In the world of business process automation, cost control is crucial—especially as operations scale. Jitterbit, a leading integration platform, offers powerful automation solutions, but as one of our clients discovered, the pricing model can become an obstacle. Running 5 million operations per year, this company reduced its costs by 70% by switching to PROCESIO. This significant savings was achieved without sacrificing automation capabilities.

By showcasing this real-world example, we’ll explain why PROCESIO’s processing time billing model outperforms Jitterbit’s operation-based pricing, making it the smarter choice for companies managing high volumes of tasks.

Jitterbit’s Pricing Model: The Hidden Challenge

Jitterbit charges based on the number of operations—every action or transaction is priced equally, regardless of complexity. While this may seem straightforward, it presents a significant issue: not all tasks are created equal.

For businesses like our client, which runs millions of operations annually, this can lead to inflated costs. Each task is priced the same, whether it's a quick data lookup or a complex transaction that consumes significantly more resources.

Why PROCESIO’s Processing Time Model is Better: Feathers vs. Oranges

This is where PROCESIO’s processing time billing model shines. Instead of charging for the number of tasks, we charge for the time those tasks take to process, offering a more accurate and transparent reflection of resource usage.

Let’s consider this with an analogy:

Is Paying by Processing Time Better Than Paying by Tasks?

Imagine comparing feathers to oranges. In a task-based pricing model, every feather counts as one task, and every orange counts as one task. However, we all know that feathers are a lot lighter than oranges. In Jitterbit’s pricing model, even though these tasks are vastly different, you end up paying the same price for processing a feather as you would for processing an orange.

PROCESIO’s processing time model is like charging by weight. Since feathers require significantly fewer resources to process than oranges, you pay less for feather-like tasks and more for heavier tasks. This fairer, more transparent system ensures that you’re not overpaying for simple tasks while still covering the cost of more resource-intensive operations.

In practice: Our client realized that, with Jitterbit, they were being charged equally for tasks that took mere seconds and tasks that took much longer. By switching to PROCESIO, their pricing became aligned with the actual resources consumed, saving them 70% in automation costs.

How PROCESIO Delivers More Value at Lower Costs

PROCESIO’s pricing is built to scale efficiently with your operations. Here’s how we help companies like our client manage millions of tasks without skyrocketing costs:

1. Transparent, Usage-Based Pricing

By paying for processing time, our clients are charged based on the actual resources used during automation. This model is particularly effective for companies with complex workflows, as they no longer pay a flat rate per task, but instead only for the resources consumed.

2. Flexible Payment Options

With PROCESIO, clients can choose between two pricing models:

• Processing Time: Charged at €100/hour, clients only pay for the actual time their tasks take to process, making this ideal for varying task volumes and complexities.
• Reserved Execution Environments: For companies with predictable needs, like our client managing 5 million operations, reserving execution environments at €6,132/year per environment allows for unlimited processing time—offering a predictable, scalable pricing option.

Real-World Case: 70% Cost Savings on 5 Million Operations Per Year

In the case of our client, a company running 5 million operations per year, the choice to switch to PROCESIO has been a game-changer. With Jitterbit’s operation-based pricing, they were facing annual costs well above $100,000. After evaluating their needs, we proposed switching to PROCESIO, where they would pay only for the actual processing time their tasks consumed.

This change resulted in a 70% cost reduction, allowing the company to reinvest those savings into other critical areas of their business.

Why More Companies Are Choosing PROCESIO Over Jitterbit

1. Fairer Pricing for Complex Processes

In Jitterbit’s task-based pricing, a simple lookup and a complex transaction cost the same. PROCESIO’s processing time model ensures clients only pay for the actual resources their automation consumes, making it a more transparent and efficient pricing structure.

2. No More Overpaying for Simple Tasks

With our client, switching to PROCESIO meant they no longer had to overpay for low-resource tasks. This allowed them to cut unnecessary costs while maintaining their automation capabilities.

3. Scalable and Predictable

PROCESIO offers unlimited sub-Workspaces, allowing businesses to scale effortlessly without additional costs. Reserved environments provide further predictability, ensuring companies can manage high volumes of tasks without unpredictable expenses.

Conclusion: How PROCESIO Can Help Your Business

If your business runs a high volume of operations—whether it’s millions of tasks per year or complex workflows—switching to PROCESIO could reduce your automation costs by up to 70%, just like it did for our client. Our processing time model ensures you only pay for the resources you use, making it a more transparent and efficient way to manage your automation.

As a business automation partner, whether you're working with Workato, Jitterbit, or other similar platforms, you're likely familiar with the challenge of balancing profitability with delivering cost-effective solutions to clients. Both platforms are well-established in the automation space, but as your clients scale their operations, costs can spiral upwards, cutting into your margins and potentially driving clients to seek more affordable alternatives.

This is where PROCESIO steps in. PROCESIO’s flexible pricing model and partner-centric approach offer a unique opportunity for partners to increase profits while lowering client costs, making it the smart choice for automation partners looking to grow their business.

1. PROCESIO’s Pricing: A Game-Changer for Partner Profitability

One of the standout advantages of PROCESIO is its processing time pricing model, which is designed to be both transparent and scalable. Here’s why it’s different:

Workato and Jitterbit: Pricing by Task/Operation

Both Workato and Jitterbit base their pricing on tasks or operations. While this sounds simple, it often results in inefficiencies because not all tasks are created equal.

Imagine you’re working with a system that processes 5 million operations per year. Both Workato and Jitterbit would charge you based on the number of tasks executed, whether it's a simple data lookup or a complex process. This can quickly add up, as each task is billed the same, even though some tasks require significantly fewer resources than others. On top of this, you would pay for new workspaces as well.

PROCESIO’s Approach: Paying by Processing Time

PROCESIO charges by processing time rather than by task. Let’s break this down with a simple analogy:

Feathers vs. Oranges When you’re paying by tasks (like with Workato or Jitterbit), it’s like counting feathers and oranges the same way. A feather counts as one task, and so does an orange, even though the orange is much heavier and more resource-intensive. In contrast, PROCESIO’s processing time model is like charging by weight—you only pay for the resources you use.

