Face it, we’re all destined to be replaced by machine. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a type of software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. It handles high-volume, repeatable tasks previously done by humans. This type of software includes queries and calculations.
What Can RPA Do? RPA applies universally to any type of business; it can be used for example in IT infrastructure, services and procurement. The use cases are unlimited and span across all industries. An example use case is shown below.
The importance of RPA for process automation:
- it can improve speed, quality and productivity. It can replace un-intelligent tasks that take up a lot of time with faster and more accurate activity.
- RPA will free your employees up to perform more crucial tasks for your business, as it can take out all the mundane and repetitive jobs that they would typically perform. That way, they can move on to more important work and potentially even upskill in the future.
- RPA can help your organization save time and money, and prepare you for competition.
- Get more out of the data you have: RPA is ideally suited to help parse through large datasets, both structured and unstructured, helping organizations make sense of the data they are collecting.
We tend to produce so much data that it can be hard to process it all. There is a great opportunity for you to get more out of the data you have – learn what your insights are and see how this can drive efficiency throughout the company.
