Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is tending towards Cognitive Automation. The real value of RPA is registered in enterprise-wide RPA deployment rather than pin-point solutions. It not only helps in cost reduction but also enables quality adherence, productivity improvement, and compliance along with revenue enhancement across the organization. Today, RPA and Cognitive Automation are stepping up the game, with BFSI, F&A, and Shared Services being among the early adopters.
The main driver behind enterprise-wide RPA is ‘quick deployment’ while augmenting ‘existing IT investments’. The additional capabilities of creating and managing bots across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid mode help achieve major paybacks.
7 benefits of enterprise-grade RPA product
An enterprise-grade RPA product primarily offers:
- Reusable components stack
- Bot creation
- Bot management
- Seamless user experience
- Enterprise-wide automation & scalability
- Automation beyond the low hanging fruit
- RPA expert community
- Reusable components stack: Provides a library to store the created components and a functionality to reuse objects between processes
- Bot creation: Allows building bots through simple intuitive steps in a secure Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- Bot management: Helps to seamlessly monitor, manage, and modify bot deployment throughout the enterprise
- Seamless user experience: Offers a simplified IDE at the designer level, an insightful graphical user interface (GUI) at the manager level, and an intuitive front-end at the operator level
