In today’s highly competitive business environment, organisations seek new ways to streamline their operations. One of the most highly sought-after solutions for streamlining business processes is robotic process automation. Most of us refer to it by the acronym ‘RPA’.

Organisations can utilise multiple platforms to implement RPA solutions. Electroneek, UiPath, BluePrism, and Microsoft Power Automate are the most popular platforms. As the title suggests, Agile Managex Technologies will only focus on Microsoft Power Automate for now.

Why should you prefer this platform over others? The better question is, when should you opt for Power Automate over others? This discussion aims to address this question. Before we delve into the details, let us discuss the platform in more detail. It will give you a brief overview of what to expect.

What is Microsoft Power Automate?

Experienced professionals would remember this software by a different name. Previously, the product was marketed as Microsoft Flow. It is a cloud-based software which allows individuals to automate manual processes. To create an RPA solution, the user must only specify what to do after a specific event occurs.

One of the best things about Microsoft Automate is that it connects with a wide variety of applications, such as Salesforce, Twitter, and Gmail. But this is not even the best part. What makes Power Automate a truly reliable tool is its ease of use. Even individuals without any technical knowledge can use it to create automated flows.

The above figure shows the easy-to-use platform. Users can create an RPA solution without any hassle. Now, the most common question from businesses is that if the platform is easy to use, why doesn’t everyone use it? This question is what the entire discussion will revolve around.

Who Should Use Power Automate?

1. Organisations Looking to Implement Budget-Friendly RPA Solutions

Microsoft Power Automate is indeed a robust and reliable tool. Large organisations require a platform that they can scale throughout the organisation. This platform provides an easy solution. Users can use the drag-and-drop feature to create automated solutions.

This ease of use makes it easy to implement Power Automate throughout the organisation without incurring substantial training or implementation costs. Due to the cloud-only nature of this platform, the ownership cost is significantly lower. There are no requirements to install any hardware or software.

2. Businesses Using Microsoft Products

Although Power Automate can be connected with numerous applications through connectors, it is perfect for organisations already using Microsoft products. It makes the entire RPA process faster and smoother. There are no integration hassles, and Power Automate can utilise other Microsoft platforms for a more robust experience.

3. Preference for Citizen Development

Not every organisation can afford to hire specialist RPA developers. After all, RPA development is an increasingly popular field, and RPA developers are only beginning to realise their true market potential. In simpler words, RPA talent does not come cheap. Large, well-established organisations may be able to afford them.

But even if they can afford them, finding the talent can be a challenge. There is already a shortage of skilled professionals in the IT industry. As small and large organisations utilise RPA to streamline operations, there is a talent shortage. It is where citizen development can come in handy.

It refers to the practice in which non-technical persons design RPA solutions. As Microsoft Power Automate is easy to use, non-technical users can utilise it to create automated flows. It reduces the need to hire a team of RPA specialists. It saves the organisation time and money.
