How is Power Automate Strengthening Business Process Innovation and Automation?

Organizations are increasingly moving towards business process automation tools. With a promise to minimize production costs and eliminate repetitive tasks, automation ensures increased productivity and profitability.

The global business process management market is escalating to new heights of growth and is statistically captured by Research and Markets, as it is expected to grow to USD 61.17 billion in 2030 from USD 14.46 billion in 2022, reflecting a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%.

However, there is still a large chunk of organizations that have not shifted to automation tools. Of the many reasons holding the company from achieving true greatness, Microsoft Power Automate remains a proficient tool, staying true to its tagline: “Take care of what’s important. Automate the rest.”

Power Automate is a single, end-to-end, intelligent automation platform that holistically combines robotic process automation (RPA) and digital process automation (DPA). Microsoft Build 2023 announced new updates, enabling organizations to automate and orchestrate business processes.

Describe it to Design it- Copilot in Power Automate

The inclusion of Copilot in Power Automate accelerates low-code application development. The design it to describe it feature allows users to write a simple text-based description and get a workflow based on that.

Boosting efficiency and digitizing tedious business processes, it now takes 50% of the time to create a workflow. A step up in the evolution of code abstractions, Power Automate allows humans and machines to work together and build transformations in a naturally understandable language.

Robotic Process Automation Custom Actions

Microsoft Power Platform offers several drag-and-drop actions allowing the users to interact with the desktop’s UI, so you can automate legacy apps and systems. Powered by robotic process automation (RPA), developers can create custom actions to speed up their development process. The templates present in Microsoft Visual Studio allow developers to kick-start action creation as well as include them in desktop flows.

The two template options are the Power Automate Empty Module and the Power Automate Sample Module.

Microsoft Power Automate hosted RPA: Scale Automation with Ease

Setting up the infrastructure of robotic process automation can be a time-consuming process. The entire process can take days to complete. However, with Microsoft Power Automate, developers can deliver a consistent setup experience, making it faster and easier to set up and manage the RPA for your organization. This low-code tool allows you to build with a few parameters and continues to build, test, and run large-scale automation in minutes.

Moreover, the hosted machines are a single machine, sufficient to support a broad range of business processes. Once the testing is complete, developers can begin building the desktop flow, by assigning it to the hosted machine group that distributes and scales the automation workload based on demand.

Spikes in demand are an ongoing concern, and adopting Microsoft Power Automate helps businesses resolve these challenges. However, planning for these anomalies can be a challenging and complex process.

In times when additional capacity is required, Power Automate allocates a large pool of machines to support the peak-load processes, resulting in low average machine utilization and higher costs. Bots are created virtual machines running in Azure to scale and run simultaneously.

• Improve efficiency with dynamic load balancing
• Monitor your RPA queue and optimize your environment

In times, when there are no bots available, a new bot is created automatically and assigned to a new workload and cater to the need.

Automating Business Workflows and Operating Efficiently

The intuitive and scalable capabilities of Power Automate allow organizations to automate workflows and operate efficiently.

Workflow Automation

Power Automate has around 300 connectors allowing end-users, professional users, and IT experts to create automated processes. The use of low-code and drag-and-drop tools allows users to automate repetitive, mundane tasks.

Productivity and Efficiency

Organizations continue to stumble across a multitude of complexities. Some of the most common and repetitive ones can be automated, enabling everyone to do their job without having to wait for information or request additional access. In this way, Microsoft Power Automate reduces time-consuming tasks and the occurrence of errors from manual entry.

Security and Compliance

Data security holds immense importance as it involves the handling and transmission of sensitive or personal information. With a focus on enterprise-grade governance and customizable data loss prevention policies, it allows users to access secure, cloud-based identity and management services via Active Directory Integration.

Intelligent Automation

Power Automate utilizes AI Builder, a Power Platform capability that provides AI models designed to optimize business processes. It builds, trains, and publishes your AI models with AI Builder’s prebuilt templates.

Do Less, Automate More!

The comprehensive automation capabilities of Power Automate directly help businesses strengthen their processes and focus on more strategic and value-added activities.

• Increases efficiency and productivity
• Enhances data accuracy and reduces errors
• Faster turnaround times
• Improved customer experience

Moreover, the AI-powered expertise of Power Automate helps transform industries to become centers of excellence. While a manual migration may take 4-6 weeks and cost up to $20,000 per process, Power Automate can be a far quicker process.

• Intelligent Document Processing: AI algorithms automatically extract relevant information from unstructured documents (invoices or contracts), thereby eliminating manual data entry and accelerating document processing and analysis.
• Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants automate customer support and engagement processes. The use of natural language provides instant responses, and handles routine inquiries, freeing up human resources for more complex tasks.
• Fraud Detection and Risk Management: AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and anomalies associated with fraudulent activities. Organizations can mitigate risks and protect their assets by automating fraud detection and risk management processes.

As the technological landscape continues to evolve, Power Automate holds immense power, with the inclusion of machine learning and natural language processing to enable even more sophisticated automation systems.