This pricing model ensures that simple tasks cost less and complex tasks are billed fairly, giving clients more control over costs while making automation more affordable. This also translates into higher margins for partners, as you can offer competitive pricing without cutting into your bottom line.

2. Partner Benefits: Increased Earnings and Flexibility

PROCESIO offers unique partner benefits that go beyond pricing, making it an ideal platform for partners to grow their revenue streams:

Lead Generation Support

For select partners, PROCESIO provides lead-generation campaigns to help grow your business. If you have a clear use case, target market, and proven implementation with PROCESIO, the platform helps generate leads by aligning your offerings with the right buyer personas and markets.

€6,000/year in Free Resources

When you join the PROCESIO partner program, you receive a dedicated workspace with free resources each year so that they can begin to sell PROCESIO without an initial investment. Resources consist of one of the following.

• 5 hours of processing time per month, (valued at €6,000/year)
• 1 reserved execution environments (valued at €6,132/year).

These resources can be used for your own business or resold to clients, giving you an additional revenue stream.

Discounted Pricing on Additional Resources

As a partner, you also benefit from a 20% discount on any additional resources you purchase. This discount allows you to resell resources to clients at market prices, increasing your profit margins and ensuring that you stay competitive.

By offering competitive pricing without cutting into your own profits, you build stronger relationships with clients while boosting your earnings.

3. Real-World Use Case: 70% Savings on 5 Million Operations Per Year

Let’s look at a real-world example of how PROCESIO’s pricing delivers significant savings for both partners and clients:

A company processing 5 million operations per year initially considered Jitterbit but realized that the cost would exceed $100,000 annually. When they switched to PROCESIO, the cost dropped to just 30% of what they would have paid with Jitterbit. This cost-saving was made possible by PROCESIO’s processing time model, which ensures that only the actual resources used are billed.

For partners, this means you can offer your clients significant cost savings, making them more likely to stick with your services and refer you to others.

4. Flexibility in Resource Allocation

One of PROCESIO’s unique offerings is its ability to manage resources across unlimited sub-Workspaces. As a partner, you can create sub-Workspaces for clients at no extra cost and manage resource allocation seamlessly.

Whether your clients need processing time or reserved execution environments, PROCESIO allows you to control how those resources are distributed. This level of flexibility makes PROCESIO an ideal platform for managing multiple client needs, all while keeping costs in check.

5. Why PROCESIO is Better for Partners Compared to Workato and Jitterbit

1. Scalability Without the Cost Spike

Both Workato and Jitterbit offer powerful automation tools, but the cost can spiral quickly as your clients scale their operations. PROCESIO, with its transparent pricing model, provides a solution that scales without the same cost increases, making it easier for partners to grow their client base without worrying about unsustainable pricing.

2. Tailored Pricing for Client Needs

Workato and Jitterbit price per task, which means clients pay the same for lightweight tasks as they do for resource-intensive ones. PROCESIO’s processing time model ensures that clients are charged fairly based on the complexity of their processes. As a partner, this allows you to offer more competitive pricing while still making a profit.

3. Reselling Resources with Stacking

PROCESIO allows partners to resell resources (like processing time and execution environments) through a concept called stacking. This means you can resell resources to multiple clients who use them at different times, maximizing your revenue potential without overloading the system. This would be the equivalent of a time-share office for your client's projects.

More information about stacking can be found in this article.

Conclusion: PROCESIO is the Smart Move for Partners

For partners currently using or considering Workato or Jitterbit, PROCESIO offers a compelling alternative that combines lower client costs with increased profitability. With its processing time model, flexible resource allocation, and generous partner benefits, PROCESIO empowers partners to build long-term, profitable relationships with their clients while delivering significant value.

If you're ready to offer your clients automation solutions that deliver results without the price tag, PROCESIO is the smart move. Contact us today to learn how partnering with PROCESIO can transform your business.

As a Workato partner, you're always looking for ways to maintain high revenues while ensuring that your clients see the value in your services. However, with automation services growing in demand, clients are increasingly aware of rising costs. The challenge becomes balancing competitive pricing for clients while also ensuring profitability for your business.

The solution? PROCESIO — a scalable, flexible automation platform that allows partners to increase earnings and lower client costs simultaneously. By adding PROCESIO to your portfolio, you can unlock new revenue streams through its unique pricing model and “stacking” strategy, while offering clients a more cost-effective automation solution.

Maximizing Profits with PROCESIO’s Flexible Pricing Model

Workato’s task-based pricing model can create limitations on profitability. As your clients scale their automation needs, costs can increase significantly, which often leaves partners with a thin margin. This is where PROCESIO's flexible pricing model shines.

Two Ways to Maximize Earnings:

1. Sell Processing Time:

• PROCESIO allows partners to sell processing time at €100/hour, with a minimum commitment of 1 hour per month (€1,200/year). Processing time refers to the actual time an action spends being executed within the environment.
• With unlimited execution environments, clients can execute tasks in parallel without additional costs, making this a perfect model for clients with varying automation needs.

2. Sell Reserved Execution Environments:

• If your clients prefer a more predictable, long-term approach, you can offer reserved execution environments. This grants clients unlimited processing time across their reserved environments.
• For example, if a client has multiple automations running simultaneously, they can manage them with fewer reserved environments, spreading execution over time. This gives them control over their costs, while partners enjoy a steady revenue stream.

The Power of Stacking for Higher Revenue:

One of the standout features of PROCESIO is the ability to resell the same resources multiple times through "stacking." Here’s how it works:

• stacking Processing Time: If you have 2 hours of processing time, you can resell that to 4 different clients by dividing it into smaller portions (e.g., 0.5 hours each). As long as clients’ consumption remains low, you maximize your earnings from the same resource.
• stacking Execution Environments: Similarly, if you own 5 reserved environments, you can offer these to 10 clients, assuming their automation needs don’t overlap too much. This enables you to double your earnings without increasing costs.

By utilizing this stacking approach, partners can maximize profits without purchasing additional resources upfront.

