WHAT IS ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION?

Robotic Process Automation, commonly referred to as RPA, is a class of business process automation technology used to create software robots, commonly known as “bots” that automate tasks and streamline processes using human-centric interfaces. By implementing this cost-effective and scalable technology, organizations of all sizes are increasing operational efficiency by tackling high-volume tasks critical to business operations with a virtual workforce rather than increased staffing levels.

Benefits of Business Process Automation

24X7X365 – Increase productivity with bots working around the clock without the worries of sick days, vacation, or attrition.

Cost Savings –Enable your organization to increase productivity without increased head count.

Employee Engagement – Allow your staff to focus on higher-value assignments and strategic work, with bots responsible for tedious, mundane tasks.

Reduced Risk –Eliminate the risk of human error and provide audit trails for compliance and regulatory requirements.

Scalable – Maximize an agile and scalable virtual workforce that evolves with your organizations’ needs and growth.

Speed – Significantly reduce task completion time and increase processing capacity without additional resources.

Transparency – Gain instant access to detailed performance reports and business insights through data analytics for continuous improvement and productivity.

The Schneider Downs Business Process Automation Model

Consultation – Every business automation engagement starts with a consultation to better understand why your organization is interested in RPA technology and how a virtual workforce can work for you.

Process Analysis – Business processes that are identified as candidates for automation will be scored on their potential implementation difficulty and cost benefit.

Development and Pilot – Once a process is selected, the Schneider Downs team will provide a detailed analysis to document the tasks involved in the workflow and move forward with the RPA development and deploy the pilot.

Integration – Information from the pilot provides critical feedback that is used to optimize and refine the bot for full-scale deployment.

On average the business automation development can take anywhere between two to eight weeks based on business process documentation, development, testing and task complexity.
