Today’s fast-paced business scenarios are finding trust in hyper-automation and agile processes, which are buzzwords today. Hyper-automation is a term that describes the utilization of various automation tools to achieve intelligent automation. This approach incorporates technologies such as machine learning, artificial Intelligence, and robotic process automation (RPA) to scale and enhance automation initiatives. The technological disruptions, however, demand a speedy yet structured methodology for working.

Our two decades of experience suggest incremental changes in the adoption of automation solutions for digitalization are the most practical way to ensure successful implementations. Solid strategic planning and incremental implementation is the key to successful automation implementation and a faster ROI.

In-house modifications of the existing codes and monitoring development require technical expertise and are also time-consuming and expensive. The no-code approach can prove to be a savior.

WHAT IS NO CODE APPROACH?

No code: This approach builds on the visual approach. No-code automation platforms provide the capability for users, regardless of their technical background, to automate processes using intuitive graphical user interfaces, eliminating the need for conventional computer programming methods and facilitating better customization.

WHY SHOULD NON-IT ENTERPRISES THINK ABOUT ADOPTING NO-CODE APPROACH FOR THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Is it possible to grow over time with the same set of processes and tools? Well, surely not! As an enterprise scales higher, it needs to make modifications in its processes, which can temporarily affect the overall productivity and usability of the tools/ applications until those changes are adopted. However, introducing automation into the process can mitigate such hiccups, ensuring a seamless experience during scaling or migration. Success in the digital transformation journey is assured with strategic adoption. We have penned down the best practices of IPA implementation. An IPA solution that provides complete automation with no code facilities can be called a perfect solution for today’s ever-changing business scenarios. 

Some of the prominent scenarios where enterprises realize no-code solutions to be an aid:

Government compliance: Companies need to abide by the rules and mandates posed by government policies. These policies have a direct effect on the processes of a company. E-invoicing mandates and other major compliance changes in the policies have often caused enterprises to change their processes but not at the required pace or at an alarming cost. 

Internal policy changes: Internal mandates within the company to align with ESG goals require incremental yet assertive changes in the internal processes. Eg: Companies targeting the reduction of carbon footprint, adopted digitization and automatic approval systems to reduce the use of paper and resources. 

Lean Manufacturing policies: The lean manufacturing approach focuses on waste reduction and optimization of the production process. With lean management being a necessary way forward for the manufacturing sector, companies focus on practices that aim at automation and eliminating any process that does not add value to the customer-centric product approach. Such a business approach requires a low-code or no-code solution that can easily adopt changes required in the internal document and data management systems while still automating most of the process. 

BENEFITS

With the adoption of an IPA solution to streamline document management systems, enterprises need not grapple with changes but instead become adept. 

Empowering teams:

Automating processes instead serves as a catalyst that propels them to focus on analytics or value-driven tasks. “Empowering the workforce” blog delves deeper into this concept, showcasing how the integration of a No-code IPA solution not only enhances productivity but also fosters a sense of confidence and enthusiasm among employees as they embrace the potential of automation in their daily endeavors.

Save time and effort

The no-code solutions provide complete control to the non-technical staff for making modifications, enabling them to save time required in communicating with technical staff, tracking the development done, and seeking approvals. It empowers them to make modifications themselves, resulting in easier execution in 1/10th time otherwise taken.

Maintain Agility in the processes:

No code IPA solutions serve as a crucial Lego piece for business agility, equipping enterprises to swiftly adapt, evolve, and thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. With its advanced capabilities in automating complex tasks, streamlining processes, and harnessing data-driven insights, IPA empowers organizations to become agile and responsive to market demands. This technological prowess not only enhances operational efficiency but also boosts decision-making by providing real-time, accurate information.

Faster ROI:

Hyper-automation is a long-term goal for most companies and its incremental adoption approach is advisable for a successful and thriving hyper-automation implementation. But hyper-automation is surely not cheap and requires a constant pool of investments. This is where the no code proves to be useful as they provide faster ROI, reducing the load, and gaining faster recovery.  

Easy updating and maintenance:

The no-code solutions ensure that productivity is not hampered and there is no downtime in the production stage while you actively work on the tool. This is an important consideration in the hyper automation and agile methodology strategy as a tool/solution needs to work in conjunction with the needs of the other tools.

Security:

Depending on your enterprise’s business model it is essential to consider the security the no-code solutions offer. It is built on the premise of the service provider’s credibility to offer the required security as per your requirement and the underlying thought of non-technical training having a lower awareness of data protection or software protection.

CONCLUSION

No code automation solution represents a paradigm shift in the world of automation proving to be a powerful catalyst for discovering the true potential of businesses today. Rapid application development, greater agility, and cost-effectiveness are just the beginning. This approach offers to reduce the load of financial burden on the company while still offering myriad benefits to its users. Embracing the no-code and low-code revolution, businesses can soar to new heights of productivity, and success. The future of productivity and innovation awaits with these solutions. Are you ready to embrace it?
