Robotic process automation (RPA) is the use of software with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities to handle high-volume, repeatable tasks that previously required humans to perform. These tasks can include queries, calculations and maintenance of records and transactions. RPA technology, sometimes called a software robot or bot, mimics a human worker, logging into applications, entering data, calculating and completing tasks, and logging out. RPA software isn't part of an organization's IT infrastructure. Instead, it sits on top of it, enabling a company to implement the technology quickly and efficiently -- all without changing the existing infrastructure and systems.
Robotic process automation is gaining a lot of traction as it’s being adopted and implemented in businesses of every industry. Still, there are some decision makers who are on the fence about whether RPA is worth the investment. If you are among those who aren’t 100% certain, let’s take a look at a few of the many benefits RPA can provide to your organization.
Cost Savings
One of the biggest advantages of robotic process automation is the immediate and significant reduction in expenditure it can deliver. When wor
Quality, Accurate Work
Let’s face it. Even the most careful human can and will make a mistake. Multiply those errors by the number of people you have performing routine tasks for your company, and you could be looking at a pretty costly problem. With RPA, the work is performed error-free. Better quality means higher satisfaction rates, which – again – is good for your company’s profitability.
Enhanced Cycle Time
How long does it take a human worker to perform a given task such as completing a web form? Even if it’s mere minutes, a robot could shave that time down to just a few seconds. Over time and multiplied by dozens of tasks and several staff members, this savings really begins to add up.
Employee Empowerment
Robotic process automation does not require any special technical skills. That’s why it’s an ideal application for the end-user. The ability to deploy robots to perform certain tasks without having to enlist the help of someone from IT empowers the end-user to get their jobs done more efficiently and effectively. Meanwhile, it frees up IT to focus on more important tasks and projects.
Simplicity and Flexibility
Automating tasks and workflows through RPA does not require coding or script writing. That means even complex processes can be transferred from human to machine with little effort. The faster these tasks and workflows can be automated, the sooner your organization will begin reaping the benefits. In other words, RPA delivers quick returns.
Better Control
Many companies choose to outsource so-called busy work to external parties. This, of course, comes with inherent risk. Robotic process automation can provide a better solution and since the work remains in-house, the business maintains maximum possession, control and visibility.
