Process automation on a new level with Microsoft Power Automate
Automating processes not only saves time and money, it can also fundamentally change the way businesses operate. With the right automation solution, new levels of efficiency can be achieved, employee productivity increased, and business growth accelerated. Microsoft Power Automate provides a platform that helps companies automate repetitive tasks and drive innovation.
A 2024 study by Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Microsoft, on the “Total Economic Impact™” (TEI) reveals impressive results: Companies that migrated to Microsoft Power Automate achieved a 248% return over three years and recouped their investment costs in just six months. The net present value (NPV) amounted to $39,85 million.
Increase efficiency through automation
Before the introduction of Power Automate, many companies struggled with complicated automation solutions that were difficult to integrate. Power Automate solves these problems by combining cloud- and AI-powered automation with a user-friendly interface. This allows both simple tasks and complex workflows to be made more efficient.
A major advantage of Power Automate is the reduction of repetitive tasks. Employees who deal with time-consuming tasks such as data entry or document processing were able to save an average of 200 working hours per year through the use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
Developers also benefit: Thanks to Power Automate's low-code technology, automations can be developed faster, reducing development time by 20%. This frees up more time for strategic projects that drive company growth.
Promoting a culture of innovation
By democratizing automation, Power Automate empowers even non-technical users to improve business processes. Thanks to user-friendly tools like drag-and-drop functionality and pre-built API integrations, employees can create automations without any programming knowledge. This opens up new possibilities for optimizing processes across teams and departments and further increasing efficiency.
Extend automation with Power Apps
Many business processes require collaboration between different departments. This is where the integration of Power Apps comes in, enabling customized, user-friendly applications in conjunction with Power Automate. This ensures seamless communication and even greater productivity gains.
Through increased automation, companies were able to increase the amount of working time saved from 200 to 450 hours per employee per year. Furthermore, the percentage of employees involved in automation processes grew from 25% in the first year to 66% in the third year.
Conclusion: Utilizing the full potential of automation
The Forrester study illustrates how companies can achieve operational excellence, reduce costs, and strengthen their competitiveness with Power Automate. Power Automate enables companies to increase productivity, foster innovation, and unlock the full potential of their employees.
