Business process automation (BPA) is the practice of using technology to automate repeatable, rule-based tasks within a business process. It involves automating complex business transactions that are typically multistep and repetitive. BPA eliminates the need for manual and repetitive tasks, resulting in reduced human effort and enhanced operational efficiency. By integrating software applications and systems, BPA streamlines workflows, improves accuracy and reduces errors, enhances cost savings, provides scalability and adaptability, and improves customer service. BPA has multiple use cases across diverse business functions, including sales & marketing, human resources, finance & accounting, and customer service. While RPA focuses on automating specific tasks with precision and speed, BPA takes a holistic view of business processes and brings a collaborative approach to tie them all together.