Lowering Client Costs with PROCESIO’s Scalable Model

One of the greatest advantages of PROCESIO for your clients is the cost savings they can realize. While Workato’s pricing model can escalate as task usage grows, PROCESIO’s flexible billing options allow you to offer solutions that meet both small and large clients' needs.

Unlimited Sub-Workspaces for Clients:

PROCESIO allows you to create unlimited sub-Workspaces for your clients at no extra cost. This means you can provide clients with access to automation tools without them having to invest heavily in a separate workspace. As the Main Workspace owner, you control how much processing time or how many execution environments each client can access. This leads to lower overall costs for the client while maintaining the same level of service.

Lower Entry Costs for Smaller Clients:

PROCESIO’s pay-as-you-go model is especially beneficial for smaller clients, as it allows them to start with a low cost of entry. Instead of a hefty minimum contract price (like Workato’s €15,000/year), clients can begin at just €100/hour of processing time or a €6,132/year reserved execution environment, depending on their specific needs.

Custom Pricing Based on Client-Specific Metrics:

In addition to flexible pay-as-you-go pricing, we also offer custom pricing models based on specific client metrics, such as the number of contracts, invoices, documents, transports, emails, or other relevant processes. This allows you to tailor pricing to your client’s exact needs, ensuring they only pay for what they use, and you can adapt to a wide range of client demands, making it a truly personalized solution.

Client Satisfaction Means More Business for You

Offering lower costs through PROCESIO doesn’t just help you retain clients — it also leads to new business. When clients see that their automation costs are under control, they’re more likely to recommend your services to other businesses. By keeping clients happy and costs low, you ensure long-term growth in your client base.

Profit-Boosting Features Unique to PROCESIO

In addition to its flexible pricing, PROCESIO offers a range of unique features that help partners boost their profits while providing more value to clients.

1. No-Code, Low-Code, Full-Code Flexibility

PROCESIO’s platform caters to all levels of technical complexity, from No-Code to Full-Code automation. Whether your client needs simple workflows or highly complex integrations, you can easily scale the solution to fit their needs. This versatility ensures that PROCESIO can support a broad range of use cases, allowing you to capture more business.

2. Multi-Workspace Environment

PROCESIO allows you and your clients to manage multiple projects and processes seamlessly across sub-Workspaces. This allows businesses to scale their operations without incurring additional costs. As the partner, you remain in control of the resources, ensuring that clients get what they need when they need it, while still making a profit.

3. Partner Program Benefits

By joining our partner program, you unlock additional perks that increase your profitability:

• You receive €6,000/year worth of free resources, which can be either 5 hours of processing time or 1 reserved execution environment. These resources can be used internally or resold to your clients, adding even more value to your business.
• On top of this, when you buy additional resources, you receive a 20% discount as a valuable partner. This discount allows you to resell PROCESIO licenses at the listed website price while keeping a significant margin, or offer your clients a discounted rate. Either way, this flexibility increases your earnings and enhances your client relationships.

4. Lead Generation Campaigns for Partners

PROCESIO goes the extra mile for select partners by offering lead generation support. If you meet specific criteria — including having a clear use case, an ideal customer profile (ICP), and a proven implementation of PROCESIO — the platform can help you generate new business. This allows you to focus on growing your client base, while PROCESIO supports your marketing efforts.

Case Study: Earning More with PROCESIO While Lowering Client Costs

Let’s consider a scenario where a Workato partner switches to PROCESIO:

• With Workato, you’re charging a client €15,000/year for their workspace and task usage. As their automation needs grow, the client starts to feel the pinch, and you’re left with a small margin.
• By switching to PROCESIO, you can charge the client based on either processing time or reserved execution environments. You stake resources, offering the same environment to multiple clients without them even realizing the difference.
• Not only do you reduce the client’s costs by offering a more flexible pricing structure, but you also double your revenue by reselling those same environments to other clients.

The client is happy because they’re paying less for the same level of service, and you’re happy because you’re earning more without increasing your costs.

Conclusion: Why PROCESIO is the Smart Move for Workato Partners

If you’re a Workato partner, now is the time to rethink your strategy. By partnering with PROCESIO, you can maximize your profits while offering more cost-effective solutions to your clients. The combination of flexible pricing, stacking, and lead generation support ensures that you not only keep your existing clients happy but also grow your business.

You can try this experiment: search "is RPA dead?" on Google. Most of the articles you will find are so incredibly biased that it can be hilarious: articles sponsored by RPA companies saying that Robotic Process Automation is very much alive and healthy, articles sponsored by competing products trying to hammer another nail into the RPA coffin. The formula "is X technology dead?" for clickbait is not new, but people seem to have really gone to town with Robotic Process Automation. Everyone is trying to jump onto the RPA Dead or Not Dead train on one side or the other. The least entertaining ones will go for a Depends approach, because they always do. There seems to be more consensus on the internet about whether Elvis Presley really did die (he apparently did not, by the way) or whether the moon landing was real (it was, sorry conspiracy theorists) than about whether RPA is dead or not.

Which begs a whole different question: why is it so important to establish if Robotic Process Automation is dead? This is the question that is probably more intriguing, because I believe the answer will give us a glimpse into the true problem of RPA, and yes there is indeed a problem with RPA, that much is evident from the level of controversy. Admitting to that problem starts with acknowledging that the whole thing is not about ending the use of a technology, but about ending a hype.

Robotic Process Automation rose to prominence during the 2010s, and by the time the Pandemic hit it was basically what the general public thought of when they thought of automation. What was the secret of success? Probably the same as that of most successful products: good timing and even better advertising. RPA went big just in time to surf the first stage of the automation fad. From the mid 2010s or so onwards, any article with the word Automation on it was instant clickbait, and those articles started mentioning RPA more and more. There were other tools for automating, some that had seen more widespread use in the years prior, namely Business Process Management. However, RPA had something BPM did not at the time: it was visually striking, and well presented. You looked at the outcome of Robotic Process Automation and the Process part was not even in it, it was more like "holy crap an actual robot is imitating my clicks on the screen and doing my job for me."

