Smart Automation Inquiry
The Necessity for Process Management within Smart Automation
Smart automation includes process management and digital transformation, both of which are vitally important to smart automation. To get full benefit from digital transformation, automation initiatives should be aligned with a sound process management system. Having a fundamental process management system in place will enable better implementation, sustainment, and continuous improvement of process performance and automation effectiveness. Organizations must have a solid process management system in place for smart automation to be effective and productive.
“The last ten years of IT have been about changing the way people work. The next ten years of IT will be about transforming your business.”
WHAT IS SMART AUTOMATION?
Smart automation is the outcome that occurs within an organization when effective process management systems are implemented and simultaneously met with digital transformation. Digital transformation is the implementation and integration of digital technology into all facets of a business. By successfully introducing new technology, businesses can become more efficient, more productive, and deliver higher value to their customer. While it may seem as though integrating new technology into an organization will deliver increased efficiency and productivity on its own, this is simply not the case. Businesses need to know how to effectively use their new technology to be successful. This is where process management systems come into place!
Process Management refers to aligning processes with organizational mission and key competencies, designing and implementing process architectures, establishing process measurement systems that align with organizational goals, and building an infrastructure to manage processes effectively. Having processes in place allows an organization to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. A company’s desired end result will only occur through effective managing processes. By combining a process management system with digital transformation, organizations will certainly see smart automation lead to long term productivity gains!
How Do Organizations Benefit From Smart Automation?
With Smart Automation, businesses will begin to see increased efficiency, long term productivity gains, and more content customers. Without smart automation and the use of new technology, organizations will find themselves struggling to keep up with their competitors. If an organization chooses not to digitally transform their business, nearly all aspects of the company will become outdated, including their process management system. When smart automation is adopted by an organization though, businesses should encounter better profit margins due to lower costs and increased revenue.
In this day and age, technology is becoming increasingly essential in the business world. Businesses that adapt to this era of new technology, and subsequently adapt their process management systems as well, will find their organization operating at the highest level possible. When used and implemented correctly into a business, technology can make a world of difference.
