Manumation is the automation of paper based processes in public sector and business without improvement regarding its efficiency. Automation of an inefficient process does not lead to an improvement in case of manumation. 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.
Manumation is also a term for automated systems, which require more manual work than the original manual process.
