Process automation with Workflow as Code has become a trend in the industry. But why is this technique becoming a "must have" for any company looking to improve its efficiency?

First thing's first…

What is process automation with WorkFlow as Code?

Process automation with WorkFlow as Code is a way to automate business processes using a programming language. This allows developers and operators to work together in the same language and simplifies the creation and maintenance of automation scripts.

Although it is advantageous to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the automation process can often be complicated and expensive. With WorkFlow as Code, custom workflows can be created to automate processes and reduce the effort and cost required.

Now let's understand a little...

What is Workflow as Code?

Workflow as Code is a technique used to automate business processes. It is based on the idea of codifying the rules and steps necessary to carry out a process so that it can be executed automatically. This allows processes to be executed more quickly and accurately, since they do not require, for the most part, human intervention. The automation of business processes is increasingly important in a world where competition is increasingly fierce.

Why should we automate our processes with WorkFlow as Code?

Have you ever worked on a project where everything was manual? Have you been frustrated trying to coordinate all the tasks and information involved to make sure everything is done correctly and efficiently? If so, then you have probably thought about automating some of the processes.

Process automation is a great way to reduce the margin of error. And when it comes to automation with WorkFlow as Code, the advantage is even more significant.

For executives...

Can I automate the processes in my company, being this small?

When we talk about automation, many people immediately think of large companies like Amazon or Google that have hundreds or even thousands of servers. But even small businesses and individuals can benefit from automation. For example, you can automate email traffic to save time and make sure important emails don't get lost in your inbox. Or you can automate the tracking, billing, and collections process so nothing falls by the wayside.

And for developers...

How can I from my role propose to automate the processes?

Well, for every time you've felt overwhelmed by the number of repetitive process-related tasks you have to perform in a day, you should consider automating some of the processes with WorkFlow as Code.

Automation can help you save time and effort, as you can set your code to run automatically when certain conditions are met. This means that you won't have to constantly monitor the process, the systems or manually make modifications… over and over again.

At KuFlow we think of everyone, but initially, developers, because we are developers and we know what they need.
