Human Intervention is Inconsistent and Error Prone
Processes are not always started at the scheduled time as vacations, illness, job changes, and person availability impact the ability to kick off the process
Humans often miss key values or make data entry mistakes when choosing date ranges, account ranges, well identifiers, etc.
Humans may choose the wrong source or target by mistake
Human Intervention is expensive – An automated process can execute and run an automated process in a fraction of time a human can
Automation is consistent, reliable, cost effective
Dependencies are easier to build within an automated process than they are to explain, maintain, and perform consistently for a human operator
Automation avoids problems caused by humans who forgot, or were too busy to handle a manually performed repetitive task
