The surge in popularity of generative AI and automated processes is giving early adopters an incredible edge. These compelling tools and processes, if implemented thoughtfully, can lift your business off of its current plateau. Are you struggling to bring your business up to speed digitally? Is your team bogged down with laborious, cumbersome tasks, leaving little room for big-picture thinking? Business Process Management (BPM) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can be the tools you need to propel your processes forward.
What Business Process Management Is and Is Not
Business Process Management refers to a structured model of thinking aimed at optimizing operational processes. It is not a specific software, technology, or product. It beings with the analysis of current processes and procedures. Then designing, modeling, executing, monitoring, and refining new processes and procedures begins. While RPA focuses on specific processes, BPM aims to refine a business’s end-to-end architecture and process management.
Robotic Process Automation
Robotic Process Automation is the right hand of the BPM anatomy. BPM specifies which tasks need completion and RPA takes digital, rules-based tasks and utilizes bots to accomplish them in the most efficient way that aligns with the goals of the process. Thus, saving team members time, energy, and technological waste to focus on big-picture thinking.
How They Work Together
RPA makes processes faster. BPM makes them better. Therefore, RPA can make any process faster, even poorly designed ones. While RPA’s can act as a Band-Aid fix for some things, BPM is designed to get to the root of the process problems.
