Business process automation (BPA) is one of the most popular technologies for businesses looking to drive operational efficiency and increase productivity. Business leaders are frequently challenged by the speed of change in the market and customer demands.
In the BPA world, there is a saying “don’t make a cow path”. This means that implementing automation without first examining its flaws or examining ways to improve it can just lead to worse results. To achieve success, legal firms should approach process automation with an approach that is practical, thorough that starts small and scales up by initiating pilot projects. The definition of standard operating procedures and clearly defining roles for those who work with the technology, and making sure that employees are properly trained are all essential to a successful implementation.
