What is managed process automation?

Managed process automation is a service where a provider builds the automation or tool that does a repeated job, then runs and maintains it for a monthly fee. You get the job done. The provider looks after the system that does it.

An agency or consultant	The agency	Usually you, sometimes with a support contract	A fee for the build, then any support	Built around your job	A new piece of work, or you change it yourselves
Off-the-shelf software	The software company, for all its customers	You, on the vendor's product	A subscription	You adapt your process to the product	You wait for the product to change, or work around it
Building it in-house	Your own people	Your own people	The cost of building and maintaining it yourselves	Built around your job	Your own people change it

When it suits

The job is done the same way, over and over.
You'd rather have the job done than build and look after a system yourselves.

When something else suits better

If a product already does the job well, use it.
You want a system your own people run and change. Building it in-house, or having an agency build it, suits that better.
The work is different every time. Automation suits work that repeats.
