What is the difference between BPM and BPA?

BPA (Business Process Automation) refers to the use of technology to automate repetitive, manual, and time-consuming tasks within a business process. BPM and BPA are related, but BPM is a broader concept encompassing the full spectrum of activities involved in managing business processes. At the same time, BPA focuses specifically on automating tasks within those processes. 

While BPM encompasses the full management discipline, BPA focuses specifically on automation technology within BPM process. Understanding this distinction helps organizations select appropriate BPM platforms.
