Understand RPA
“Robotic Process Automation” or RPA is a simple yet powerful term that enables the automation of the tedious, mundane and repetitive tasks. With the help of metaphorical robots or digital workers, it not only provides efficacy but also aids in cost reduction. It has artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based capabilities that can mimic activities that human workers do. Imagine a digital robot which is able to connect to a system and scrape error-free web data for you, that too within a blink of an eye.
Using various RPA tools, a company can have these robots to capture and interpret applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems. The scenario can range from something as simple as sending an email to deploying thousands of robots to automate several processes.
Challenges encountered by businesses
- Companies need to increase efficiency and reduce cost.
- Customer service is burdened which causes delayed and often deficient feedback regarding tickets and complaints.
- Investment in ERP systems, BPM solutions or shared services is exhaustively costly.
During this time of uncertainty, businesses are focused on cost reduction and RPA is one effective method to do so. RPA reduces employee’s time to perform error free rule-based business processes.
