SUMMARY
- What it is: Hyperautomation = AI/LLMs + RPA + iPaaS + process & task mining orchestrated end-to-end with governance.
- What it does: Cuts AHT/MTTR, increases STP (straight-through processing), reduces cost per case, and boosts accuracy & compliance.
- How to start: Mine → model → automate → measure. Begin with 3–5 high-volume, rule-heavy workflows and ship measurable ROI in 90 days.
1) The 2025 definition (no fluff)
Hyperautomation is an operating model that continuously discovers, designs, automates, and optimizes business workflows using a composable stack:
- AI/LLMs for understanding documents, generating steps, routing intents, and powering copilots.
- RPA for UI/API task automation where systems lack clean integrations.
- iPaaS/Workflow for robust, monitored, versioned integrations.
- Process/Task Mining for discovery, conformance, and ROI targeting.
- Orchestration & Governance for runbooks, approvals, secrets, and audit.
2) Core stack & what “best-in-class” looks like
AI / LLM layer
- Doc IQ: OCR + layout + NER, confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop (HITL).
- Copilots & runbooks: RAG over policy/knowledge base; structured outputs (JSON/YAML); tool allowlists; audit.
- Policy guardrails: PII redaction, prompt/version control, fallbacks.
RPA layer
- Hybrid bots: API-first with UI fallback; resilient selectors; secretless connections.
- Bot ops: central queueing, blue/green deployment, SLA-aware retry, run cost telemetry.
iPaaS / Workflow
- Enterprise connectors: ERP/CRM/HRIS/payments; error handling; idempotency; DLQs; versioned flows; IaC.
Process & Task Mining
- Event ingestion: ERP logs, clickstreams; conformance dashboards; automation heatmaps; bottleneck & variance views.
Orchestration & Security
- Workload engine: long-running sagas, compensation, escalation.
- Controls: RBAC/ABAC, approval matrices, secrets vault, separation of duties, change management.
3) 12 high-ROI use cases (pick 3 to start)
Finance: AP invoice intake & 3-way match • Vendor onboarding (KYC/AML) • Cash app & dispute resolution
Sales/RevOps: Lead dedupe/enrichment • Quote-to-cash sanity checks • Usage-based billing validation
Customer Ops: Email/chat intent routing • Refund/return triage • RMA creation with fraud checks
IT/Operations: Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) • Ticket triage/auto-resolve • Cloud cost anomaly handling
Supply Chain: ASN/PO mismatch resolution • Carrier exception processing
4) ROI model (plug & play)
Inputs: annual volume, touch time (mins), error rate, rework %, hourly fully-loaded rate, licensing/infra cost.
Savings per workflow ≈(Volume × Touch Time × %Automated × Hourly Rate) + (Volume × Error Rate × Rework Time × Hourly Rate)
Minus platform + ops costs.
Targets to beat (first 90 days):
- STP +30–60% on structured cases
- AHT −40–70% on assisted cases
- Errors −50–80% where AI reads forms/contracts
- Payback: 3–6 months on a 3-workflow pilot
5) Architecture patterns that reliably work
- Mining → Design → Automate → Measure loop: mine real logs, design the “to-be,” automate with AI/RPA/iPaaS, measure KPIs, repeat monthly.
- Human-in-the-loop (HITL) stations: gate ambiguous AI outputs; capture corrections as training data.
- Dual rails: iPaaS for known system calls; RPA only for gaps/legacy.
- GenAI runbooks: LLM produces a structured plan → policy engine approves → actions executed via iPaaS/RPA with verification/rollback.
- Observability: per-transaction trace, cost/time budget, and outcome labels (success/exception/rework).
6) Governance & risk (ship these controls)
- Data: PII minimization, redaction, retention per policy; dataset lineage for models.
- Change control: version prompts/bots/flows; promote via environments; blue/green for bots.
- Security: least privilege; vault-issued creds; approval matrices for money moves & master-data writes.
- Quality: sampling, double-key verify for high-risk docs, measurable precision/recall targets for AI extractors.
- Compliance: audit trail (who/what/when/why), SoD on finance and HR flows.
7) Buyer’s guide (platform suites vs composable)
- Suite approach: one vendor for mining + RPA + workflow + AI add-ons → faster time-to-value, tighter ops, vendor lock-in risk.
- Composable approach: specialized tools per layer (mining/iPaaS/RPA/LLM) → best-of-breed, higher integration lift.
Regardless of path, require: Open APIs/webhooks, OpenTelemetry traces/logs, IaC/CLI, RBAC/MFA, cost & rate limits, and export of per-case KPIs.
8) 30 / 60 / 90-day rollout
Days 1–30 — Prove value
- Pick 3 workflows: high volume, structured inputs, clear SLAs (e.g., AP invoices, email→case, JML).
- Mine event logs; baseline AHT/STP/error.
- Ship v1 automations: AI extract → human verify → iPaaS writeback; measure weekly.
Days 31–60 — Harden & scale
- Add exceptions/routing; promote confidence thresholds; enable auto-approve for low-risk items.
- Introduce GenAI runbooks for triage/diagnosis and safe two-step remediations (action→verify).
- Stand up dashboards for STP, AHT, exceptions, rework, savings.
Days 61–90 — Operate
- Expand to 5–8 workflows; implement change windows, SoD approvals, and quarterly model reviews.
- Start cost allocation per bot/flow; tune to target payback.
9) KPIs that make the board smile
- STP (%), AHT (mins), Cost per case ($), First-pass yield (%)
- Exception rate and rework hours
- Cycle time (request→done), Backlog age, On-time SLA (%)
- $ Savings vs baseline; Payback (months); NPS/CSAT where relevant
10) Common pitfalls (and quick fixes)
- Automating bad processes: fix with conformance + remove variants before botting.
- RPA everywhere: prefer iPaaS/APIs; reserve RPA for true gaps.
- Unbounded GenAI: force structured outputs + tool allowlists + HITL.
- No observability: trace every transaction; tag fails with root cause.
- Shadow automation: central backlog, standards, and review board.
