I spent years building Jira workflows. Custom statuses, validators, post-functions, conditions — the whole machinery. Some of them were elegant. Most of them worked. All of them eventually became obstacles.
This is not a rant about Jira. It is a diagnosis.
Hyperautomation has become one of the most influential topics in the business process landscape this year. With rapid advancements in AI, machine learning, and automation platforms, organizations are moving beyond task-based automation to the orchestration of entire end-to-end workflows. As we settle into 2024, it’s clear that hyperautomation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a strategic imperative for future-focused businesses.
The past year has tested the agility and endurance of businesses worldwide. As organizations scrambled to adapt to remote work, disrupted supply chains, and fluctuating customer demands, one technology moved from "nice to have" to outright necessity: Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
If you’ve spent any time exploring digital transformation trends in recent months, one phrase keeps coming up: no-code automation. This movement has rapidly gained momentum throughout 2023, and it’s fundamentally changing how organizations streamline operations, innovate, and compete.
In 2022, as organizations worldwide rebounded from pandemic disruptions, the focus on digital transformation reached new heights. One term began capturing discussion in boardrooms and IT strategy meetings alike: hyperautomation. Businesses eager to leap ahead found themselves rethinking not only what could be automated, but how far automation could go toward optimizing every operational layer.
In just a few years, automation has moved from simple back-office bots to sophisticated organization-wide initiatives. In 2022, the term "hyperautomation" hit the mainstream, re-shaping how business leaders think about end-to-end process improvement and the pace of digital transformation.
In 2022, no-code automation has become one of the hottest topics in the world of business process optimization. As organizations accelerate their digital transformation efforts, a new class of problem-solvers has emerged: the citizen developer. With intuitive tools like Airtable, Zapier, and Microsoft Power Automate, non-technical professionals are building, modifying, and automating workflows—in days, not months.
It’s no secret: automation has become a fixture in modern business operations. But in 2021, a new and ambitious trend began capturing attention—hyperautomation. More than a buzzword, hyperautomation pushed organizations to go beyond task-based automation, aiming for end-to-end transformation of entire business processes.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has quickly risen from niche technology to a mainstream business tool in 2020. As organizations face mounting pressure to increase efficiency and reduce costs, RPA offers a practical, proven path to automate routine processes—even in uncertain times.
In 2020, with organizations navigating digital transformation at an unprecedented pace, workflow automation is emerging as a game-changer. By orchestrating tasks, approvals, and communications across teams and systems, workflow automation promises to reduce bottlenecks, improve accuracy, and free employees to focus on higher-value work.
