Robotic Process Automation
“110-140 million FTE’s could be replaced by automation tools
and software by 2020 ” - Mckinsey

How is RPA defined?
ABOUT RPA
• RPA refers to automation which interacts with a computer centric
process through the UI of the software which supports that
process and RPA is a subset of Business Process Service Delivery
Automation (BPSDA)
• Many technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), expert
systems and other process of automation have served
predecessors to RPA but RPA takes AI and expert systems to an
elevated level
• RPA is the use of computer to create a “virtualized FTE or robot”
to manipulate existing application software in the same way that a
person today processes a transaction or completes a process

RPA versus Traditional Re-engineering and BPM projects
Aspect RPA Traditional
Business Approach Focuses on replacement of FTEs
with a “virtualworker”; cost
reduction, quality improvement and
more productivity
Re-engineering of the underlying
process to drive efficiency and
create a more consistent
customer experience.
Technology approach To automate processes without
changing, replacing, compromising
or adding maintenance overhead
onto existing applications
Build new application to replace
existing; begin with
requirements definition leading
to design/development/testing
Process Approach Leave processes as it Transform and re-engineer
processes
Flexibility With machine learning can adjust If not defined, then will not be
able to support
Time to market Development and Testing
requirements are on very low end
Typically large scale efforts and
become capital expense efforts

RPA JOURNEY MAP
Assessing Robotic
Process
Automation
• Gain Understanding of RPA technology, benefits, shortcomings
• Evaluate Product Vendors
• Gain high level business support
• Identify opportunities and conduct several POC
Establish CoE
• Setup a CoE function for at least one LOB
• Provide consulting services to help LOB understand RPA,
benefits case and support deployments
• Establish dev environments and processes
Establish Scale
• Expand CoE to support company wide
• Develop Training programs to help business deploy rapidly
• Create integration frameworks and management dashboards
• Standardize security and release governance models
Embed RPA into
Normal Day to
Day
• RPA becomes part of the operational and technology fabric in
the company
• RPA becomes core to any new product development or project
• Virtual workforce becomes part any of annual planning activity
12
GETTING STARTED – HOW TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES
Suitability Analysis
• Functions /
processes viable for
RPA
• Potential savings on
migration
Benefits Analysis
• Quantitative – ROI,
ongoing, initial
costs
• Qualitative Reduced
error, faster
processing, etc.
Roadmap &
Prioritization
• Business priority
• Quick-wins
• POC
• Robotics COE
• Training
• Technology Plan
Cross-business assessment framework to evaluate RPA applicability
13
Analysis – Suitability & Potential Saving
• HC = Headcount
• Most suitable: Low complexity / volatility
and big headcount
• Suitable: low headcount / low complexity
• Potentially suitable: High complexity with a
high headcount
• Not suitable: High complexity and low
headcount
Suitability
Saving Potential
• HC Saving: Complexity factor*HC
• Support team: Volatility factor* HC
• Total HC Saving: HC saving – support team
Additional factors
• Robots work 24 hours/day without breaks
• Robots work faster than humans (2-3
times)

  • 7. 7 How is RPA defined? ABOUT RPA • RPA refers to automation which interacts with a computer centric process through the UI of the software which supports that process and RPA is a subset of Business Process Service Delivery Automation (BPSDA) • Many technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), expert systems and other process of automation have served predecessors to RPA but RPA takes AI and expert systems to an elevated level • RPA is the use of computer to create a “virtualized FTE or robot” to manipulate existing application software in the same way that a person today processes a transaction or completes a process

  • 9. 9 RPA versus Traditional Re-engineering and BPM projects Aspect RPA Traditional Business Approach Focuses on replacement of FTEs with a “virtualworker”; cost reduction, quality improvement and more productivity Re-engineering of the underlying process to drive efficiency and create a more consistent customer experience. Technology approach To automate processes without changing, replacing, compromising or adding maintenance overhead onto existing applications Build new application to replace existing; begin with requirements definition leading to design/development/testing Process Approach Leave processes as it Transform and re-engineer processes Flexibility With machine learning can adjust If not defined, then will not be able to support Time to market Development and Testing requirements are on very low end Typically large scale efforts and become capital expense efforts

Editor's Notes

  1. Global IT Robotic Automation Market estimated to reach $4.98B by 2020 with a CAGR of 60.5% over 2014-2020 RPA refers to automation which interacts with a computer centric process through the UI of the software which supports that process and RPA is a subset of Business Process Service Delivery Automation (BPSDA Many technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), expert systems and other process of automation have served predecessors to RPA but RPA takes AI and expert systems to an elevated level The arrival of new cognitive automation technologies and their piloting in progress Service providers using RPA as a means to up-end market shares in key process areas The embedding of third party RPA solutions into the core business platforms of service providers RPA will soon become part of Shared Services’ modus operandi, encouraged by cloud computing RPA Go beyond FTE cost savings Cognitive is next wave of RPA - Watson
  2. Can think about four large phases of an RPA journey
  3. You need to have some structure of a process to identify appropriate candidate for RPA focusing on Suitability, Benefits analysis and ultimately coming up with a Roadmap and prioritization list of process opporunities
  4. As you CoE gets ramped up , having a Suitability framework will help the organization weed through requests and be able to quickly validate and prioritize.
  5. You need to create a ROI calculation that takes into multiple costs as well as savings. Remer savings are not simply FTE reductions; there is quality improvement as error rates are reduced, there is productivity improvement that come from both speed as well as 24x7x365 operations , there is no worry about attrition and onboarding, training and retraining costs
  6. Tradition opportunity for application in Operations, Call Centers and process heavy areas Anywhere there is ‘swivel chair’ processing , manipulating mulitiple systems and transferring data t
  7. Tradition opportunity for application in Operations, Call Centers and process heavy areas Cognitive learning and IoT now creating opportunities for personal digital assistants that can target routine individual tasks (e.g. paying your bills, ordering groceries)
