Challenges Businesses Face Today
Although every business is different and operates uniquely, they each face the same long-standing problems: lack of innovation, low employee
morale, poor collaboration, inconsistent business growth and competitive pressure. If we look deeper, we can identify multiple factors that trigger
these business challenges.
Most companies deal with thousands of manual operations that can be mind-numbing, time-intensive, and potentially error-prone. There can be
hundreds of disparate systems and applications, many are lacking documentation and well-defined integration points. Research indicates that
knowledge workers spend 40% of the day’s time on such manual tasks that limit their ability to work on high-value tasks. Moreover, manually
dealing with multiple and inconsistent data sources limits the complete visibility into end-to-end processes.

data sources processes on high-value tasks

Advancements in automation technologies such as robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, and business process automation tools are
gaining increased attention from business leaders to overcome these challenges.
These technologies are causing a fundamental shift in the way organizations operate. But the transition is challenging. Businesses are not able to
figure out the right set of digital technologies to affordably meet their organization’s automation needs and successfully achieve their
transformation goals.

01
Different Approaches for Business Automation
Businesses need a well-thought-out approach to embrace digital transformation and succeed as they navigate competing priorities. Let us take a
look at the available automation approaches.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)


Robotic Process Automation uses software robots (Bots) to perform work by emulating human actions through the user interface of any
system. Multiple systems can be involved in each business process that is automated without any need for integration or changes to the
underlying system. This avoids the most significant cost element of many automation projects.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)


Artificial intelligence is a collection of different technologies, including machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP)
working together to enable machines to sense, comprehend, act, and learn with human-like intelligence. AI applications enhance the
abilities of software robots with the skills to process documents, recognize dynamic interfaces, and make complex decisions.

Business Process Management (BPM)


Business process management is the discipline of improving a business process from end-to-end by analyzing it, modeling how it works
in different scenarios, executing improvements, monitoring the improved process, and continually optimizing it. BPM often involves
automating tasks and decisions within any given business process.

02
Why Businesses Need to Adopt a Holistic Automation Approach
Before embarking on any automation initiative, companies must understand which technologies solve what type of problem, and the strengths and
limitations of each.
RPA-enabled software robots automate rules-based, tactical tasks but are not capable of learning and improving on their own. Artificial intelligence
applications, on the other hand, are great at learning from large volumes of labeled data, and when used with RPA, can automate more processes
with better accuracy and speed. However, both technologies cannot deliver complete visibility into end-to-end processes. BPM can seamlessly
connect the dots enabling an effective orchestration of processes and work between humans and Bots.

One technology can’t solve all of the challenges. Automation needs a holistic approach.
Businesses should adopt a holistic approach with the following combination of automation technologies to overcome
mentioned business challenges and successfully optimize any given process for digital transformation.

What is Hyperautomation
Hyperautomation has been named as the #1 trend in Gartner’s list of Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2020*.
Hyperautomation is defined as harnessing multiple advanced
technologies to achieve end-to-end automation. It starts with
robotic process automation (RPA) at its core and adds a range of
complementary and advanced technologies, including:
Artificial Intelligence (NLP, Computer Vision, Intelligent Optical
Recognition)
Machine Learning (ML)
Business Process Management System (BPMS)
Advance Analytics
Other Business Automation Tools

“Enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders lack a defined strategy to scale automation with tactical and strategic goals. They
must deliver end-to-end automation beyond RPA by combining complementary technologies to augment business processes.”
Gartner calls this Hyperautomation**
(**Source: Gartner, Move Beyond RPA to Deliver Hyperautomation, Saikat Ray, Cathy Tornbohm, Marc Kerremans, Derek Miers, December 16, 2019.)

Business Benefits of Hyperautomation

Hyperautomation involves a combination of tools and technologies to help an enterprise achieve real progress on its digital transformation journey.
The combination allows for end-to-end automation of more complicated business processes that can also include human tasks when needed. This
delivers productivity gains to more employees, improves their job satisfaction, and thereby their motivation and performance. It can also improve
customer experience, help with new customer acquisition and retention of both customers and employees. The goal is to improve the productivity
and efficiency of business processes across the enterprise.

What Should be Considered While Utilizing Hyperautomation
There are very few automation vendors that are solely capable of helping businesses in their Hyperautomation journey. Generally, it requires
multiple vendors, having niche technology expertise, partnering in order to deliver solutions using Hyperautomation. Organizations’ investments in
such engagements result in a very high total cost of ownership (TCO) that can include unreasonably high implementation and licensing costs, with
a low return on investment (RoI). Furthermore, many automation projects fail due to short-term planning and gaps between a customer’s
expectations and the vendor’s ability to deliver.
Following are some of the key considerations that businesses should look for while evaluating vendors that claim to deliver Hyperautomation
capabilities.

Mature robotic process automation and AI Low dependency on third party vendors/tools to
capabilities for automating complex processes deliver intelligent automation

Ability to build a ‘Centers of Excellence’ for enabling Transparent licensing models that allow
end-to-end automation businesses to realize rapid RoI
