Manumation

Manumation is the automation of paper based processes in public sector and business without improvement regarding its efficiency.^[1] Automation of an inefficient process does not lead to an improvement in case of manumation.^[2] This term could be seen as a sarcastic description of the digital replication and mimicking of frequently ineffective and even broken paper-based processes in first phase of the societal digitalisation, from 1995 to 2015.^[1]

Manumation is also a term for automated systems, which require more manual work than the original manual process.^[3]
