If a low-code development platform wants to implement complex business processes, the following conditions must be met.
1. What Is Automation?
There are two main types of automation. The difference comes mainly from AI, which is based on the benefits of the upcoming technology. For example, it generates digital data, which is the driving force of machine learning.
Automation is the key to improving efficiency, reducing human error and reducing operating costs. Repetitive work will require fewer workers, and more employees will focus on strategic decision-making and creative problem solving.
2. The 2 Types of Automation Technology
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
RPA can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks with little added value (for example, faster data entry). It can reduce costs without changing the infrastructure.
- Business process automation (often referred to as business process management or BPM)
And BPM is the automation of end-to-end business processes (for example, more accurate decision-making). BPM is usually the strategic foundation of an organization's digital transformation.
In general, low-code automation capabilities can more prompt companies that rely on repetitive processes to evaluate how to improve efficiency. They will need to retrain and redistribute employees to assume roles that can leverage their experience and institutional knowledge with strategic capabilities.
