Challenge

Processes in most companies without RPA are inefficient, costly, and can be extremely repetitive. Data not only needs to be manually entered, but it also needs to be sorted and searchable. Data that is needed in multiple places within a process will also need to be manually imported from one system to another. 

Value

Robots or “bots” are programable machines capable of carrying out a series of actions autonomously or semi-autonomously. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology platform for training, deploying, and orchestrating software robots for automating digital processes that traditionally require complex integrations or manual effort. RPA solutions can be deployed in only weeks, leading to a lower cost of implementation and quicker return than traditional systems integration. Most RPA bots operate through the user interface, using a digital “mouse” and “keyboard” to open and switch between applications, capture data, input data, and make rules-based decisions. RPA platforms are low-code, allowing us to deploy solutions at a rapid pace. 

Process For Implementation

1) Select Candidate Process 

Choose a process with repetitive tasks, well suited for RPA 

2) Proof of Concept 

Build out POC to test RPA and perform time studies 

3) Cost Benefit Analysis 

Calculate the benefit of time saved vs the cost of bot software & implementation 

4) Production 

If benefit is found, implement bots for production use 

Reduce Errors

RPA transfers data with 100% accuracy 

Save Time

RPA bots can work 24/7/365 

Decrease Cost

Bots operate at a lower cost than an offshore FTE 

Reduce Labor

One minute of bot work is equal to ~15 minutes of human work
