The "Art" In Automating Business Processes For Small To Midsize Companies

Take all of those tedious, repetitive tasks that take up so much of your employees’ time, and mark them as done. That’s what business process automation (BPA) software does.  Automating businesses’ processes in a small or midsize company will free up your team to focus on doing what they do best, while your software keeps everything flowing, data updated, and different departments working together.

Business Processes That Can Be Automated

Think of all the processes you could automate:

  • Onboarding (or offboarding)
  • Accounts receivable as part of the sales process
  • Accounts payable and purchase orders as part of logistics and vendor processes
  • Marketing task automation
  • Contract and document management
  • Creating client proposals
  • Training programs

The “Art” in Business Process Automation

So, what is this about the “Art” in automating business processes?

People think of custom software development as a function of purely technical experts or teams, but it is much more than that. In addition to nurturing an understanding of a client’s business model, it is important to bridge the gap between an owner’s vision of how a process should flow and how software executes that process, automatically.

It becomes an “Art” as we learn exactly how to pull that business context of a process from the business leaders and translate that into something the software engineer can automate through software. Like any artist, it takes years of experience in business and in software development to become a true master. And it’s this art that allows a company like DHx to deliver solutions that significantly limit churn, mitigate risk, and speed up the development process.
