The ‘Man, Machine, Mandate’ Advantage: Human-Centric Automation with Pericent

In an era where automation is reshaping industries, enterprise success hinges not just on digitizing workflows, but on doing so with people, technology, and purpose in balance. The ‘Man, Machine, Mandate’ framework offers a strategic lens for leaders to align human talent, intelligent automation, and governance. Pericent’s bpmEdge BPMS exemplifies this human-centric model—enabling organizations to enhance performance while safeguarding experience and compliance. This article explores how Pericent operationalizes this triad to power next-generation transformation.

The Automation Mandate: Beyond Efficiency

According to a McKinsey Global Survey, 70% of companies are at least piloting automation technologies, but only 30% are achieving transformative impact. The difference lies in execution—particularly in aligning automation with human workflows and enterprise goals.

Key shifts:

• From task automation to end-to-end orchestration
• From efficiency-first to experience-first automation
• From isolated tools to intelligent, integrated platforms

Pericent’s bpmEdge BPMS responds to these shifts by embedding automation into human-centric design and governance at scale.
