Workflow Automation: Why Businesses Need It and How Appian Helps

What Is Workflow Automation?

Workflow automation runs a series of tasks automatically, based on preset rules, without human interruption. In simple terms, it is the process of designing, deploying and automating rule-based tasks and business processes. Examples include:

• Auto-generated replies and emails
• Invoice generation
• Task creation and allocation
• Lead management
• Customer support
• Employee onboarding

Benefits of Workflow Automation

• Simpler designs and processes: The right software does the heavy lifting, so employees focus on decisions and actions. AI-powered BPM helps teams build processes step by step and reuse designs.
• Easy collaboration: Group collaboration, unified data and simpler communication lead to better results.
• Automation everywhere: From internal workflows to drip campaigns, RPA bots can take on repetitive work while people keep control where it matters.
