Business process automation (BPA) leverages technology to transform manual processes into more efficient, cost-effective systems, moving tasks from physical documentation to centralized web-based solutions. Organizations can automate various processes, including financial reporting and contract management, leading to increased efficiency and visibility. Examples demonstrate how BPA effectively streamlines operations, ultimately helping businesses manage their workflows better.

2. WHAT IS
BUSINESS
PROCESS
AUTOMATION?
Leveraging Technology to transform and
streamline a manual process so that it
becomes more cost and time effective
It takes an everyday manual business
process, such a filing documents or on-
boarding new employees, and moves all
physical documents and related workflows
from filing cabinets to one centralized, web-
based system

3. HOW CAN IT
HELP YOU?
There are endless ways that a company can automate their processes,
and in the end, only you and the members within your organization can
determine what processes should be automated to increase efficiency
and reduce cost
You can automate processes to
manage:
Studies
Projects
Volunteer
s
Members
Documents
Legal Cases
Inventory
Employee
Collaboration
Contract Life-
cycle
Training
Scheduling
Reporting
...&
More!

4. EXAMPLE 1:
AUTOMATED
FINANCIAL
REPORTING
A Boston-based hospital network had an extremely inefficient
reporting process in compliance with the Tax Equity & Fiscal
Responsibility Act (TEFRA)
The Problem:
Hospitals are required to have physicians complete semi-annual
reports on the typical amount of hours they work and how those
hours are spent
The hospital network was using a manual paper-based form
distribution process
Administration staff would hand out, and then collect, the
necessary forms and manually compile the data to create reports
Inefficient, time-consuming process with little visability into data

5. EXAMPLE 1: AUTOMATED FINANCIAL
REPORTING
THE SOLUTION:
Web-based application where physicians can fill out forms and
hospital staff can generate reports
Streamlined and simplified the semi-annual process
Increased overall response rate and visibility into the data
Decreased the amount of time and effort spent collecting and
reporting on information

6. EXAMPLE 2:
REENGINEERED
CONTRACT
MANAGEMENT
The legal department of a global consumer goods manufacturing
company was experiencing inefficiencies in its manual management
processes
The Problem:
The manufacturing company was using a paper-based process to
draft and review agreements, and manage contracts throughout
their life-cycle.
Employees were spending a lot of time collecting the necessary
information and creating documents
Inefficient, time-consuming process
Little visability into contracts after execution

7. EXAMPLE 2: REENGINEERED
CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
THE SOLUTION:
Customized contract management system on a Microsoft
SharePoint platform allows employees to develop, manage, and
optimize contracts and related business relationships.
Streamlined the contract management process
Streamlined the once lengthy process

8. MORE IDEAS FOR AUTOMATION
Create an online portal for community volunteers to enable them to
access important information and resources.
Implement a document management system and move everything
from filing cabinets to one secure location
Utilizing an online employee directory in order to allow everyone
istant access to the teams contact information
Simplify project management with a system to help you manage
each project's tasks, deadlines, assignements, client information,
accounting inforation, and more in one place.
