Which approach fits your work?
Start with the work you currently do by hand. The guide shows an approach worth exploring.
Start the guideWhere is the manual work?
The same data in different places
A change in one system needs to reach another system too.
Connect your systemsTasks waiting for other tasks
Processing in one system cannot start until another task has finished.
Schedule and monitor workflowsForwarding files by hand
Sending files, checking receipt and following up on failed transfers.
Organise file transfersInformation in emails and documents
Reading incoming messages and attachments before you can process their data.

Compare solutionsProcess automation and RPA
Fortra Automate
Automate performs recurring tasks according to configured rules. It can work through application screens using RPA (Robotic Process Automation), or through connections between systems.
- When it may help
- When people repeat the same data entry and processing steps, and the rules are clear.
- Example
- For example, retrieving data, processing it according to set rules and preparing a report.
- What to check first
- What exceptions occur, which access permissions are needed and who checks changes to the process or application?
System integration
Harmonizer
Harmonizer connects applications through a managed integration service. Data is retrieved, transformed and passed to another system according to agreed rules.
- When it may help
- When the same information is needed in different places and people currently copy it across by hand.
- Example
- For example, passing an update to customer details into another business system.
- What to check first
- Which system holds the correct information? Which connections are possible, and what should happen when data is missing or does not match?
Workload automation and orchestration
BMC Control-M
Control-M schedules and monitors automated tasks across systems. You define what must happen first and which step follows. This is known as workload automation or workflow orchestration.
- When it may help
- When tasks depend on each other and timing, progress and failure handling matter.
- Example
- For example, processing data once its delivery is complete, then starting a reporting task.
- What to check first
- Which dependencies and deadlines apply? Who receives an alert, and what is needed to continue after a failure?
Intelligent Automation and AI workflows
Lleverage
Lleverage uses AI to process information from emails and documents and connect it to steps in a business process. Integrations can pass the output to existing systems.
- When it may help
- When people need to read varied texts or documents and manually copy information from them.
- Example
- For example, extracting order details from an email and preparing them for review before they are processed in the order management system.
- What to check first
- Which data may AI use, when should a person review the output and how will uncertain or incorrect results be handled?
Secure file exchange and MFT
Kiteworks
Kiteworks helps you share sensitive files with controlled access and automate transfers between systems using Managed File Transfer (MFT). You can manage access, monitor transfers and record who sends or receives which files.
- When it may help
- When you exchange files with customers, suppliers or other systems and need control over access and transfers.
- Example
- For example, delivering an order file to a supplier at an agreed time, with access for the intended recipient and follow-up if the transfer fails.
- What to check first
- Who may access the files, what storage and retention requirements apply, and how should failed transfers be handled? Also check which systems need to connect.
Keep control of file transfers
Is your main concern getting files to the right recipient on time? Managed File Transfer (MFT) helps you centrally schedule and monitor file transfers, with access controls and a record of transfers.
Think of a daily order file sent to a supplier. A failed transfer also needs to be detected and followed up.
Explore Managed File TransferDoes the information need interpreting first?
Fixed rules are not always enough, for example when classifying incoming emails. Intelligent Automation combines process automation with AI assistance. Agree which outputs a person should review and how exceptions will be handled.
When Intelligent Automation may fitUnderstand the process before choosing a tool
I'm Joshua Boermans, Automation Consultant at Korper. I explore what could be automated and whether it is worthwhile. If it makes sense to proceed, I work with technical colleagues to create an implementation plan.
Understand the work
We discuss what is done manually, how often it happens and where it gets stuck.
Consider the approach
We look at the potential value, existing systems, exceptions and checks that are needed.
Agree a next step
If automation looks appropriate, we agree a next step and you receive a short summary.
Before choosing a solution
Can we keep our existing systems?
That is one of the first things we explore. Sometimes you can build on what is already there. The options depend on available connections, access permissions and changes to the applications, among other things.
What determines the cost?
The scope of the process, connections, exceptions and ongoing management. Software licences or a subscription may also be needed. The first conversation is free; technical design and the effort required are discussed separately.
Which part of your work would you like to simplify?
You do not need to choose a product yet. Briefly describe the work that keeps coming back. I reply to your request within one working day to arrange a time.
