It is time to leapfrog forward on digital or be left behind forever. More and more business leaders are acknowledging this fact and as a result, we are seeing rapid adoption of smart automation technologies, including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The proven benefits of these technologies and their ability to drive real digital transformation have encouraged businesses to test the waters, and many of them have seen early success. In fact, RPA is a tool that can deliver RoI in just a few weeks or months instead of years as compared to other traditional solutions. But those who have seen early success have also encountered a few limitations.
One of the limitations is an inability to achieve sustained long-term value with the RPA-only automation approach.
RPA is a great tool to automate mundane, rules-based tasks but cannot deliver long-term value if used as a standalone technology. This limitation has compelled organizations to shift gears from RPA to Hyperautomation. Industries ranging from financial services to logistics are increasingly relying on Hyperautomation technologies to be able to automate more and achieve a long-term sustained value.
Hyperautomation, a more disciplined approach towards business results, enables you to combine a set of complementary technologies to automate more processes end-to-end.
The Hyperautomation approach allows you to expand automation beyond RPA-eligible processes by using complementary technologies such as AI, Business Process Management (BPM), process mining, and many more tools.
With Hyperautomation, you can automate more and more tasks within an end-to-end process, achieving even more value that has a lasting impact on the overall business.
In this blog, we will look at some of the predictions and findings revealed by Gartner, a leading research and advisory firm, in its report, ‘Predicts 2021: Accelerate Results Beyond RPA to Hyperautomation’.
These findings, we believe, will help you to take the right approach so that you succeed in your automation goals.

Developing a “product management mindset” and investing in hyperautomation initiatives and technologies are some of the key recommendations by Gartner to adapt to the future of work.

Gartner definition of Robotic Process Automation:
“Robotic process automation (RPA) is a productivity tool (sold as licensed software) that allows a user to configure one or more bots (which act as scripts to activate specific keystrokes). These bots overlay on one or more software applications. The result is that the bots can mimic or emulate selected tasks within an overall business or IT process. These may include manipulating data, passing data to/from different applications, triggering responses or executing a transaction.”
Gartner definition of Hyperautomation:
“Business-driven hyperautomation is a disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify, vet and automate as many business and IT processes as possible. Hyperautomation involves the orchestrated use of multiple technologies, tools or platforms. Examples of these include AI, machine learning, event-driven software architecture, robotic process automation (RPA), BPM/iBPMS, integration platform as a service (iPaaS), low-code or no-code tools, packaged software and other types of decision, process and task automation tools.”
