Before
we start looking into Microsoft Flow in this tutorial series,
we will discuss why you should automate business processes
in the first place.
In the demo below, Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, talks about the benefits
of SharePoint automation compared to manual processes.
Accuracy
A flow always works in the same way, so once you have tested
the flow and made sure that it works as it should, you can
rely on its accuracy. The flow follows the same process
in the same way every time. It does not make mistakes or
variations now and then, like we humans do.
Tracking
With a flow, it is easy to track processes. Flows can log
and document what has been done, something that is often
requested by the management and sometimes even by law. Such
tasks are often boring to perform manually.
Speed
Even if flows normally have a delay of 5 minutes, they perform
most processes much quicker than a human can do.
