Why, What, How of Hyperautomation
Updated: Jan 6
Hyperautomation – Automating with advanced technologies.
Essentially, it's automation and orchestration of the entire organization, including real-time tracking of value from ideation, and discovery to execution.
The term "hyperautomation" was coined by Gartner in 2019. IDC, for example, calls it "intelligent process automation." Forrester calls it "digital process automation."
Irrespective of the name, hyperautomation is a powerful combination of digital technologies and tools available for automation that will continue to evolve and improve as they become more widely adopted, ushering in a new era of automation that will have even more promise for streamlining corporate operations and improving employee lives.
We'll examine what hyperautomation is, what digital technologies it involves, and what benefits it offers in this post.
What is hyperautomation?
A variety of automation technologies are available for businesses and IT. The tools are typically script-based, rule-based, or designed for specific use cases. Simple tasks can be automated with these tools on an ad hoc basis.
With this approach, the organization becomes a patchwork of segregated automation. It is therefore challenging and expensive for IT to develop automated, end-to-end procedures to support business objectives.
Essentially, that is the difference between automation and hyperautomation: automated processes are primarily about automating basic tasks for the sake of efficiency, while hyperautomation is about automating and coordinating processes to create new processes that would otherwise not be possible using traditional processes.
An enterprise automation system that is designed to scale using hyperautomation. In hyperautomation, humans can play a significant role by collaborating in digitization.
Using a systematic approach, business-driven hyperautomation involves discovering, validating, and automating as many acceptable business and IT activities as quickly as possible. Hyperautomation is a collection of technologies rather than a single technology, which is the first thing to know about it. Its objective is to increase the automation of all corporate processes. Through introducing and automating numerous technologies, tools, and platforms. Hyperautomation supports business activities to improve corporate decision-making.
Using hyperautomation can produce data that provide a level of business intelligence not previously available. Thus, repetitive activities are eliminated, the risk from human error is reduced, operational efficiency and robustness are improved, and employee performance improves. The whole process is far more intelligent when using hyperautomation since it contains additional intelligence. As a result of AI, different types of intelligence may be constructed, including optical character recognition and natural language processing.
What is the most important element of hyperautomation?
To reap the benefits of hyperautomation, companies must first invest in the appropriate tools and technology. Your choice of tools will impact how the process is carried out. Our recommendation would be to choose something scalable, easy to integrate, smooth, and user-friendly.
Continuing our discussion on selecting the correct tools, let's go into greater detail about what hyperautomation can and should accomplish. In other words, hyperautomation is a combination of the two. One of the reasons it is such a useful phrase is that it covers a wide range of automation tools, technologies, and platforms. There's a good chance you already know some of these technologies. We'll go over each one separately.
Robotic Process Automation
Automation of repetitive tasks incorporating processes is achieved by robotic process automation (RPA). We can automate various processes such as procurement, pricing, billing, quote requests, follow-up, data input, and system maintenance and repair. As humans work with software applications and systems in the same way that robots do, RPA software bots can do the same. RPA software bots work around the clock, faster, and with maximum precision and dependability.
