business Process Automation. Also known as BPA, this is software that automates repetitive and manual tasks to reduce errors, increase efficiency, and ultimately allow the organization’s staff to focus their time and energy on what they do best. It is estimated that around 27% of companies are already using BPA, specifically to further push digital transformation and leverage the benefits it can bring.

In this article, we’re going to go through why you should consider business process automation, dig a little deeper into its benefits, and how we at Insource Services can help you implement it.

What are the Benefits of Implementing Business Process Automation?

There are a whole host of benefits that come from implementing BPA. Here’s some of the top advantages it can offer:

Increased efficiency

Time-consuming data entry and repetitive transformations are labor-intensive and rarely elicit peak performance. Automation streamlines workflows and reduces the time needed to manage, monitor, and execute.

Reduced errors

Automating business processes reduces or eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout data flows.

Effective staff

By reducing the need for labor-intensive and error-prone manual processes, staff can focus their limited time and energies on more critical efforts to move the organization forward.

Putting BPA into action

At Insource, we constantly strive to help our clients be more effective. We tackle the HR, Finance, or IT work so that our clients can focus on what they do best and what sets their organization apart.

For example, one of our clients had a lengthy, complex, and challenging process to develop business-to-business contracts. A quarter of all agreements were various documents for signature and each took, on average, over 8 hours of handling, amongst their various departments.

Our technology professionals worked with the client to understand their pain points, identify requirements, develop a solution, and iterate to improve and optimize the new workflow. By using Microsoft PowerPlatform and DocuSign, we created a solution to automate the generation, approval, and distribution of contracts for signature. The entire process was reduced from 8 hours to 4, with a reduction of revisions to 10% of what they had been, previously.
