Driving Efficiency Through Smart Automation
Discover strategies to automate repetitive workflows and free up your team's time.
Automation earns its keep on the work that is repetitive, rule-based and high volume. Applied anywhere else it tends to add a layer rather than remove one.
The candidates are easy to spot once you look for them: tasks where a person reads a value from one screen and types it into another, and tasks that run to a fixed rule with no judgement attached.
Start with the copying
Re-keying is the cheapest thing to automate and the most reliably worth it, because it removes the errors as well as the hours. It also builds confidence for the larger changes that follow.
Automate the task nobody wants to own. Leave the judgement with the people who are paid for it.
