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).
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.
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.

In the past decade, we have witnessed a significant shift in how organizations approach software development and process automation. The emergence of no-code and low-code platforms has democratized automation, enabling not only professional developers but also business users to design and deploy applications with minimal hand-coding.
By the early 1990s, the business world was experiencing seismic shifts. Fierce global competition, explosive growth in personal computing, and the relentless rise of automation technologies forced companies to ask: Is the way we've always done things still the best way? That's where Business Process Reengineering (BPR) stepped in, promising radical gains by reimagining—not just automating—core business processes from the ground up.
In the midst of rapid globalization, relentless competition, and new technology reshaping organizations, the 1990s have seen a management revolution: Business Process Reengineering (BPR). No longer is incremental change enough. To achieve breakthrough improvements in cost, quality, service, and speed, companies are tearing up old processes and starting fresh.
The 1980s are witnessing a technology-driven transformation in the way offices operate. As office automation (OA) technology gains momentum, businesses are increasingly adopting new tools—personal computers, electronic typewriters, copiers, and fax machines—to streamline workflows, reduce manual errors, and boost productivity. These innovations are not just changing daily operations but also redefining how organizations approach business process optimization.
The business world is abuzz with talk of automation. In the 1960s, forward-thinking companies are investing in new machines and computerized systems that promise to revolutionize office work. Powered by advances in mainframe computers, electronic data processing, and punch card technology, a new era of business process automation is underway.
