There’s no shortage of issues that keep business leaders awake at late at night: competition, regulatory risk, client demands, and more. Many business leaders are overlooking the opportunity to automatize processes. This can cut down turnaround times, eliminate mistakes as well as increase efficiency and profits and more.
Automating a process is the process of moving a tedious, manual, step-bystep process into a straightforward and streamlined digital form, or function, that is activated when data is entered, or by another event. This allows workers to concentrate their efforts on more meaningful tasks which improves employee satisfaction and strengthen customer relationships.
For instance lawyers may have a long-running workflow that requires the gathering and reviewing of a variety of documents, including engagement letters as well as court pleadings, agreements and contracts. Creating automated workflows that route these items homepage to the right person at the appropriate time can help you complete more billable work in a day, while reducing the risk of compliance and providing customers with a quicker and personalized service.
Understanding the workflow in place is crucial to automating processes. A systematic and thorough approach allows businesses to avoid wasting time on complex and non-critical processes, while also gaining confidence in automation technologies. The first step is to determine if an activity is valuable and to determine how easy it would be to integrate into an automated workflow.
