5 Steps for Navigating Complex Business Processes YOUR AUTOMATION POSSIBILITIES Do you have any “paper heavy” processes? Is there a paper form that gets routed to different process participants as part of the process? Do your process workers waste time looking for forms or documents they need to complete a specific step? Does the process require manual duplication of data? Where maybe an address has to be manually copied from one system to another? Do your processes “hang” because one of the process workers didn’t receive an that tells them to proceed with the next step? Are there other “routine” tasks that are very time consuming or can halt the process in its tracks if the task owner is out of the office or simply forgets one day?
