Enterprise automation software is designed to automate critical business processes and workflows in larger organizations. This type of software includes features to design, execute, and automate processes based on rules. These rules automatically route tasks, data, or files between people and systems. Enterprise automation is often behind the processes in many complex operations in manufacturing or IT, such as service desk ticketing, order management systems, product development, and other corporate processes. Enterprise automation and similar enterprise-level workflow tools are often standalone platforms or part of a bigger business process management platform, like an ERP solution.