And that is the second thing: The name. It had the word Robot in it. Yes, the word was invented by a Czech writer and popularized by a Russian-born American writer, you can look it up, but that is not important right now. Whereas Business Process Management sounds like something that is simultaneously below your paygrade if you are a C level executive, and above your paygrade if you are not, the word Robot appeals to everyone, from the top board member to their four-year old kid. So Robotic Process Automation had two of the most clickbaitable words in the actual name, and it did something which was easy to explain and very easy to comprehend once you saw it in action. In short, the perfect recipe for one of the most hyped-up products in this century. Besides all that, and to be fair, it was a useful product that filled a gap in the market that was not being properly serviced.

So, why are we not still sailing the blue seas of Robotic Process Automation, following the path of RPA anywhere it may take us? Because the fact that RPA sold like hot bread prompted its use for everything, even for things RPA was not designed for. Like MacGyver dismantling an atomic bomb with his Swiss army knife, it looks awesome, just maybe not very practical. Swiss army knives are great, but you would not want to take your car to a mechanic and see that the mechanic is going to be using one as their only tool to fix your transmission, regardless of how like Richard Dean Anderson he may look.

There are many great automation tools out there. Besides Business Process Management,  low-code and no-code automation platforms for example have always been a go-to solution for implementers, because they are flexible and yes, they can integrate RPA as well.

Regardless of this, the hype got out of control more than a bit. The most important Robotic Process Automation vendors did a lot of their business through reseller partners; these partners joined the gold rush, pushed the popular product and tried to fit it into every use case, very often to the detriment of their clients, for example installing a robot to operate over a user interface that would change a month later and break the robot, instead of just calling an API. All because Application Programming Interface sounds boring and Robot sounds fun. This made some people very angry, namely experts who have always wanted to use the best tool for the job, which sometimes includes RPA and is not limited to RPA.  

What aspects of Robotic Process Automation have they been bashing for a while now? Price, for one. RPA is expensive, and the pricing is not very flexible, whereas other tools out there have developed a pricing model that allows adjustments based on execution time and specific business metrics. Maintenance is another critical aspect: RPA requires ongoing attention whenever it interacts with operating systems, servers, machines, and infrastructure. This means always. Low-code tends to be more resilient. RPA requires a complex and resource-intensive infrastructure setup, which in the heyday of RPA was more than welcome by implementers who could make a hefty sum with drawn out projects, but at the end of the day is just not good for the client. Neither is the fact that, as mentioned earlier, something as simple as calling an API is made quite complex if one wants to do it using RPA.

Robotic Process Automation does excel in areas other tools do not, for example UI automation. This is even in the name of one of the biggest and fastest-growing RPA companies in the world. RPA is specifically designed for tasks that involve interaction with user interfaces, whereas BMP and low-code focus on backend processes and integrations. Then again, the whole problem with RPA was never about what RPA can and cannot do, rather about the way what RPA can actually do was communicated, and later amplified when marketed and sold.

Imagine people who love dogs and people who love animals in general. Whenever a Dog Person says to an Animal Person "I have a dog", the Animal Person wants to hear about it, because they are interested in all pets. However, when an Animal Person says "I have a cat," the Dog Person always says "I prefer dogs" and they proceed to talk about their dog. Dog People are completely oblivious to this, but it makes them terrible conversationalists, as it alienates owners of all other pets. The same happens between Robotic Process Automation companies and other technology-agnostic service providers or low-code automation companies. When a use case is shown to a general automation company, they will say "we can do this using a combination of tools, including RPA." If the same case is shown to an RPA company, they will say "we can do this using only RPA," which is of course not true, but is fashionable to say. This dispute is bad enough when there are two parties trying to agree, but then the clients get caught in the middle. That is when things get nasty. Clients are afraid of being oversold on technology, so more than one automation company has been talking to a client when they hear the rebuke: "what do you mean a combination of tools? We just talked to another provider, and they said they can do this using only RPA."

All of this has strained communications a lot, and as communications break down, many automation companies get fed up, try not to use RPA altogether (even in scenarios where it is useful) and we end up with people talking about the death of RPA and other people googling about it, which is right where we started.

All of the above has been happening for a few years now. As early as 2019 HFS was already predicting the downfall of RPA. The hype, which never stopped regardless, had another, more recent, undesirable side effect. We mentioned that Robotic Process Automation vendors did a lot of  business through reseller partners; most of their business in fact. RPA companies were aggressively pushing their product through partners, not only using the RPA Can Do Everything argument, but also giving out really great margins to their reseller partners. A reseller partner could get up to 45% of the list price as margin if they played the game well. This is no longer the case. RPA vendors have started to realize that, since their product now sells itself and everyone wants to sell it for them, they no longer need to reward the partners that have been with them for the better part of a decade. This article will name no names, but when a 45% margin suddenly turns into 15%, a lot of implementers are ready to jump ship and adopt other tools, suddenly realizing that there is more that RPA cannot do than what it can actually do. Dropping profit margins will do that to people.

In conclusion, regardless of whether or not RPA is dead, what is surely dying is the hype, and with it the principle of ineffability that seemed to halo around Robotic Process Automation for a few years. The technology world seems finally ready to embrace other solutions. Low-code and no-code are on the rise, bringing with them the promise of a client-centric approach based on outcomes, using the best tools for the job. And yes, on occasion those tools may even include Robotic Process Automation.

As a C-level executive, you're constantly looking for ways to drive business outcomes, streamline processes, and increase efficiency. And in today's fast-paced, ever-changing business landscape, automation is becoming increasingly important. But the question remains: How can you effectively implement automation initiatives that will truly benefit your company?

Enter the API first approach. By 2025, 40% of IT leaders' purchasing patterns will shift towards API-first automation initiatives, according to Gartner. This approach prioritizes connectivity to a system via its programmatic interface, making it easier to secure and interact with than screen scraping techniques (RPA). It also reduces the core need for RPA screen scraping, as more SaaS applications with documented APIs are adopted in portfolios.

But an API first approach is just the beginning of a automation journey. As a C-level executive, it's crucial that you understand the benefits of this approach and why it's imperative for the success of your company's automation strategy.

