ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION

What is RPA?

Robotic Process Automation is one of the top technology strategies of innovation that allows businesses to transform and automate to boost the Productivity and Efficiency of their daily repetitive and rule-oriented tasks that require actions to be performed in different systems, applications, and websites, thorough solutions in the form of digital robots, that will perform the processes and consume their workload in a fast and accurate manner, without compromising the quality, security, and criticality of the business processes.

RPA is the perfect ally to collaborate with the humans and finally, allow them to excel all their potential for the most enjoyable tasks related to the business, decision making, and creativity to expand their market and profitability.

Does RPA suit my business?

Robotic Process Automation’s goal is to consume all the daily repetitive, rule-oriented tasks that rarely change in the time; in other words, all the commonly boring tasks of a business that are even painful for the Carpal tunnel of your collaborators; if your business has several of those processes, there is the need of Automation.

Several technologies can help to automate your business processes; however, we recommend RPA for large companies, with demanding processes and high workloads, to guarantee the return on your investment. You can start with a business self-quick assessment on this point.

How to start with RPA in my business?

Adopting new technologies sometimes seems to be challenging, however, RPA can be easily implemented if you can be advised properly by real RPA Experts that are willing to help you discover and apply the right solutions for your business and see tangible added value for your investment.
If your company passes the self-quick assessment, no matter what your RPA consultancy company in preference will be, we strictly recommend you can:

Get an RPA Expert to guide you and clarify every single question you may have, with words that you can understand, and only continue with the process if you feel completely comfortable with how you are being advised. Also, make sure to ask them to guide you through the preparation of your business processes for RPA.

Make sure the RPA Experts perform an opportunity assessment that can provide you an overview of the status of the processes in your business that are ready to automate and those that require transformation; in most cases, there is the need of transforming your processes to better suit with RPA. The processes ordered by complexity and readiness will form the pipeline of automation.
You must be aware that not all the RPA consultancy companies are equipped with experts in Digital Transformation and Business Process Improvement that can enable or help you to enable your processes for RPA.

Select from the top processes in the pipeline to start a more deep and detailed process analysis by the RPA Experts including another document with the requirements and forecast of the costs of implementation.
If the documentation provided to you by the RPA Experts is understandable and easily verifiable with the Subject Matter Experts of your business processes and so the forecast of costs and Return of Investment (ROI), you can evaluate if the RPA implementation project will add value to your business or not.

The described steps are commonly part of the first phases of an RPA implementation lifecycle. Be aware that this phase will have a cost with your RPA consultancy company of preference and the implementation costs are in addition and will be in function of the process’s complexity and technology applied; however, we encourage you to review with attention and ask for clarification of all the details in any contract beforehand signing them.

How can Digital Robots and Humans co-exist in my business?

The answer is simple, in the same way, humans work with their computers along with other colleagues, but even better.

Our experienced team of RPA consultants can guide you through each phase of the RPA implementation, guiding you and your team to get an easy understanding of how your business processes will be performed by the digital robots and how they will interact with your staff.

What will be the HHRR department for the Digital Robots in my business?

As known in the strategy of some companies, sometimes, the HHRR department is owned by the company and in some other cases, there are partner companies that help with the HHRR services as third party services; so, having this as a reference, the HHRR department of your digital robots will be the RPA Center of Excellence (CoE) or RPA department, owned or as the third party.

We can help you get the most experienced RPA consultants for your third-party RPA CoE, so you can continue taking care of the business, and the RPA team assigned to your company, with your new brand digital robots, will do the rest for you.
