Business Process Automation solutions streamline existing business processes by eliminating inefficient steps, resulting in improved cash flow. For example, faster and more accurate delivery of invoices will typically result in short cash conversion cycles due to faster payment.

Automating the purchasing process provides immediate benefits for buying organizations such as government agencies through better payment terms, better pricing, lower labor costs, and less errors.
Many business processes grind to a halt at the point where human intervention is required to handle business documents. Before taking the leap towards full automation, significant gains are achievable by simply automating existing processes such as sending faxes.
Business Process Automation solutions can help with the wide range of government-mandated programs involving significant documentation that must be submitted to regulating authorities. They can also help ensure that document management solutions comply with relevant regulations governing how documentation is handled, such as the data privacy provisions of the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the healthcare industry.
Automating the process of exchanging business documents with business partners ensures effective e-business and supply chain collaboration. Business Process Automation solutions can delivery business documents in the most appropriate format at the correct time to business partners.
The first step towards full electronic business communication is to automate sending documents, through fax or Mail on Demand. Organizations can then gradually shift more and more businsess documents to electronic format as the opportunity arises. Partners and customers can be switched over to electronic formats as soon as they are ready. New services can progressively be introduced based on the extra flexibility that Business Process Automation solutions provide.
