Business Process Automation

To fully realize the financial benefits and to maximize the value of information, organizations must put their content in motion. Over the years, the promise of Business Process Automation (BPA) has been significantly over-hyped. The corporate landscape is littered with failed process improvement and automation projects. Much of the blame for these failures can be placed on the flawed premise that, if one can automate a process, there will automatically be more benefit than cost. This led to detailed mapping of processes that were not critical and automation of ones that did not significantly drive business results.

Flatirons Solutions employs a very pragmatic approach to BPA. The key business processes and, more importantly, the critical points in the process where automation can significantly produce a business benefit, are quickly identified. Most critical business processes (a) depend on content, (b) require the interaction of multiple people and organizations, and (c) must be executed quickly and accurately. Flatirons Solutions has the experience, methods, and tools to facilitate the intersection of these objectives, while preserving the flexibility skilled employees need to add their valuable knowledge.
