What is the platform?
The IBM Automation Platform for Digital Business is an integrated platform of five automation capabilities that help business people drive virtually all types of automation projects at speed and scale.
You can automate repetitive human tasks, content management, process workflows, data capture and business decisions with the platform’s flexible, integrated capabilities.
What would you like to automate?
The platform capabilities purposefully address five key areas that exist in every organization and where automation provides clear benefits.
Tasks – Use bots to automate human tasks
Record and automate repetitive human tasks to automate mundane work, eliminate copy-and-paste and data entry errors, and free employee time to do higher-value work.
Content – Share and manage enterprise content
Provide highly secure and compliant management of most types of content, support instant access to content, connect content to digital business applications and help assure governance and compliance.
Workflow – Design and manage end-to-end workflows
Model, automate, change, monitor, and optimize core business processes to improve consistency across tasks and processes, increase productivity, and increase straight-through processing.
Capture – Capture, classify and extract data from content
Digitize business documents, so you can classify those documents and extract important data from them, reduce or eliminate manual entry and errors, increase efficiency and productivity, and automate the extraction of insights from unstructured data.
Decisions – Automate decisions with business rules
Capture, automate and manage business rules to encourage rapid adaptation to change, increase the consistency and auditability of decisions, and detect problem situations in real time.
Intelligent automation starts with operational insights
Businesses are drowning in operational data, and leaders are challenged to turn that data into insight and action. As you start your journey to intelligent automation by leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in your business operations, you first need to centralize your operational data. With IBM Business Automation Insights, you can:
- Capture end-to-end business data from the IBM Automation Platform for Digital Business
- Visualize operational data with pre-built or user-configured dashboards for real-time visibility into your business operations
- Measure the performance based on collected metrics
- Act on your centralized operational data by using machine learning to improve operations
Flexible deployment options to meet your needs
With flexible deployment options, featuring common tools and capabilities across all hosting environments, you can deploy and run the automation platform in the environment that best meets your needs: your cloud, the IBM Cloud, on-premise or any combination of the three.
