Automating a Business Process
Question
What are key issues to consider when automating a business process?Answer
I would recommend the following steps when considering automating a business process:
- Does this process carry a large cost and carry a high priority for reducing the cost compared to other processes?
- Can this process be eliminated? If not, can this process be redesigned and simplified? (Always perfect the design prior to attempting to automate)
- What are the best practices for performing this process?
- What is the best automation platform for performing this process?
- Is there existing software that be used for automating this process (almost always preferrable to "buy" rather than "build" unless the process is very strategic)
- Can this process be outsourced?
- Can this process be delegated?
