Gartner projects that the global hyper-automation-enabling software market will approach a value of almost $600 billion by 2022. As a result, Hyper-automation is expanding at a breakneck pace. Hyper-automation is a relatively new term that encompasses techniques like artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic process automation, etc.
Hyperautomation combines multiple aspects of process automation; the goal is to automate more and more knowledge labor while also including everyone in the business in the transition. It starts with robotic process automation (RPA) at its foundation and then adds artificial intelligence (AI), process mining, analytics, and other sophisticated technologies to increase automation potential.
Here are the steps toward a highly effective hyper-automation roadmap:
- Determine the business results you want to achieve.
In what ways may hyper-automation help your company the most? Do you want to use error-reduction technology to reduce risk? Increase sales by providing more convenient and engaging customer experiences? Perhaps your primary goal is to save money. It’s critical to define the goals you want to achieve through hyper-automation to create a rock-solid plan for success. Adopting a holistic approach, which incorporates all personnel, departments, and processes is critical to a successful hyper-automation deployment.
You must also conduct a process audit of your company’s operations. Begin by taking inventory of your current processes and procedures. This will allow you to observe how your firm is now operating and how hyper-automation may enhance and escalate it.
- Choose the right tools and data sets.
Based on the processes you already have in place, choose the best automation technologies for your firm so you can improve the scalability of your procedures. This will require strong coordination with your IT staff, whether in-house or outsourced, as well as your organization’s management. Also, consider the data sets that will be used as a feed for increasing hyper-automation in your company. Finally, how can you simplify processes so that you can focus on growing other elements of your company or expanding farther down the road? Hyper-automation demands a comprehensive approach thus finding solutions to future-proof each phase is critical.
- Make a robust digital operations toolbox by combining your preferred tools.
There is a limitless amount of alternatives for assigning automation tools to a wide variety of tasks, including discovery, analysis, design, automation, and assessment. Keep your general goals and specific business use cases in mind when choosing technology. Examine technology such as RPA, Intelligent Business Process Management (iBPMS), Low code tools, Intelligent Platform as a Service (iPaaS), AI, Machine Learning, and more.
You must be able to integrate the tools and platforms you employ to hyper-automate your operations with your existing technology and procedures and scale accordingly.
This collection of tools, which serves as the command center for your hyper-automation campaign, offers everything you’ll need to achieve your goals. These are the most critical considerations for business executives and process architects when creating a hyper-automation strategy. You’re well on your way to attaining large-scale success with hyper-automation if you use these stages to design your deployment plan.
It’s important to remember that the most acceptable hyper-automation tactics are not intended to replace humans entirely. Hyper-automation, on the other hand, frees high-value workers from the shackles of routine chores, allowing them to focus on projects where their skills genuinely shine. At the end of the day, hyper-automation will enable enterprises to do more with less.
