Business process automation (BPA) is an organizational transformation that aims to drive efficiency, provide transparency and facilitate compliance for repeatable processes. 

BPA is becoming mandatory for the business organisation. It has large numbers of advantages.

Some of them are as follows.

Reducing the Impact of Human Error: BPA removes human participation in the process, which is the source of many errors.

Transforming Data into Information: BPA can, apart from collecting and storing data also analyze data and make it available in a form that is useful for decision-making.

Improving performance and process effectiveness: Automation of business processes removes the manual work in an organisation which and automating those manual tasks speeds up the effective throughput of the application.

Making users more efficient and effective: People can focus their energies on the tasks they do best, allowing the computers to handle those that machines are best suited for.

Making the business more responsive: Business can easily automate new applications and processes as they are introduced. 

Improving Collaboration and Information Sharing: Business processes designed through a collaborative interface mean Information Technology can integrate its processes with the business-side logic that drives day-to-day operations.
