Process Automation
Improve inefficient processes and operations with reliable, repeatable, error-free automation.
Many organizations are looking for ways to maximize time and cost efficiencies as
well as reduce risk caused by human error. One of the most effective means for improving
time, reducing costs, and mitigating this risk is through automation within an organization’s
file transfer eco-system. As most IT departments have learned, homegrown automation
solutions, such as custom scripts written by various programmers, do not provide
the reliability, audit trails, management, or even scalability required in today’s
tight regulatory and security environment. Companies need to seamlessly move files
into back-end systems while providing full audit tracking, robust monitoring capabilities,
and the ability to react to anomalies as quickly as possible. Without a robust automation
platform that provides an easy-to–use, end-to-end solution, the automation process
becomes difficult to implement and costly to maintain.
GlobalSCAPE is pleased to offer the same automation solution that has been embedded
as an Advanced Workflow Engine (AWE) module to its Enhance File Transfer (EFT) Server™
solution for automating processes beyond the FTP Server.
AutoMate
AutoMate automates manual tasks and streamlines processes. Focusing primarily
on desktop or single machine environments it replaces legacy batch files, scripts
and custom application development, enabling complete IT process automation without
writing a single line of code.
AutoMate sets higher standards when it comes to functionality, ease of use, configurability,
and cost as compared to other systems that are either very large, very expensive,
or both. It is the only product of its kind that offers the type of power typically
found in large enterprise systems along with the simplicity found in applications
with much less functionality. This marriage between power and simplicity creates
the ideal Business Process Automation solution for the mid-market.
AutoMate Business Process Automation (BPA) Server
AutoMate BPA Server is an automation platform for Windows. It is multi-tiered,
meaning it logically separates high-level workflow design from the complexity of
building detailed automation routines. It provides centralized control over event-driven
automation routines involving one computer or the entire enterprise.
BPA focuses on streamlining, optimizing, and automating the key processes that drive
value for an organization and its customers without expensive programming. It enables
organizations to design, execute, monitor, and continuously improve business processes
that span organizational boundaries and computer networks. BPA software detects
and proactively responds to events (i.e., changes in data, systems, and networks),
so organizations that employ it are generally more nimble and responsive to change.
From small jobs on workstations to network-wide intelligent automation routines,
BPA enables users to free themselves from repetitive tasks.
In summary, these automation products drive real business value by:
- Streamlining inefficient processes and operations with reliable, repeatable, error-free
automation
- Orchestrating high-level, strategic initiatives involving multiple departments,
systems, and applications
- Centralizing the management, control, and security of automation across the enterprise
- Enabling a wide range of automation imperatives encompassing data aggregation, application
integration, system/application/network monitoring and problem resolution, disaster
recovery, file/data backup, and much more
- Reducing process delays caused by computer downtime or employee off-time
- Eliminating errors introduced by process delays and repetitive worker activities
- Giving knowledge workers access to fresher, more accurate data so they can make
better, more informed decisions
- Providing a platform for enhanced collaboration between business users and technical
personnel for continuous process improvement
- Making organizations more nimble and agile so they can respond to changes quickly
- Enhancing process compliance capabilities for improved adherence to government and
industry regulations and requirements
- Optimizing the key processes that attract business, regardless of existing infrastructure
and legacy applications
- Eliminating the need for one-off scripts and code dispersed across the enterprise
- Improving workforce productivity by eliminating costly, repetitive, and mundane
activities
