Business Automation Works (BAW)
ATOmate has automated so many processes and we are now able to assign staff to more meaningful tasks rather than sorting out paper documents.
In saying that, there are times when manual intervention is required like sending out a big payment required.

Well Suited Scenarios IBM Cloud Pak shines in scenarios where complex workflows, such as project management in web design, require automation.

Return on Investment
Business Automation Works (BAW)
  • ATOMATE has allowed us to redeploy admin staff to different tasks and we have been cable to expand without needing more staff
  • The only downside to it is the admin staff used to keep excel sheets that would be checked off every quarter and the partners used that sheet to keep track of their workflow
  • We no longer have to wait for paper correspondence from the ato as most gets picked up by ATOmate
