RPA mission is automation of processes. BPM focus is on process modeling and management. If RPA is done without BPM, it implies unmanaged processes.

Implementing RPA without BPM is direct way to erasing control in an organization. On [...]

Crucial and often missed factor of success for an automation initiative is careful evaluation of process interaction with other processes.

Perhaps, one of the worst and most deeply rooted practices in BPM is doing it without established methodology.

Amount of diagram links and modeling levels usually associate with maturity of [...]