The Key Drivers of Automation: Cost, Time, and Risk

When it comes to automation, cost, time, and risk are the key drivers. As companies look to automate their business processes, they are seeking to reduce costs, save time, and mitigate risks. An API first approach can help achieve these goals!

Cost to automate targeted tasks/processes starts out manageable and decreases over time with development discipline and rigor, strong governance, consistency of tools, and modularity.

An API first approach can help reduce the risk of errors and security breaches. APIs are easier to secure and more stable to interact with than screen scraping techniques. And as evidenced by RPA vendors increasingly investing in improving their API connectivity capabilities, there is a clear trajectory to an API first approach.

The Business Value of Automation: Increased Efficiency and Agility

The business value that can be reached through automation is significant, including cost savings/efficiency, effectiveness, and business agility. With an API first approach, companies can streamline their business processes, automate repetitive tasks, and reduce the risk of errors and security breaches.

In addition, automation can help increase business agility, allowing companies to respond quickly to changing market conditions and customer needs. It can also improve customer experiences, as companies are able to provide faster and more efficient service.

Why Automation is Critical for Business Success: Disruption and Uncertainty

Disruption and uncertainty are increasingly common in today's business landscape. And as a result, business as usual becomes riskier than automation or innovation. Organizations that lead through turbulence with intention will be the most successful.

Automation spending is "recession-resistant", providing stability and resilience during economic downturns. As companies allocate more money to automation initiatives, it's crucial to consider options outside of the CIO's budget. This includes hiring more people who report to business units and generating more value and innovation outside of IT leaders or the CIO. It's a new reality that demands a more holistic approach to automation, one that empowers all areas of the organization.

2023 is set to be a year of uncertainty and change for businesses around the world. It is unclear if we are heading for a recession (e.g. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/29/business/global-economy-2023-recession/index.html), but it is evident that many companies are going to face significant challenges this year. However, every challenge also brings opportunities. And smart companies are already positioning themselves to make the most of what's to come.

As a CXO, you're likely already aware of the importance of efficiency and automation in today's business landscape. In a time of economic uncertainty, it's more important than ever to find ways to streamline operations, eliminate waste, and reduce costs. The good news is that technology is making this easier than ever before.

One of the key areas to focus on is customer service. It's essential to make sure your customers are getting the best possible experience. This means looking for ways to make it easy for them to find what they're looking for, providing fast and accurate information, and making it easy for them to make a purchase.

Another area to focus on is logistics. It's important to make sure your products are getting to your customers quickly and efficiently. This means investing in technology that can help you track your inventory, manage your supply chain, and make sure your products are getting to your customers on time.

Financial operations are also an important area to focus on. With economic uncertainty, it's essential to make sure your finances are in order. This means looking for ways to automate your financial processes, reduce costs, and make sure you have the information you need to make the best decisions.

When it comes to investing in automation and technology, it's important to choose the right tools for the job. Look for flexible, easy-to-use solutions that can integrate with your existing systems. And don't be afraid to invest in areas that might not seem immediately obvious. For example, investing in technology to improve data quality and accuracy can have a big impact on your bottom line.

It's also important to remember that a recession is not all bad news. It can be a time of opportunity, as companies are forced to think creatively and come up with new solutions to old problems. By embracing automation and investing in technology, businesses can not only survive but thrive in the years ahead.

So, as a CXO, what steps can you take to prepare your company for the coming recession?

The first step is to be proactive. Don't wait for the recession to hit before you start taking action. Instead, start planning now. Take stock of your operations, identify areas where you can improve efficiency and reduce costs, and start making changes.

Secondly, be strategic. Don't just focus on the short-term. Instead, think about the long-term and how your investments today will benefit your company in the future. This means looking for ways to automate your operations, improve data quality and accuracy, and make your business more agile.

Finally, be open to new ideas and be willing to experiment. The world of technology is changing rapidly, and what worked yesterday might not work today. Be open to new technologies and new ways of doing things. And don't be afraid to try new things, even if they seem a little risky.

In conclusion, 2023 may be a challenging year, but with a focus on efficiency and automation, and by being proactive, strategic, and open to new ideas, businesses can position themselves to make the most of what's to come.

When it comes to choosing the right tools and platform to achieve it all, PROCESIO is the go-to platform. It is a Cloud Intelligent Automation platform that enables the automation of repetitive tasks using a combination of no-code, low-code, and full-code options, and leveraging artificial intelligence and cloud technology, it can integrate seamlessly with existing systems and can be easily scaled to meet the growing needs of the business. By using PROCESIO, businesses can automate their business processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs, so they can focus on delivering business outcomes and drive business value for their clients, the business, and employees.

So, don't wait for the recession to hit, start preparing now, and let PROCESIO be your partner in crossing the recession.

If you are trying to understand what the fuss is about the Automation of business processes, you have probably already encountered multiple concepts (RPA, IA, no-code, low-code, iPaaS, ESB, ETL/ELT, hyper-automation, iOCR, IDP, etc.), and you are wondering what it is about and why you should care.

All software is somehow inspired by humans, possessing Execution, Language, Vision, Thinking & Learning capabilities to different degrees.

Vendors and analysts are coining new terms in order to convey as easily as possible what the purpose of a certain type of technology is, how it can help, what are the capabilities are, and where to use it, but, apparently, the confusion only keeps growing.

To cut through the noise, we need to go to the root of it all: software! Then, we need to understand where it is going with all this! Read on and we will answer all that.

Why does software exist?

Think about it for a second! Why do vendors create software and why are people using it? What is the fundamental problem solved by all software? Why did it appear and why did it expand so widely so that, now, there is always software all around us?

The software exists to eliminate the need for humans to do something manually so that they create business value. Let that sink in for a few seconds. Every software that you can think of serves that basic purpose. It does something that humans don't have to do or couldn't have done manually.

Simply put: all software is about automating manual work.

Check out here a nice example of  software classification by type and purpose: https://www.educba.com/what-is-application-software-its-types/

As manual work is being replaced by software, new opportunities arise and humans address manually until the software can replace that manual work and the cycle continues and evolves - there will always be repetitive manual work.

