WOKINGHAM, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwood Software Inc., the global leader of Enterprise Process AutomationTM, celebrates 20 years of success. Since 1993, Redwood has partnered with more than 3,000 of the world’s most prominent brands, including General Motors (GM), Toyota and Wells Fargo. Redwood’s approach enables companies to automate and coordinate their mission critical IT and business process such as those supporting the financial close, supply chain, and business intelligence (BI), for greater reliability, consistency and accuracy.
“We have grown successful as a company as we stay ahead of our customers’ needs,” said Tijl Vuyk, Redwood founder and CEO. “We focus on the measurable results required to drive business expansion and innovation with Enterprise Process Automation.
“Today, enterprises work with greater complexity than ever before. We’ve seen a shift in the way companies evaluate enterprise IT. It’s now viewed as a strategic business asset; not a cost center or service bureau. It’s a competitive driver.”
As businesses work to coordinate and connect larger, more complex tasks, Vuyk predicts that process automation will play a more prominent role in maintaining consistency and quality in back office activities. Vuyk forecasts three main areas of change:
1. The back office revolution
The impact of time-consuming, labour-intensive back office tasks has now moved to the forefront. Leading organisations will combine an industrial mind-set with new, faster strategic process automation to make back office work less tedious, risky and time-consuming for a definite competitive edge.
2. Manage the hybrid enterprise
As use of the cloud and cloud-based services become the norm, the need for enterprises to manage and streamline their portfolio of services with a unified view will become paramount. Automation will connect cloud services, virtualised activities and on-site applications for comprehensive control and coordination.
3. Expect more self-service
Business users demand fast, accurate information with constant availability. Tech support is under increasing strain to control costs and do more with less. The answer to both challenges lies in self-service options supported by consistent, accurate and automated processes.
“Companies are demanding a more reliable and self-sufficient infrastructure,” said Vuyk. “Many have already discovered how the cloud and self-service technology gives them a more agile IT operation. Now organisations are automating back office business processes for better controlled, engineered activities every day.”
