05. Process
Softomate maps existing workflows, selects the right automation toolchain, builds tested pipelines and hands over governed automation in short delivery phases. Operations leads, IT contacts and compliance owners stay involved from discovery through launch, so every workflow meets business rules, data handling standards and UK GDPR requirements.
Existing workflows, manual touchpoints, data sources and integration points are mapped in discovery workshops with operations managers, IT leads and compliance owners. Discovery produces a workflow inventory, integration list and compliance requirement brief before automation scope is agreed.
Automation toolchain selection, delivery phases and UK GDPR data handling rules are agreed with stakeholders and data owners during planning. Planning produces a delivery roadmap, technology stack decision and acceptance criteria covering workflow behaviour, error handling and audit requirements.
Workflow logic, error handling paths, retry policies and UK GDPR audit controls are designed with process owners and technical leads. Design produces approved workflow diagrams, Python module specifications and Azure Logic Apps connector mappings before any build work starts.
Working automation scripts, pipelines and integrations are built in short sprints with operations leads and IT contacts reviewing each workflow. Build produces Python automation, Docker containers, REST API integrations, Apache Airflow DAGs and UK GDPR audit logging across all workflow stages.
Live automation deployment, monitoring and tuning happen after user acceptance sign-off with operations managers and compliance reviewers. Launch produces a production deployment, monitoring alerts, exception reporting and an optimisation backlog for further workflow improvements.
