The low-code automation experience in Power Automate provides a solution for developers and non-developers alike to automate routine tasks from their Windows desktop, such as reporting, data entry, and scheduling. Imagine the time you might save by automating daily, repetitive tasks such as gathering information from the web, generating and emailing reports, or transferring data between applications.<\/p>\n<p>For example, say you are managing a large monthly invoicing process and would like to reduce the time spent manually copying and pasting details from Excel to an older system to compile invoices. With Power Automate, you can automate the generation of these invoices by connecting to multiple apps and data sources, such as Excel and your in-house invoicing application, and automate manual tasks such as mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, and data entry.<\/p>\n<p>This is one example of how automation might work from your Windows desktop, so keep reading to learn how <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/Win11-PowerAutomate-Web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Power Automate<\/a> is making automation more accessible in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h2>Streamline how you work in a hybrid world by automating everyday mundane tasks<\/h2>\n<p>Hybrid work and the demand for more resilient technology is here to stay, and that means your organization needs digital solutions that are freeing up time from the most redundant tasks for higher-value work. When you reallocate that time to strategic initiatives, you improve productivity and at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations from around the world are using Power Automate to provide their customers, partners, and employees with a robust automation platform that streamlines how they work. Outlined below are a few examples of how our customers from multiple industries are already harnessing low-code automation to simplify workflows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full webp-format alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman interacting with a Surface Pro laptop.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-orig-srcset=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Win19a_Consumer_0098-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Streamlining legal case load management<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Xerox<\/strong> leverages RPA in Power Automate to streamline and automate processes for their small-to-medium business customers and recently implemented an RPA bot to help streamline a legal practice\u2019s case load management.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Pri<\/em><em>or to implementing the RPA bot that Xerox built with Power Automate, this mid-sized, but growing, family-run legal firm was spending more than <strong>250<\/strong> hours a month manually processing more than <strong>1,500 <\/strong>exhibits as they worked on cases.
