Automation is the systematisation of business processes designed to increase efficiency and effectiveness. Think about it as the ‘workflow’ of things.

Traditionally expensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software has only been available to large companies who can fund elaborate systems such as SAP. However what we found was that not all the expensive features were utilised. Compounding to the cost of such systems was the human effort required to maintain such expensive systems making it inaccessible to the small business.

DelCorp Data has an objective method to increase efficiency and effective by finding the business flow.

1. To start we identify the critical business processes
2. We find the human involvement that can be automated
3. We then discuss the required process with the business owner of what may be automated
4. We trial automated systems with monitoring systems

For many business owner’s automating repetitive tasks can and should be automated. However in a nutshell you don’t, as automating your business is a managing director’s personal decision.

Most businesses can benefit from automation, from receiving emails in a certain inbox to the notifying of staff of certain workflow processes when triggers are set off. Although we can automate things there are some who think that machines will replace humans, and this is ethically wrong. We don’t argue for or against automation’s purpose, what we see are efficiency and effectiveness reports and is the sole decision to process tasks or rely on human effort.

Most software can be automated, your business consultant will initially find the important aspects of you business. Once the critical components have been discovered we follow through software discovery.

Don’t worry your consultant will have the blueprint and you simply sit back and relax.
