On a daily basis, we all have to perform repetitive activities which, if not carried out or poorly planned, can have a considerable impact on company results. Did you know that robots are the solution to this demand? Robotic Process Automation (RPA) performs repetitive tasks within a business process, whether primary or support, without the need for human intervention, guaranteeing increased productivity, reduced errors and avoiding rework. In this way, professionals can concentrate on more strategic and complex activities, which require judgment, subjective analysis and a series of factors that only humans have the "power" to decide - leaving subordinate matters to the automation process.
But what is RPA anyway?
It's a strategy for automating business process tasks that involve interaction with information systems through the use of robots. Don't think we're talking about robots in the sense of "equipment", like the ones we're used to seeing around. It's actually software, developed to interact with other programs. They can range from simple devices that only perform repetitive tasks, to more advanced functions that use artificial intelligence to allow them to go further in functions that require analysis for decision-making. As well as being highly flexible, this solution makes it possible to integrate processes without customizing resources. This makes it possible, for example, to give a new "face" to an old, legacy system, which doesn't have a mobile interface, in a very short time.
Still not satisfied with the advantages of acquiring an RPA for your company? Then let's list a few more advantages of this technology.
Access control
During the use of the Robot system in the company, the entire procedure is recorded, so that it can be explored and improved. This is crucial for both internal and external audits, and for compliance purposes, which is very important for guaranteeing the company's security and reference.
Calculation and classification
The efficient process automation programming code is designed to be extremely scalable. So instead of deleting and remodeling the current system, they simply adapt to other codes and are reused. In other words, you can have a range of components that will be created independently of time, and that will be used in certain processes, according to your operation.
Security and mobility
With RPA software, the company is protected from possible attempts to steal files, alter documents or any other type of harmful action. What's more, control of this process is not just located at a particular destination. In fact, RPA can be operated from anywhere, at any time, with only a minimal structure required for its operation.
Optimized performance
The system is able to operate more quickly and optimize its actions for greater company productivity. RPA carries out operations that would take longer with human labor. As a result, company actions can be taken more effectively, without wasting time, enabling even greater efficiency.
Positive internal feedback
It is well known that, in order to keep an employee motivated in the company, one thing that must be avoided is repetitive activities.When you and your team are organized and delegate strategic tasks to each other, the company increases its productivity and improves employee results.
With these tips and explanations about RPA, it's already clear that having Robotic Process Automation is one of the essential factors for your company's growth, isn't it? So don't leave any room for error and get this cutting-edge technology now.
MONTREAL, the present future.
