Best Digital Process Automation (DPA) Software

Blue Bowen
BB
Researched and written by Blue Bowen

Digital process automation (DPA) software is an emerging market of tools containing features found in many technologies, including a number of process automation and rapid application development software technologies. These tools help companies develop completely automated, end-to-end case and process solutions. DPA platforms provide the tools necessary to build applications, trigger integrations, and manage the processes associated with virtually any digital workflow.

The underlying technology in DPA software is similar to that of low-code development and business process management tools. A key differentiator between DPA and other rapid application development tools is the role of the citizen developer. Users can often, but not always, build workflows and simple business applications using DPA platforms without any coding experience, while developers and designers can fine-tune functionality and appearance. But DPA tools are used as more of a digital transformation tool rather than a workplace innovation solution.

DPA tools provide unified cross-channel experiences for both internal and external purposes by coupling workflow automation and operational intelligence to improve efficiency across the board. Intelligent automation and case management technologies are combined to optimize orchestration and standardize user experience.

To qualify for inclusion in the Digital Process Automation (DPA) category, a product must:

Provide robotic and digital process automation capabilities
Facilitate end-to-end case management features
Incorporate some level of intelligent automation
Provide low-code application and workflow development capabilities

Learn More About Digital Process Automation (DPA) Software

What is Digital Process Automation (DPA) Software?

Digital process automation (DPA) software is a relative newcomer in the process automation space. In some regards, it is a continuation of, and improvement to, traditional business process management software, as it also helps define, automate, and report on processes that are intended to help optimize businesses to deliver on company goals. A key difference is that DPA involves an aspect of intelligence, or artificial intelligence, inasmuch as it is focused on providing an end-to-end solution to improve workflows and processes. As opposed to robotic process automation (RPA), which focuses on the automation of particular tasks, DPA provides a platform that is used to transform an entire business, providing an end-to-end approach to automation. These tools include the tools necessary to build applications, trigger integrations, and manage the processes associated with virtually any digital workflow. While these types of automation technologies are often perceived as fundamentally back-office solutions, successful companies are leveraging it for managing all aspects of workflow automation, including customer service, recruitment, leave management, and much more.

Key Benefits of DPA Software

  • Increase productivity, to allow workers to focus on higher-level, human-centric tasks
  • Boost efficiency by giving humans the automation tools they need to succeed
  • Improve accuracy through tried-and-tested automation that removes the possibility of human error

Why Use Digital Process Automation (DPA) Software?

Businesses often cite automation being too difficult and complicated to implement as a key concern. Therefore, many tremble in fear and do not even begin on their journey toward automation. However, the landscape provides easy-to-use, drag-and-drop friendly tools such as DPA software, which will quickly help business users get up and running with little to no IT support needed. By leveraging powerful and easy-to-use workflow automation software, one can look at business processes with a bird’s-eye view and streamline the processes that make up the core of a business. Instead of working on automating individual tasks, smart businesses are looking at revamping and transforming processes to change the way they are running their business as a whole.

Collaboration — Allows individuals or teams to work together to create workflows.

WorkflowsUsers can build simple or complex workflows, depending on their desired outcome as well as their skill level. Those looking to build more advanced workflows can typically use coding.

Potential Issues with Digital Process Automation (DPA) Software

Job displacement — With any automation tool, there is a risk and concern of the automation leading to job loss. Businesses must be aware of this challenge and have a duty to properly communicate the impact on employees.

Integration — Although by its very nature DPA integrates with a business’ existing systems, not all DPA software solutions can integrate with every other business software on the market, especially legacy ones.

Internal buy-in struggles — As with many forms of technological innovation, it can sometimes be a challenge to convince colleagues that it is necessary to implement a particular solution and that there must be a change to processes as they stand.
