- RPA evaluation and bot design (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate Desktop)
- Automation ROI modeling and business case development
- Change management for workflow transformation
- Compliance and governance in automated workflows
Workflow Platform Comparison
| Platform | Best For | Pricing Model | Self-Hosted |
|---|---|---|---|
| n8n | Technical teams, custom integrations | Open-source + cloud | Yes |
| Zapier | Non-technical users, SaaS integrations | Per-task pricing | No |
| Power Automate | Microsoft ecosystem, enterprise | Per-user/per-flow | Hybrid |
| Temporal | Mission-critical durable workflows | Open-source + cloud | Yes |
| Camunda | BPMN-compliant process orchestration | Open-source + cloud | Yes |
| Motia | Code-first AI agent workflows | Open-source + cloud | Yes |
| Make (Integromat) | Visual automation, complex logic | Per-operation | No |
Automation Opportunity Assessment
Scoring Matrix
| Criteria | Weight | Score (1-5) |
|---|---|---|
| Volume (frequency of execution) | 25% | How often is this process run? |
| Manual effort (time per execution) | 20% | Hours spent per instance |
| Error rate (human mistakes) | 15% | Frequency of errors |
| Standardization (rule-based) | 15% | How rule-based vs. judgment-based |
| System availability (API/data) | 15% | Are source systems accessible? |
| Business impact (revenue/cost) | 10% | Financial impact of improvement |
Automation Readiness Levels
| Level | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| L1 - Manual | Fully manual, no tools | Document and standardize first |
| L2 - Assisted | Templates, checklists | Add simple triggers and notifications |
| L3 - Partial | Some steps automated | Extend automation to adjacent steps |
| L4 - Automated | End-to-end with exceptions | Handle edge cases, add monitoring |
| L5 - Autonomous | Self-healing, AI-driven | Optimize, add predictive capabilities |

ROI Model Template
WORKFLOW AUTOMATION ROI ANALYSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Process: [Name]
Current State:
• Executions/month: [N]
• Time per execution: [X] minutes
• FTE cost/hour: $[Y]
• Error rate: [Z]%
• Error cost per incident: $[W]
Monthly Cost (Manual):
• Labor: N × (X/60) × $Y = $[A]
• Error cost: N × Z% × $W = $[B]
• Total: $[A + B]
Automation Investment:
• Platform cost/month: $[C]
• Development cost (one-time): $[D]
• Maintenance cost/month: $[E]
Post-Automation:
• Automated: [P]% of executions
• Remaining manual: [100-P]% (exceptions)
• New monthly cost: $[F]
ROI:
• Monthly savings: $[A+B] - $[F+C+E] = $[G]
• Payback period: $D / $G = [months]
• Annual ROI: ($G × 12 - $D) / $D × 100 = [X]%
Common Automation Workflows
| Workflow | Trigger | Systems | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee onboarding | HRIS new hire event | HRIS → IT → Slack → LMS | Medium |
| Invoice processing | Email attachment | Email → OCR → ERP → Approval | High |
| Lead routing | CRM new lead | CRM → Enrichment → Assignment | Low |
| Incident escalation | Monitoring alert | PagerDuty → Slack → Jira | Medium |
| Report generation | Scheduled (cron) | DB → Transform → Email/Slack | Low |
| Contract renewal | Calendar trigger | CRM → Email → DocuSign → Billing | High |
