Here is what you need to know regarding saving money with the help of automating your Business Processes!

With nearly the entire world being automated, why are businesses still stuck doing tedious and repetitive tasks manually? That's a question that requires some serious thought; the only answer to this, though, is automating the business processes.
Now, businesses might view automation as a way to save time only. But the truth is that it helps save money as well.
Let’s see how!

How Can Automating Business Processes Help Save Money?

While there is no clear formula to calculate exactly how much a firm can save by automating the business processes, the research shows that businesses have the potential to save up to millions of dollars annually.
Talking about how automation saves money then, here is how it works.

  • Firstly, automation narrows down the working process, which then reduces the amount dedicated to completing a task. All of this then uses fewer resources which, as a result, reduces the cost.
  • Secondly, automation improves the efficiency of the employees; less time is employed by them to get the work done and hence less cost. Not to forget, automation also eliminates the need to hire more labor when the workload is high.
    Automation impacts the productivity of the employees. Since all the monotonous and tedious work is eliminated, they are left with valued tasks and tasks of importance which, as a result, improves the revenue-generating work.
    Another way of proving how automating the processes can save money is by looking at the reduced errors that are made due to automation. Humans are prone to errors, and that is overcome by automation. Since fewer errors abolish the need to re-do things, it saves the cost of the business.
    Not to forget, automation reduces the operation cost of running the processes. The reason is that in order to meet the requirements of the industry and the increasing demand, companies tend to hire more and more employees. This leaves them with high costs since there is more than just giving the salary to the employees. However, in this case, automation comes to the rescue and helps save money.

    Three Types of Software Automation

    If you think that one type of software automation will be efficient in every industry, then you are wrong. There is no one size fits all solution here. There is a range of software automation that caters to the varying needs of different industries and sectors. Following are the primary automation software:
  • *Basic Automation *
    This type of automation caters to simple needs. It manages high-volume tasks that are prone to errors if conducted by the employees. Basic automation is for mundane, tedious, repetitive tasks that can easily be digitized and streamlined to make the process efficient and smooth.
    Business process automation and robotic process automation are some examples of basic automation software.
  • *Enhanced Automation *
    Enhanced automation caters to more complicated and specialized processes. IT, finance, and accounting sectors usually prefer this software automation to reduce the chances of human error.
  • *Cognitive Automation *
    It deals with the highest level of complicated processes that is a part of artificial intelligence. This is when robots and machines have to take over the practices of humans like thinking and reasoning. Due to cognitive abilities, cognitive automation tools can make future decisions on the basis of the past.
    What to know about successfully investing in the automation business
    Just because it is an automation software business won’t guarantee success. In order for your business to be successful, you need to understand the type of business you are catering to and then provide them with the required automation software type like the three mentioned above.

    What to know about successfully investing in the automation business

    Just because it is an automation software business won’t guarantee success. In order for your business to be successful, you need to understand the type of business you are catering to and then provide them with the required automation software type like the three mentioned above.
    Here is what you need to know about investing in an Automation Business:
  • *Prepare *
    The first step is always preparing, which includes knowing which industry you are entering and what automation software will you be offering to your targeted audience.
  • *Start But Start Small *
    The first step is very hard to take, but now that you have decided to embark on this journey, start small. Don't go over the board right off; you begin. Basic automation software is the safest to start with, but then the profit margin won't be very high compared to the other two types.
  • *Grow Gradually *
    The purpose of starting automation will be fulfilled when you eventually grow your business and start moving from the basic type to a higher and more complicated type of automation service providing. What you need to hold on to are the lessons you will learn throughout and trying not to make the same mistakes again.

Cloud Integration, iPaaS, SaaS, BPA… Ough, hard to keep track of all these terms. They are currently used frequently (and increasingly) in the context of automation, and it is sometimes difficult to make a clear distinction and distinction. We have already written blog posts on the terms iPaaS, SaaS and BPA, but we’ll take them up again here to make the difference.

But let’s start with cloud integration, because that’s the central umbrella term in which we embed all the other technologies in this blog post.

  • Is available in real time
  • Can be accessed from almost anywhere
  • Reduce potential sources of error by entering the same data multiple times
  • Require less installation and maintenance
  • Can optimize business processes

To illustrate these advantages, an example is suitable that we know well from our everyday work as an automation agency:

The central data to be used here is the data of a major customer. This can be the simplest information, such as the address. This address is required in numerous but completely different processes in the company: on the one hand, for correct invoicing in accounting. On the other hand, in the CRM system, where all the data of the large customer is also stored. But the address is also important in sales, for example, when employees go to the sales meeting on site.

Now the customer announces that the address of the company has changed after a move. This information will reach you by e-mail. There are now two options:

01. The e-mail is forwarded to all affected departments, accounting, sales, customer service, marketing… All persons open their corresponding program, CRM, accounting software, marketing tools (such as newsletter marketing) and change the data already stored there of the customer. This means that in multiple applications, different people do exactly the same thing: change one address.

02. But there is also an alternative: By connecting your applications, thus by integrizing them, the customer’s e-mail, or rather the information it contains about the address change, is automatically passed on to all affected applications: CRM, accounting, marketing, ERP. This does not require any clicks, because the cloud integration detects a trigger, i.e. address change, and thus automatically starts the process.

What sounds unimpressive in a single process becomes more effective when such a process occurs several times a day or weekly. Because there is a lot of data that is available in different applications and should always be correct. If these applications are cloud applications they are suitable for cloud integration.

But cloud integration doesn’t just happen. There are now a variety of applications that enable and implement this. Such tools usually allow us to link the relevant cloud applications on a central platform and define clear rules on when, how, where, how much data should be passed on and what happens to them.

IPaaS, SaaS, BPA, ABC – who can still see through it?

To realize cloud integration, there are various applications and technologies that are sometimes used interchangeably.

We have made a first distinction between iPaaS and BPA here.

We explain the term SaaS in more detail here.

Here the short version, again:

Cloud integration cannot be done without SaaS, iPaaS and BPA

Cloud integration is rather an umbrella term that includes numerous technologies, such as SaaS, iPaaS and BPA, and this is also absolutely necessary. Cloud integration is a concept that is made possible by appropriate technologies.

However, all terms share the commonality that they are cloud-based and thus offer enormous potential for growth and scaling. In addition, they are often cheaper to implement and maintain because changed requirements are easy to implement.

As an independent automation agency, we implement cloud integration according to your requirements. We use a variety of SaaS tools and iPaas (strictly speaking BPA) software. Together we find individual solutions that are flexible and scalable.
