Workplace Automation Software
Jonathan D. Rhyne
Automating your workplace can dramatically impact productivity, efficiency, accuracy, and innovation by replacing low-level, manual office work with smart office automation. This allows office workers to focus on the higher-value activities and innovation that require humans.
Why Use Workplace Automation Software?
By reviewing and optimizing existing manual processes and then building automated versions of those processes in workplace automation software, departments, and organizations can also ensure accuracy by configuring rules for information handling and decision-making that conform to existing policies. Typically automated procedures include straightforward logic like “if the request is for more than $50,000, route to CFO for approval” or “if the checkbox for the I9 form is blank, return to HR.” These simple logic gates replace someone opening an email or reviewing a paper form to decide what to do next. Instead, information flows immediately to the next step, saving hours each week.
What Can Be Automated?
The simple answer is “any process that requires a form or document to be routed between people or systems.” Here are some examples:
