PROCESIO: The automation solution built for real enterprise problems

Enterprise automation isn’t easy. You’ve got misaligned teams, outdated tools, and technologies that simply don’t scale. At PROCESIO, we’ve seen these challenges up close, and we’ve learned what it really takes to deliver solutions that work. 

In this article, I’ll share the biggest hurdles we’ve faced in enterprise automation and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

The biggest challenge when building PROCESIO

When we built PROCESIO, we thought that technical teams would line up for it and just take it “off the shelf.”

We were wrong. We weren’t able to sell PROCESIO as we were expecting

The biggest, most unexpected challenge was going to market. Our assumptions didn’t match reality, and technical people weren’t as interested in our technology as we anticipated. We couldn’t sell at the speed or rate we initially planned.

So, what did we do?

We pivoted. A lot. More than 10 pivots over the last 4 years.

We redefined everything:

➡️ Who the product is for (our Ideal Customer Profile).

➡️ What the product solves (clear use cases and value propositions).

➡️ How we position the technology (messaging and features).

➡️ How and who we sell it to (buyer personas).

Each iteration brought us closer to the current positioning:

🟢 We sell to business people. 

🟢 We solve real problems.

🟢 We provide practical, easy-to-implement, and fast to deliver solutions. 

🟢 We minimize friction wherever we can (whether that’s in sales, onboarding, or adoption) and we succeed.

We understand that delivering performant technology is not enough. We must provide practical solutions that effectively and with minimal friction solve actual problems for real business users. 

That means:

➡ Smooth implementation.

➡ Quick results.

➡ Easy adoption.

When we shifted focus from the tech teams to business people, things started to click. We removed friction from the entire process: from sales to implementation to operations. That’s when success became real.

The biggest lesson:

✅ Be flexible. Stay agile. Adapt fast.

There’s a Romanian saying: “The plan you make at home doesn’t match what happens in reality.” And it’s true. What we thought we’d do when we started PROCESIO is completely different from what we’re doing now.

Our initial plan didn’t work, and that’s okay. Don’t get attached to your assumptions. Be open to adjusting your beliefs, learning from the market, and changing direction.

Today, our team operates differently. We’re flexible, we adapt faster, and we’re more open-minded about what works and what doesn’t.

And because of that, we’re now solving real problems and delivering real value to businesses. That’s what matters most.

The biggest challenge in enterprise automation: Alignment 

Everybody knows it. 

Not everyone admits it

The biggest challenge in enterprise automation isn’t technical. It isn’t even about the budget.

It’s about alignment.

When enterprises decide to automate, here’s what happens:

➡ Multiple departments get involved.

➡ Different people with different priorities need to agree on the same solution.

➡ Everyone has to align on how to buy, implement, and use the technology, as well as what outcomes they’re aiming for.

➡ And that’s where things get stuck.

Aligning everyone is the hardest part.

Think about it. How often do people agree instantly? Rarely. Now scale that to a large enterprise where decisions impact entire teams, workflows, and outcomes. 

Aligning everyone’s interests (the stakeholders, the departments, and the leadership) is the biggest obstacle to progress.

It’s not about the technology itself. You can have the best solution on the market, but if you can’t align the human parts and get everyone on the same page, it doesn’t matter.

This challenge isn’t unique to enterprises. It affects humanity as well. Whether you’re talking about a company, a community, or society, you need alignment.

The enterprises that succeed are the ones that master this:

➡ Understanding everyone’s needs.

➡ Connecting departments and people.

➡ Linking priorities to achieve shared outcomes.

➡ Automating processes to solve real-world problems people face.

And when you get the people aligned, the technology will follow.

Understanding Enterprise Automation and how to deal with IT departments

The last thing IT departments need? 

Another project landing on their already full plate.

Usually, a business leader (CEO, CFO, COO, or department manager) identifies a problem and asks us to solve it.

That means we need the technical department, the IT department, the CIO, the security team, and others to get involved and validate our solution. 

But the IT departments already have a lot on their plates. They have months-long roadmaps and multiple projects in progress, and they’re often understaffed. The last thing they need is “one more project” landing on their desks.

Therefore, when business leaders approach IT with a new solution, IT’s reaction is often:

🔴 “Great. Now I need to validate it, check security, expose APIs, integrate it… and I already have enough on my plate…”

We understand the pressure IT teams face because we’ve seen it firsthand. And that’s why PROCESIO is the best friend an IT department can have. 

Why? We don’t just hand over a tool and walk away. 

We come up with a plan, handle the heavy lifting, and integrate it easily into their workflows with minimal effort on their part.

We don’t just add another project to their already full plate; we help them clear it. We take the problem off their hands, deliver the solution, and ensure it works without creating extra headaches.

When we work with enterprises, we guide both business and IT teams through the process before the project even starts:

➡ We show you exactly how implementation works, step by step.

➡ We bring the expertise, resources, and processes to get it done.

➡ We deliver results without adding extra work to IT.

➡ We make life easier for IT and business teams alike.

And in enterprise automation, that means earning the trust of both business leaders and IT.

The difference between PROCESIO and RPA tools

Many people confuse Intelligent Automation with RPA.

They’re not the same.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is the foundational layer upon which Intelligent Automation is built.

RPA has its place. It’s valuable when you need to link systems that don’t have APIs or direct data connections. 

But it comes with multiple challenges:

⭕ It’s brittle.

If the software’s user interface changes or if Windows rolls out an update, RPA flows break. Suddenly, you need an army of people to fix and maintain them.

⭕ It’s hard to scale.

RPA runs on machines. Whether it’s a VM (virtual machine) or a user’s computer. Scaling this across an enterprise isn’t easy. You need orchestrators, infrastructure management, and layers of complexity that turn into headaches.

⭕ It’s resource-intensive.

Building and maintaining complex business processes with RPA is challenging. You must constantly fight to keep things running smoothly.

At PROCESIO, we see RPA as just another tool in the box, like an API.

If a system doesn’t have an API, fine. We’ll use RPA to bridge that gap. But that’s where it ends. We orchestrate the entire process, not just one piece.

The main differences between PROCESIO and RPA tools:

✅ Scalability

PROCESIO scales automatically. Need to scale it one million times? It does it automatically. With RPA, good luck.

✅ Simplicity 

We remove the need for manual orchestration, infrastructure headaches, and maintenance.

✅ Flexibility

PROCESIO connects to whatever you need – APIs, storage environments, email, or RPA (if required), and handles the rest.

As software evolves, legacy systems will be replaced with modern tools that come with APIs. The reliance on RPA will shrink. And when that happens, you’ll need a solution that’s built for the future, not stuck in the past.

That’s why we built PROCESIO.

PROCESIO vs UiPath and Power Automate

When people talk about automation, two names often come up: UiPath and Power Automate. 

These tools have their place, and they also have their limitations.

⭕ UiPath

UiPath excels at RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and that’s their bread and butter. RPA is needed when systems don’t have APIs or direct connections to data. But it comes with challenges:

➡ High cost of entry. Licenses are expensive, limiting how far enterprises and partners can take the tool.

➡ Maintenance headaches. RPA is brittle, flows break when systems or UIs update. Fixing them requires a lot of time, effort, and people.

➡ Scalability issues. RPA runs on machines or VMs. Scaling it is complex and painful.

That’s why enterprises are looking for alternative tools that are faster, more reliable, and cost-effective.

⭕ Microsoft Power Automate 

Microsoft Power Automate is a solid automation tool, especially for businesses already using the Microsoft ecosystem. But it comes with its own challenges:

➡ Feature limitations. Access to functionality is restricted by pricing tiers, which can force businesses to compromise on their automation needs.

➡ Per-user pricing. The cost is based on the number of users, not actual usage. This adds up quickly and limits scalability for growing teams.

➡ Performance bottlenecks. Power Automate can be slow, especially when running more complex workflows or processes.

➡ Limited flexibility. Power Automate supports only one scripting language, which can be restrictive for teams with more advanced needs.

While Power Automate integrates well with the Microsoft suite, its limitations make it more difficult to scale and customize for broader, enterprise-level automation needs.

🟢 PROCESIO

PROCESIO was built to overcome the limitations of traditional automation tools like UiPath and Power Automate. It’s designed to be faster, more flexible, and easier to scale:

✔️ No hidden limits. Pay for what you use, all features included, no surprises.

✔️ Blazing fast execution. 3x faster than Power Automate. Speed you can rely on.

✔️ Flexible scripting. Four languages, and the freedom to add more.

✔️ Painless scaling. PROCESIO scales automatically, no orchestration headaches.

✔️ Built for your needs. Advanced forms, reusable templates, and endless customization.

Microsoft’s distribution and ecosystem are unmatched, no one can argue with that. UiPath has strong roots in RPA and an impressive presence in the automation market.

But PROCESIO is worth a closer look if you care about faster, more flexible, and easier-to-scale technology.