To make matters complex, there are too few people for the available jobs, too few software developers to build software, and there is a big skill gap to solve problems & deliver solutions for widespread problems that companies face. All that while manual work grows inside companies.

The software has evolved, providing solutions to current business challenges, creating new categories of software, and addressing particular sets of challenges. This is all changing at a rapid pace.

Where is it all going?

Due to Work From Home/Remote Work, people being able to work from anywhere, anytime, companies are embracing the cloud and vendors are going cloud. We predict that even operating systems will be web-based in the next 10 years.

Everything will be in the cloud!

You will not need to care about the infrastructure or the hosting (learn more on why infrastructure is important: https://www.capterra.com/resources/it-infrastructure/)!

You will need to care only about delivering business outcomes for your business.

The software will always be required to be customizable to a certain degree for individual businesses, and manual work will always be required as processes evolve and businesses transform. Companies and employees will always be in a constant flux of change. Always improving, always making operations more effective and competitive to drive business value for clients, the business, and employees.

We are living in the Future of Work! (check out below our video on the topic)

This will also bring new sets of challenges:

• Need to have Cloud software that addresses the current and future needs of organizations;
• Cloud solutions need to be usage-based (check this fresh new article from HFS: https://www.horsesforsources.com/bpo-shift-to-outcomes_092722/), tied directly to the value received by the business using the solution (usage translates directly to value, as without bringing value usage will drop, so this puts pressure on the vendor to deliver value for the money);
• Need for software that can Automate business processes, acting as a glue for all software in the company's IT landscape;
• Software needs to be easily maintained and scaled, so that it does not break and it works as a part of the whole;
• Software needs to be intelligent, flexible, and versatile;
• Software needs to be able to deliver automation, but also to be able to build software on top of it.

We need to look more profoundly at Automation and Intelligent Automation!

Future? Now!

We bring you: Cloud Intelligent Automation or shortened CIA!

Cloud Intelligent Automation is the natural evolution of software, rising from need and demand, from the pain of not having, and from businesses' demand for growth. It is a response to workforce migration & lack of resources, to clients demanding perfection, and to competition becoming more intense across industries.

It is not Intelligent Automation as you may already know it!

CIA is not just about Automation, Cloud, or just Intelligence. It is about delivering business value for the future: robustly, scalable, and with the available human resources.

CIA is Intelligent, not because you can use it for IDP or iOCR, orchestrate RPA or integrate software, use it for business logic or backend, but because it can do all that and more!

CIA is a visual software development environment in the cloud, using no-code, low-code, and full code to deliver value for businesses!

PROCESIO is the new generation of software, bringing Cloud Intelligent Automation to the world!

Here is the list of major features that PROCESIO's team released by the end of August:

Crash Course

Each newly created user will have from now on access to the first chapter of our crash course.

Users will find the crash course directly in their personal workspace upon account creation.

New Platform Actions

Amongst others: Read JSON file, XPath ~XML Mapper & XML Update, Zip & Unzip, Scripting (Js), Pdf Actions, Parse JSON, Generate GUID  etc

Force Stop

Being able to stop your running instances, be it because you noticed that there are still modifications needed or for other reasons

Duplicate Process

Don’t start from scratch, instantly Duplicate your work.

Workspace Administration

We have introduced two new roles (owner & co-owner) and the ability for these two new roles to create & provision workspaces for the account they represent. Companies can now administer & segregate resources (processes/ credentials/ users etc) according to needs.

Execution time for Resource tracking

Execution time is now the metric to count your subscription consumption.

Call API v3 Action

Call API Action to support different body formats: form-data; binary; x-www-form-url-encoded

Instances

Were split into two different tab: Recet & History. Any instance older than 5 minutes will be moved to the History Tab.

Switching Instances at one click distance

Form within Instance detailed view, switching from one instance to another was made possible via the newly added leftside instance selector.

Instances are now available directly from Canvas. From the Right Side Bar users can now access intances via the instace button.

Decisional Action

Supports now case names on it’s branches. For adding this hit on the decisional & configure the case/ branch. The name of the branch will become visible directly on canvas.

Custom Action Designer

Design your custom actions decorators without having to write code. Once your decorators are set, copy-paste the generated code.

We know from our life experiences that even the most helpful tool could be left unused if we do not know how to use it properly or it takes too much time to learn it, and we do not want this to be the case with our tool.

In this "getting started video", you will learn fast and easy how to use PROCESIO to integrate applications and process data.

You could only watch the video, or you could also build along. We recommend the second option as nothing can replace a hands-on experience.
To build and run the demo process, you only need a free PROCESIO account that you can obtain in a minute. Go on procesio.com, push the "create account" button and follow the process.

After you receive the credentials, log in, and you are ready to use it.

Now let's see what we are going to do.

We are going to design a process that will get some data from a Weather.com application and insert it into a report. We picked this scenario because the building principle behind it applies to a lot of real-world use cases. The process is the same whether we get data from a website and add it to a file or integrate Salesforce with Hubspot.

Let's get started.
We log in, and we are directed to the Dashboard.
The navigation panel that contains PROCESIO's main components is on the left-hand side of the screen.

We will use only "Process Designer" and "Document Designer" in this video.
With "Process Designer", we create, modify and run processes. The "Document Designer" component is used when we want to develop file-based reports.

To create our process, we need to go to the "Process Designer" home page and push the "Create New" button; a new process workspace opens.
There are several essential functionalities in this space.

We can see the platform-defined actions on the left side of the workspace.

On top of the workspace, we have the process name.
On the right side, there are "Save", "Validate", and "Run" buttons, and, essential, the controls for "Variables" and the "Error messages" windows.

Now let's design our demo workflow.
As mentioned earlier, we want to connect to the Weather.com application, get the temperature for a specific city, and add it to a document.

So, first, we drag and drop a "Call API" action on the workspace. The "Call API" action allows us to connect and request the information we want.

Then, we add a "JSON mapper" object to our workspace, allowing us only to get what we need from the answer we get from Weather.com. The final step is to add the information into a report, so we drag and drop a "Generate Document" object on our digital canvas.

The last thing, we establish the flow direction and the order of execution by connecting with arrows the actions we added to the workspace.

