What is a Business Process?
The Business Process consists of a series of steps that lead to successfully completing a task. It includes the people, teams, and technology that deliver those steps and produce an outcome for the customer or company. Business Processes can be defined, measured, and controlled to achieve the desired result. Business Processes commonly support an overall strategy, mission statement, or driving business principles, generally the result of the company’s goals.
What is Business Process Management?
Business Process Management (BPM) is the management of an organization’s activities. It deals with improving efficiency and effectiveness throughout the scope of business activities. BPM integrates organizations around processes instead of departments, facilitating collaboration between people within an organization and also between individuals in different companies or institutions.

Considering Automating your Business?
5 Steps to Automate Business Processes:
Develop a functional area of operations list
Automation has the power to transform businesses—its ability to identify where an organization can make changes and remove human efforts opens up possibilities for cost savings and efficiency. But a lot of work, knowledge, and skills are needed before you can even begin to think about automating your processes. So, the first step in automating your business is to identify those functional areas of operations that are good candidates for automation. These departments could be sales, marketing, finance and accounting, and business operations of other areas.
Create a Standard Operation Procedures document (SOP)
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are a great way to standardize processes and create a repeatable workflow. Having clear SOPs can save time and money to make the process of performing tasks more efficient. An SOP is a document with the exact steps necessary to carry out and complete the responsibilities within a role. Getting employees to write SOPs for all of their desired tasks will help them work together more seamlessly and get better results as a team.
Make a list of repetitive tasks
To begin identifying repetitive tasks, review the SOPs employees have created. Then, spend time completing assignments according to the SOPs and determine if any repetitive steps can be eliminated or reduced. This opens a great opportunity to talk to your employees who have created the procedures to confirm their process and validate possible repetitive tasks.
Prioritize the areas you would like to automate
Consider operational improvements, the impact on customers and employees, and the business to choose what areas you want to start with. Evaluate the cost savings from reduced administrative time, reducing manual errors, and controlling variable costs. Prioritize the areas based on a scorecard evaluating each area’s impact throughout the company.
Choosing the right tools
There are a number of Business Automation Tools in the market for Business Automation. Some of these Business Automation Software are highly customizable and designed to work with existing business software. Others are simple workflow software or BPA software.
