Robotic Process Automation (RPA) allows businesses to automate routine tasks that are mostly structured, rigid, and tedious to do, particularly those involving manual repetition interacting with digital systems. RPA scenarios range from being as simple as generating an automatic email response to deploying thousands of bots, each programmed to automate jobs in a specific system. 

 

The best processes to automate are those which are repetitive, prone to human error, involve digital data, time critical and are rule-based. Automating these types of jobs can free up the workforce to drive innovation in key performance areas in the business.

What can your organisation achieve with RPA?

RPA: Reduction in costs

Reduction in costs

By automating tasks, cost savings of nearly 30% can be achieved over the output of productivity.

RPA: Better customer experience

Better customer experience

Deploying RPA helps enable faster and more accurate responses. There are examples in financial services where the customer on-boarding experience has been reduced from weeks to hours

Improvements to Employee Engagement

Improvements to employee engagement

Engaging bots frees up your employees to work on more fulfilling, rewarding and business beneficial tasks

Lower operational risk

Lower operational risk

By eliminating human factors, such as tiredness or lack of knowledge, RPA reduces the rate of errors to close to 100%. 

RPA: Internal processes

Improved internal processes

In order to leverage AI and RPA, businesses need to define clear governance procedures around internal reporting, on-boarding and other internal activities

RPA: IT Efficiencies

Efficiencies with existing IT systems

One of the biggest advantages of using an RPA bot is that it can be set up and applied in weeks and immediately achieve reductions in time and cost.

Our approach to RPA

 

We help organisations implement and scale RPA programmes to achieve the best process efficiency in the shortest time frame. We achieve this through a robotics Centre of Excellence, our dedicated team of RPA experts, and by applying our tried-and-tested RPA framework. 

RPA Framework

RPA Engagement Framework for successful automation programme

Discovery

RPA framework - Discovery stage

Discovery is an important step in setting the right foundations for your RPA programme. Both IT and business stakeholders get together to define a detailed plan:

  • Business context - summarise your business plan so that everyone knows what they are working towards.
  • Stakeholder engagement - onboard domain/ department/ system owners, understand their objectives and get their buy-in for a smooth adoption.
  • Business Prioritisation - the automation pipeline is defined based on your business objectives. The processes that can be automated are also identified and the process metrics, input readiness and technology landscape are recorded.
  • Manual processes analysis  - analysis of the proportion of the process to be automated. We do this by applying the criteria covering the number of personnel in the process, the number of hours per day per employee spent, the number of times per year per employee spent and the average pay per hour.
  • Process Mining - optionally we use Process Mining to reverse engineer and draw a complete end-to-end landscape of processes in your organisation. The generated visualisation helps understand deeper how these processes are used, the existing variants and much more.
  • Strategic analysis - Is RPA an ultimate goal or an intermediate solution while API integration is created?

Foundation

Lay solid foundations from the very start.

  • ROI Analysis - the calculation of savings for one year. This is determined by a combination of manual hours saved, quality improvement through error reduction, productivity gain, improved business agility, increased customer satisfaction & brand awareness and improved regulatory compliance & data governance.
  • Platform set-up - prepare the environment to execute bots, and make sure the security and access to systems are configured.
  • Agree and document the design principles & development standards.

Design

RPA framework - Design stage

During the Design stage, we prepare to and build your first robot.

  • Installations of the necessary software on servers and laptops.
  • Define CX - the end goal of automation in layman's terms and define the customer experience. This includes the output of automation and the format it is received in. Any training required is also identified.
  • The hands-on design includes optimal recorders, commands for extracting data, identifying & handle any object for dynamic properties, solutions and any hurdles. We also detail any predicted scenarios.
  • Define Modules - the building blocks of the automation, creating re-utilisable functions and subfunctions.
  • The Monitoring Plan defines who monitors the bots, how automation picks up where it left off and how errors are handled.
  • Process Workflow - we define if the current process or personnel need to be adjusted to effectively utilise automation.
  • First Robot- It is time to build your first robot!