And that's it! Our first process design! Now we push the save button on top to make sure our work is safe.

To go back to the "Process Designer" home page, we push the "Back button" on the top left side corner of the screen.

As a next step, we need to configure the objects we added in our process, but before that, I would like to clarify some terminology we used for those new to the application integration domain.
I'm referring to API and JSON.
API stands for application programming interface and is a set of functions that allows applications we build to access data and interact with external software components. In our demo case, PROCESIO app with Weather.com application. If you are unfamiliar with APIs, don't worry, they are well documented in general; for this demo, just copy what we do.
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a text format for storing and transporting data. It is "self-describing" and easy to understand. We will show you an example further in the demo.

Now let's get back to our process and configure the "Call API" action.
You probably observe now that the rest of the objects are not visible in the workspace. The reason is simple. There are multiple ways to build a process, and when we recorded this demo, we configured each object after adding it to the workspace. It was faster like this for us. We edited the recording and modified the flow as we think that in most cases, it is more practical to start with the process flow first, to have the "big picture", and do the configuration after.
No matter the approach, the result will be the same.

Call API action requires a connection to a data source (whather.com in our case) and a request for data.
Click on "Select API configuration".
As you can see, there is no API configured yet, so click on "Create credential".
On the "Credential Manager" window, click on the "Create new" button.
Add the "credential name" in the new window and click "Next". Now add the "URL", the "Test endpoint", the API key and the value.
Check the "Query parameters" box and uncheck "Header".
Again, if you are new to APIs, don't worry. Everything we added here is available in the Weather.com API documentation. If you want to connect to other applications, like Hubspot for example, just check Hubspot API documentation.
Now click on the "Test connection" button.
The connection works, so we save it.
We can see it in the "Credentials Manager" window, and it was also added in the "Select API configuration" field.
We close the "Credential Manager" window and click on "Configure Request".
We select the "Verb", add the "Endpoint", "method name", and the "Key" we've got from the documentation.
In the "Value" field, we should add the name of the city, but because we want to showcase more PROCESIO's capabilities, we decided not to "hardcode" the city name in the process but to ask for it every time we run the process.
To do that, we need to add a variable in this field.
As no variable was defined yet, we need to create one by clicking on the "plus" sign.
On the new window, we add the "Name" of the variable and the "Type". In this case, it is "String".
Because we want to add the city name when the process runs, we set it as an input variable.
Click on "Create variable", and that's it.
Next, we need to set up the "Body Output" field. Here we add the variable that will store the answer we receive from Weather.com.
We click on the "plus" button, and on the new window, we fill in the "Name" and the "Type". In this case, we select the "JSON" type. Because we want you to see the data and how a JSON file looks like we set it as an "Output" variable.
Next, click on "Create Variable".

We finish configuring the "Call API" action.
Before moving to the next object, let's test it. We click again on "Configure Request" and then on "Test Action". Add "London" as a test value and click on the "Test action" button. In the "Body output", we can see the response from Weather.com.
But we do not need all that information. For our report, we just need the temperature in degrees Celsius.
So it is time to set up the JSON Mapper object in our process to extract the data we need.
We select the "JSON Mapper" object, and the "Configuration Tab" opens. First, we need to select the "Input Json" field and choose the variable we created earlier to store the Weather.com answer. Then, in the "Query" field, we add the property we are looking for the current temperature in degrees Celsius. As we need to store the value of that property, we create another variable for the "Result field".
In the "Create Variable" window, we add the "Name" and select "Float" as "Type". Clicking on "Create Variable", we finished the "Json Mapper" object setup.

Next, we must configure the "Generate Document" object and action.
First, we need to fill in the "select document template" in the "Generate Document" tab; because we do not have a template yet, it's time to create one.
We save again our process and click on the "Back" button.
Then, on the main menu, we click on "Document Designer", and on the "Document Designer's" main page, we push "Create new document". We give it a name, and, for showcase purposes, we import an image to make it look better.
In this document, we want to show the temperature forecasted by Weather.com for the city we provide in the request. For this, we need to create two variables to store those values. Click on the "plus" button next to the "Format menu". Add the name of the variable, "city", in this case, and select "Type" "String". Click on the "Create Variable" button. We repeat the steps to create the second variable. We named it "temp", and the "Type" is "Float".
After we play a bit more with the format, it is time to use those variables and select them from the list on the left side.

We save the "Document template" and go back to "Process Designer". We open our process to finish the configuration for the "Generate Document" action.
We add the created template in the "Select document template" field. Then we provide a name to our file. Because we want to keep and see the file after we run the process, we create a new variable for the "Document output" filed. We fill in the "Name", select "Type" File, set it as "Output", and click "Create Variable".
The last step is to map "Process variables" to "Document variables".
Click on Map Document data.
Map "Process Variable” "cityName" to "Document Variable” "city" and "temperature" to "temp". We close the Mapping Window, and that's it. We finished configuring our process. It is time to run it.
First, we save and validate it. After we push the "Run" button, a "pop-up" window opens. We need to provide the name of the city. We add the name of the city and click "Run".

On the "Process completed" window, we click "Check instances".
We can see that all actions run successfully, and under "Instance Details", we see the input and output variables.
We can download them if we want. Let's see what our report looks like.
There are 25 degrees Celsius in Barcelona today.
This means that I would like to be in Barcelona and also that we successfully ran our first integration process using PROCESIO.

Thank you for watching, and if you want to learn more, starting with simple automation to building your own customized actions, check the other resources available on PROCESIO's website.

The future of work is a hot topic these days.
Corporations and consulting companies worldwide conducted research and published reports on the subject, trying to help the organizations and the workforce prepare for the future.
One of the most critical factors that everybody agrees on is automation.
Gartner even coined the term "Hyperautomation" and defined it as a business-driven, disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify and automate as many business and IT processes as possible."
Now, workflow and process automation is not something new. Doing something faster, better, and cheaper is what businesses strive for since… well, always 😊

What will change from our perspective is how the work is done and who does the work.
Let's see why and how!

