Business Process Automation

Home / Business Process Automation

Automate the process, not just the clicks.

We start with the process, find where work actually stalls, then automate with the lightest mechanism that holds — workflow, decision rules, RPA or document AI.

The practice

From process discovery to straight-through processing.

Most automation programmes fail because they encode a broken process. We map the real path a case takes — including the exceptions people handle by email — before choosing any tooling.

Delivery runs on IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation: workflow, decisions, content, RPA and process mining in one governed platform, deployed on OpenShift or IBM Cloud.

01

Process discovery & mining

Event-log analysis and workshops that quantify cycle time, rework and the true cost of each exception path.

02

Workflow & case management

Modelled in BAW with SLAs, escalation and audit — human tasks and system tasks in one orchestration.

03

Decision automation

Business rules externalised so policy changes are a business edit, not a release.

04

RPA & document AI

Bots and OCR for the systems that have no API, with straight-through rates measured per document class.

How an engagement runs

PHASE 01

Assess

Two to three weeks. Process baseline, automation candidates ranked by payback.

PHASE 02

Design

Target process model, integration contracts, exception handling and control points.

PHASE 03

Build & pilot

One high-volume process to production, instrumented so the business case is verifiable.

PHASE 04

Scale & run

Factory pattern for subsequent processes, plus managed operations if you want it.
