What is hyperautomation?

Recent research conducted by Gartner has identified hyperautomation as one of the top 10 strategic technology trends for the next three to 5 years.

What is hyperautomation?

Hyperatutomation is automating everything that can be automated within an organisation. To achieve this the use of multiple technologies, tools and platforms will be orchestrated. Examples of such technologies include:

• Business Process Management
• Business Process Automation
• Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)
• Low-Code tools

What is the difference between hyperautomation and business process automation?

There’s little to chose between the two. The term business process automation is referring to the digitisation of repetitive business tasks across multiple departments..

In contrast hyperautomation refers to the use of multiple tools to enable intelligent automation that will scale across an organisation.

Low-Code and hyperautomation

Hyperautomation is a requirement in many digital transformation plans and Low-Code platforms are an essential tool to automate your business processes. RPA tools fall short in this regard as they are used to automate processes which already exist, to improve operational efficiency.

Low-Code tools, such as PhixFlow, are used to help define hyperautomation, design and connect to workflows. They do this enabling users to develop applications that connect to multiple source systems, report and visualise data and automate, much faster than traditional development methods.