In the last decades, workflow automation had three parties involved: business, business operations and software development.
The business works with business operations to define processes, data flows and metrics and decide what applications to use to support those.

The business operations works with software developers to customize and deploy the application.

Then, the lengthy integration process of the new application with the existing ones starts.

Anyone that has been involved in such a process knows that deploying the new application is the easy part. The integration with the organization's other applications and the automation is what takes a lot of time and money. And because of all these constraints, it often doesn't happen. It is not because people don't like automation but because it is costly and depends on software developers' availability. This is why 'business operations' does so much manual work to enhance the data available throughout the systems and create reports. This is why Excel is still the king 😉.

On top of being slow and expensive, the described automation process also reduces business agility.
No organization that finished an integration and automation project wants to start over. They want that effort to pay off. But we all know that change is the only constant, and the pace of change increases. So, to stay competitive, organizations need to be able to change and add fast new applications in their toolbox and, at the same time, keep the level of automation.

To achieve this, organizations need to change how 'business operations' work.

Using PROCESIO, a no-code/low-code integration and automation platform, the business operations no longer need to depend on software developers. They can do most of the integration and automation work by themselves. Any business operations professional who knows how to use Excel can learn to use PROCESIO and start integrating applications and automating processes in a matter of hours.
The successful organizations of tomorrow will be the ones that transform their integration and automation processes, shifting from being developer-centric to business operations centric.

This is a proof of concept on how PROCESIO platform can be used to integrate with HubSpot, fetch a contact list, iterate through it, make web searches based on a certain property in order to extract useful information and close the loop by posting an engagement back in HubSpot as a note containing a list of links to relevant articles along with a weighted summary of what topics are addressed in each article.

What is HubSpot?

HubSpot is a cloud-based CRM designed to help align sales and marketing teams, foster sales enablement, boost ROI and optimize the inbound marketing strategy of a company in order to generate more qualified leads.

Among it's various use cases HubSpot platform allows sales teams to organize a pool of leads or potential leads as a list of contacts which are basically clients.

Properties like phone number, email, company name, status or owner are associated with a contact which help model the relationship with the client throughout all phases from reaching them to closing the deal.

In addition, each contact has dedicated sections like notes, tasks, meetings that represent different types of engagement with that contact.

For example the owner wants to keep track of what tasks they have to do regarding a certain contact. By creating a task they will remember to follow up with a call or an email and maintain the relationship with the client alive.

Also notes are useful if one wants to have some observations from previous meetings stored in a digital format not only in a notebook.

What is the goal?

Let's say a Hubspot user, typically a sales person, wants to be up to date with all that's going on in the news regarding his contacts. By being constantly informed one can have valuable insight about a client's company which might come in handy when approaching the contact.

Nowadays news run fast and it's sometimes hard to keep up with the huge amount of information that's available on the world wide web. Going through each contact in Hubspot and scrolling through the news websites to find out the latest things about them sounds like a time consuming activity.

What if, instead, you could have the top 3 most relevant articles about each contact aggregated directly in HubSpot as notes? Maybe you're interested in a certain list of topics and want to read only the articles that are related to health or investments. Having a classification of each article by topics might seem necessary.

Say you want to skip an article on Tesla (one of your contacts is working at this company) that talks about bussiness because you are already knowledgeable about this particular combination (Tesla & bussiness). Just check the next article about Tesla which happens to have been identified as approaching the environment subject.

The examples can go on and on, but the bottom line is how much amount of time can be saved by having well structured insight data enclosed in the list of contacts that you go through day by day. Data that can be easily tailored at any time in order to be relevant and up to date.

Building the solution with PROCESIO

HubSpot

• you will be needing a HS account - preferable a development account for testing purposes (if you already have a HS account, development or otherwise, skip the underlying steps or take a quick read here although you still need a test account if you don't want to mess with your production like environment first)
• follow this link https://developers.hubspot.com/get-started and choose Create App Developer account
• once done with the previous step go to the Home page and choose Create a test account (for more info check https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/faq/how-do-i-create-a-test-account)
• for API usage you will need an API key in order to make authorized calls so from the top-right corner click on the avatar and select Profile & Preferences then on the left list of settings expand the Integrations drop-down and select API Key and then create one if no active API key available and save it for later

NewsAPI

NewsAPI is a web project that allows users to search the web for news in a developer-ish way via powerful APIs and client libreries for several programming languages

• the existence of a wide list of search parameters lets you create versatile queries
• a similar service called newsapi.ai has APIs oriented towards analytics and one can benefit from analyzing the sentiment of a given text or the extraction of topics from a given article
• both services are well documented and work based on API keys with regards to authorization
• the caveat is that there are some limitations when using the free plan

Finally, it's time to connect the dots and bring PROCESIO in.

PROCESIO is a no/low-code and full code platform, developed by Ringhel, that was officially launched in August 2021. PROCESIO technology has been created for companies that need to develop automation or tailored integrations or to process data fast, at a low cost, regardless of industry. With PROCESIO, all business processes are centralised on a single platform where business logic can be developed – making it far easier to monitor, develop, scale, and modify processes.

The Growceanu team has implemented PROCESIO both to optimise internal operations and to develop the processes behind the business angles platform which was launched at the beginning of March 2022.

"This partnership is the opportunity we needed to quickly and efficiently implement and maintain a series of processes and integrations essential to our platform and easily adapt them to future business requirements. The fact that these services, so useful to us, are now offered at a very generous discount to the start-ups we work with is also an excellent opportunity for them to digitalise processes without requiring expensive technical expertise" Adrian Erimescu, Co-Founder of Growceanu

"PROCESIO emerged as a result of our need to grow and scale quickly. Today, with PROCESIO, you can automate operations in different industries - energy, logistics, e-commerce, insurance, finance & accounting – it applies to all departments, with broad use-cases. As far as we are concerned, everything is a process - as the name we have chosen for our technology shows. Therefore, we can also create advanced chatbots, for both internal and external communication. PROCESIO’s distinctiveness comes from how flexible and easy it is to use for any process, thus offering a premium user experience and a minimal learning curve" Mihai Dârzan, Founder of PROCESIO
