A workflow is a set of connected actions (tasks) required to accomplish a job. Traditional workflows are often human-centric, with people approving, submitting, reviewing, and confirming.

Outdated workflow solutions are fading away and new types of workflow platforms are emerging, and here are the key drivers of change.

• Evolving tech stack and growing apps
• High data utilization

TRADITIONAL WORKFLOW/BPM/TASK AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS RELY ON EXPERTS TO MANUALLY CREATE AND INTEGRATE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, THE TECHNOLOGY STACKS USED BY ORGANIZATIONS ARE EVOLVING AND THE NUMBER OF WORK TOOLS IS GROWING, SO SOLUTIONS THAT REQUIRE DESIGN AND CODING ARE NOT IDEAL.

Second, data has become an integral part of every business activity. The workflow we want is one where data is fed to a variety of business tools so that they can automatically do what we want them to do, and the data we want is accessible and available to us in real time.

Emerging workflow platforms that fulfill the above requirements are essential for the following reasons.

1. efficiency

The business world is becoming increasingly complex. More people are juggling multiple, complex tasks every day. Having dozens of tools at your fingertips every day can lead to marginal utility, loss of importance and prioritization, and difficulty getting to the really important tasks and decisions.

2. Data integration

Automating workflows that tie data together can actually reduce costs and time significantly. However, today's technology stacks and data are complex and ever-changing. If you develop your own or use an ill-fitting solution for data integration, the complexity can outweigh the benefits.

3. Hyper-automation

Full automation is already being adopted in many areas. It's evolving toward removing humans from processes, and automated workflows are at the core of how businesses operate.

4. a person is the subject of utilization in data processing.

Your company processes data, and people are doing a lot of the work. It's time to rethink the way we work. Data processing should be automated and people should focus on utilizing the data.
