Wondering when to use RPA vs BPM automation for your processes? TeccWeb understands how daunting this choice can be for companies. Each of these strategies provides incredible value to businesses in different capacities. Understanding these differences is pivotal in recognizing the unique capabilities they both bring to the table.  

In response to the insightful discussion about the nuances of automation in a previous blog post, we’d like to expand on the fundamental distinctions between Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Business Process Management (BPM) automation.

At TeccWeb, we recognize the value of both RPA and BPM and with our innovative product, TeccBot, we offer a unified solution that seamlessly combines the strengths of each.

Defining Automation in Digital Transformation

Integration technology is the process of making independently designed systems work together. It acts as a bridge between different applications, allowing them to push and pull data, orchestrate, and execute workflows. Automation is the end result of successful integration.

Businesses need to plan automation and integration strategies jointly. A unified approach starts with integration technologies and methods, with automation as the final goal. TeccBot can handle these key technologies end to end, setting up your business for success with an Enterprise Automation Platform.  

What Is RPA (Robotic Process Automation)?

RPA is a form of automation based on software robots (bots) or artificial intelligence (AI) agents.

What Is Business Process Management Automation?

BPM automation is a form of automation that streamlines and manages structured workflows and tasks. It leverages various technologies such as Point-to-Point (P2P), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), and Microservices/API. Additionally, the BPM framework often incorporates Data Hub Architecture to improve efficiency and integration between systems.
