Do you know that the global hyper-automation market is growing at a 12.5% CAGR? The change is fast and represents a transformational period wherein enterprises can no longer settle for automating single tasks. They need to optimize entire workflows for superior efficiency.
But how does a company move from task automation to full-scale hyperautomation? It all starts with Robotic Process Automation (RPA), the foundational technology that allows organizations to scale beyond the automation of simple tasks and into intelligent, end-to-end workflow optimization.
Continue reading to see how robotic process automation services powers hyperautomation for businesses, automating workflows to improve speed, accuracy, and digital transformation.
What is Hyperautomation?
Hyperautomation, more than just the automation of repetitive tasks, is reaching for an interconnected automation ecosystem that makes processes, data, and decisions flow smoothly. It’s the strategic approach for enterprises to quickly identify, vet, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible and to extend traditional automation to create an impact across the entire organization. RPA, at its core, represents this revolution, which can automate structured rule-based tasks at speed, consistency, and precision.
However, pure hyper-automation extends beyond RPA and integrates with more technologies like AI, ML, process mining, and intelligent document processing that incorporate to get the entire workflow automated. These technologies enhance decision-making ability, eliminate inefficiencies, and optimize workflows across the enterprise.
What is the Role of RPA in Hyperautomation?
- RPA as the “Hands” of Hyperautomation
RPA shines with the automation of structured and rule-based work as the execution engine of hyper-automation. RPA bots can execute pre-defined workflows and interact with different systems to perform repetitive duties. For example, during invoice processing, RPA bots can extract data from PDFs and automatically update accounting software, which can be efficient and accurate.
- RPA as a Bridge for Legacy Systems
Many organizations have problems integrating with old infrastructure. RPA solves the problem by simulating human interaction with legacy systems that do not have APIs. This way, automation can work with these systems by simulating user actions. For instance, a bank may use RPA bots to move data from a mainframe to a new reporting tool without needing expensive and complicated API integrations.
- RPA for Data Aggregation and Consolidation
RPA helps automatically collect and aggregate business data. With the support of RPA, businesses can gain a better single view through a consolidated fragmented source of data. For instance, RPA-based sales data collected from different e-commerce channels can provide a performance overview.
How Does RPA Interact with Other Technologies to Make Hyperautomation?
- AI-Based RPA: Increasing the Smartness
RPA becomes intelligent by associating with other AI-based technologies.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): This facilitates using unstructured emails and chat logs to enable the intelligent routing of communications
- Machine Learning (ML): These bots increase their performance over time because of the data they draw from the previous records. Hence, it maximizes accuracy and efficiency.
- Computer Vision: This is an advancement of RPA since it enables one to interface with applications that may or may not contain structured interfaces with no screen present.
For instance, AI-based RPA can be used in intelligent claims processing in insurance, where it can automatically extract, validate, and route data.
- Process Mining for Identifying Automation Opportunities
Process mining tools assess the workflow and then identify the points of inefficiency by pointing to where automating is likely. The bottleneck found can be automated using RPA, streamlining the processes involved. An example would be if a hospital optimized admission using process mining to automate entry and verification through RPA.
- iBPMS for Orchestration
iBPMS provides governance and real-time automation monitoring; therefore, it executes processes efficiently and effectively. RPA automates some tasks within an extensive process framework managed by iBPMS. For example, order fulfillment in e-commerce involves using RPA to update inventory and ship orders.
- Low-Code/No-Code Automation for Business Users
Low-code/no-code platforms enable nontechnical employees to develop RPA workflows, thus democratizing automation and speeding up hyper-automation adoption. For example, a marketing team can use a low-code tool to automate lead management, freeing time for more strategic activities while improving efficiency.
What is the Impact Of RPA on Hyperautomation in Terms of Business?
- Unleash Full Potential
Hyperautomation unlocks the true potential of RPA, which is rich in AI, process mining, and intelligent decision-making. The RPA performs mundane tasks, while AI-driven tools optimize workflows and improve decision-making and accuracy.
For example, RPA bots can process invoice data extraction. AI enhances document classification and validation to ensure everything is automated.
- Flexibility and Agility in Operations
RPA enables businesses to integrate multiple automation tools under one umbrella while still being able to change immediately according to fluctuating market and business situations. This cannot be achieved through static automation, but it provides more scalable and flexible ways of automating workflows with real-time optimization using RPA-based hyperautomation.
- Increasing Workforce Productivity
With the automation of mundane, time-consuming tasks, RPA allows others to apply more of their expertise in strategic thinking, innovation, and customer interaction, thereby improving workforce productivity and further driving the business.
- Seamless Interoperability Of Systems
RPA makes the data exchange and execution of workflows between business units, digital workers or bots, and IT systems invisible. This gives organizations the benefit of faster decisions and effective operations.
Hyperautomation using RPA provides for efficiency, reduced operational cost, and ROI. Therefore, business benefits range from real-time data processing to automatic compliance checks with easy scalability to stay sustainable and profitable over long periods.
