So what exactly is hyper-automation?
In simple terms 'Hyper-Automation' is going beyond plain RPA. In RPA, the bot just mimics what a human would do.
But in hyper-automation, along with the RPA tool, we use other technologies like AI/ML, workflow engine, rules engine to automate E2E process flows. Thus we make the business process more streamlined and robust ---- essentially better than what the human was doing.
Even Process Discovery Tools are considered to be an important part of the hyper-automation journey. Process Discovery Tools enable us to understand the current state business processes and offers suggestions on streamlining it. It does not make sense to automate a fragmented process, but we should first streamline the process, remove redundancies and then automate it.
Example - A bot reading an unstructured email and understanding its intent, extracting relevant data points from it (AI) and completing the requested transaction via a desktop app (RPA).
