Business Process Automation for CX
Introduction
Business process automation (BPA) is the silent engine powering today's companies as they achieve more efficient workflows, reduce manual tasks, and upgrade working environments for their teams. Now, it’s also instrumental for forward-thinking companies to leverage when creating unique, memorable, and compelling customer experiences (CX).
Or, at least, it should be.
BPA offers businesses a way to save money, increase staff productivity, and support the retention of high-quality employees while boosting creativity and improving CX.
That may sound nice, but you could wonder, is BPA stirring up industry hype with no substance? Or is it truly the missing puzzle piece in your CX creation process? Let's break it down, starting with a third question: How do companies create and manage CX?

Why You Need Business Process Automation for CX: Debunking Misconceptions
The Current State of Customer Experience Management
Many businesses still rely on outdated segmentation strategies, siloed creative processes, and a lack of strategic investment in CX.
And, to make matters worse for everyone concerned, these companies—which even include Fortune 500 industry titans—are often using manual processes to fuel their CX. Perhaps it’s not surprising that nearly 60 percent of 300 recently surveyed C-suite executives ranked their first-contact CX as “poor” or “inadequate.”
Manual, repetitive, and mundane CX management may threaten an organization’s ability to move forward and innovate effectively. Today’s market requires more agility, volume, and creativity than manual processes can deliver.
Don’t believe us? Here’s a closer look:
- Manual creative production is inefficient and hard to coordinate. Further, it’s time-consuming, often error-prone, and fails to deliver a CX that resonates with a diverse customer base—or that can be updated seamlessly based on real-time data.
- Manual CX trafficking, or the system you use to move CX elements from point A to B, shouldn't resemble a traffic jam. When performed manually, CX trafficking gets delayed, is chaotic, lacks visibility, and often results in a disjointed customer journey.
- Manual CX analysis and reporting are time-consuming and usually wrong. Data is gold, but manually mining and summarizing it is mind-numbing. The result? Your business lacks timely, accurate insights that could steer your strategy.
- Manual CX approvals and compliance result in a maze of red tape, endless email chains, and the ever-present dread of overlooking a detail. It's not only slow (or nonexistent), but it's also a minefield of potential missteps.
- Manual CX asset management is disorganized and inaccessible. Without a centralized system, it’s challenging to locate CX assets efficiently. This can lead to duplication, version control issues, and difficulty retrieving assets.
- Manual CX optimization and experimentation are inconsistent and slow and tend to result in redundant reinvention of the wheel. As a result, you’ll have difficulty quickly identifying ways to improve your CX or capitalize on fast-moving opportunities.
Trying to deliver modern customer experiences with manual CX processes is akin to trying to build a state-of-the-art rocketship with a stone-age toolkit. But here's the good news: There's a solution, and it's easy to implement and accessible for all.
Enter business process automation for CX.
