Workflow automation
Is 100% automation really feasible – and do I want it?
Fewer errors. Repetitive tasks eliminated. Speedier execution of processes. These are among the promises of “end-to-end automation,” or “100% automation.” But the shift can still be a daunting prospect for a company without prior experience. Concerns around a lack of process oversight and audit requirements, or vulnerability to errors going unnoticed, are entirely avoidable. In some cases, they’re based on interactions with more primitive automation tools. Consider the path to 100% automation as analogous to regular cars evolving into self-driving cars.
