Business process automation (BPA)

Business process automation (BPA), or IT process automation, focuses on streamlining, optimizing and automating the key processes that drive value for an organization and its customers. BPA enables organizations to design, execute, monitor, and continuously improve business processes that span organizational boundaries and computer networks. BPA leverages existing IT assets and applications to accelerate informational flows, reduce operational errors, and eliminate delays. It makes business processes more robust, faster, and more efficient. BPA software detects and proactively responds to events (i.e., changes in data, systems, and networks), so organizations that employ it are generally more nimble and responsive to change.

BPA Features:

•    Helps increase efficiency and productivity by automating complicated processes that span people, partners,
     and systems.

•    Helps cut costs by enabling flexible business processes with reusable assets, reducing the need to hard-code
     changes across multiple applications.

•    Extends value of core applications by centralizing business processes and sharing them across the enterprise
     to maximize resources and increase ROI.

•    Strong support for human workflow and enables rapid process changes, providing the business agility required
     to compete in emerging markets by leveraging resources efficiently.

•    Accelerates time to value by enabling rapid change and reconfiguring of existing IT assets without redeployment.
