Accelerate Digital Transformation and Unlock Hyperautomation with Microsoft Power Platform
Get rid of disconnected solutions, fragmented processes, and high ownership costs by adopting hyperautomation with Microsoft Power Platform. One of the world’s leading petroleum companies saved over $30 million by implementing end-to-end hyperautomation using Microsoft Power Platform. That’s the kind of real, measurable impact today’s enterprises are chasing.
Organizations are facing mounting pressure to streamline operations, reduce costs, and innovate faster with the rise of new technologies. A paradigm shift from robotic process automation to hyperautomation, a strategy that brings together AI, machine learning, RPA, low-code development, and analytics into a unified ecosystem
Hyperautomation is a key enabler of the digital transformation, empowering businesses to automate complex processes, modernize operations, streamlining decision-making across the enterprise, and unlocking a new level of efficiency by harnessing the power of integrated automation and intelligence.
What Is Hyperautomation—and Why Does It Matter?
Hyperautomation is a modern approach to automating processes and tasks across an entire organization. It leverages advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotic process automation (RPA), low-code platforms, and more to achieve end-to-end automation.
The core objective of hyperautomation is to minimize human intervention, streamline operations, and build a more reliable, efficient, and adaptable business ecosystem. Microsoft offers a secure and scalable SaaS-based solution called the Power Platform to enable hyperautomation at scale.
Real-World Use Case: Hyperautomation in Vendor Onboarding
Let’s take the example of vendor onboarding in the manufacturing sector—a process typically involving multiple touchpoints and manual interventions. Here’s how Power Platform can streamline and automate the entire journey:
Power Pages
External vendors submit required data and documents via a secure, public-facing portal built with Power Pages.
AI Builder
Microsoft AI Builder analyzes, verifies, and validates the submitted data, providing intelligent recommendations.
Power Apps
Internal teams use Power Apps to review, qualify, and approve vendors, as well as to access records of approved vendors.
Power Automate
Automates approvals, notifications, and integrations with ERP and procurement systems.
Power BI
It enables real-time data analysis, visualization, and the creation of interactive dashboards and reports on vendor performance, onboarding status, and compliance metrics through dynamic reports.
Copilot Studio
A custom Co-Pilot Agent allows users to query vendor data and retrieve relevant insights instantly
The streamlined onboarding process cuts down errors, eliminates redundancies, and reduces cycle times from weeks to hours.
