Description: Provide an ongoing process to automate processes.
Objective: Manual business processes dominate most organizations. These manual processes, often the main avenue of performing work, have no ability to scale. Lack of end-to-end visibility into business processes result in "black holes" across organizational or departmental boundaries that breed a non-disciplined organization. To monitor the business activity, generating reports and Key Performance Indicator(s) is a heroic effort.

Most of these processes are unnecessarily manual, providing opportunities to significantly improve business capabilities. Automation of business processes helps to address some of the following issues:

  • An inability to scale to meet growing business volumes without significantly increasing staff.
  • Time lags between completed tasks that result an ineffective supply chain.
  • Data quality issues that result from the manual entry of data
  • The lack of a capability to effectively analyze and optimize current business process inefficiencies.

These processes can be automated in a progressive fashion, focusing first on either the most inefficient processes or those that are easiest to automate.

Inputs: Include:
  • Strategic Business Requirements
  • BusinessTime Model for Information Integration
  • Design and software artefacts from existing integration environment
Outputs: Include:
  • Improved integration infrastructure to progress towards "BusinessTime" model
