Robotic Process Automation (RPA)is the next level of process automation: Software robots take over recurring routine tasks of human beings so that they can concentrate on valueable tasks. RPA helps to increase the data quality many times over and to improve significantly the throughput times of processes. The cost and productivity advantages of software robots lead to a higher depth of added value in process execution.

There are many promising applications for RPA in all business areas:

The Digital Assistant

Let your Digital Assistant help you - while he is executing your monotonous work, you have time for more important things. For example: At a congress you received business cards from several business partners that you want to create as new contacts in Outlook. Save typing and let a software robot do it for you:

Automation of Routine Activities

You can also use RPA to fully automate recurring routine tasks such as a quaterly statement or an SAP period shift:

Automation of Complex Processes

With RPA you are also able to automate even very complex processes. Take, for example, a support process with a multi-channel communication strategy: The customer can contact us by e-mail, telephone, chat, fax or messenger. The sofware robot is the first contact in each of these cases. He records the requests, categorizes the process, requests missing data and assigns the ticket to the correct contact person.

Modern Digitization Projects: Turning old into new!

In some industries, such as the steel industry or the insurance industry, important legacy systems still exist, for example IBM, Cobold or MainFrame applications. Usually, these monolithic applications are no longer adapted. RPA offers a solution to automate these old systems because software robots can also be used for the non-invasive integration of external systems.

What is Scheer PAS RPA?

We integrated the RPA technology ( BPaaS 17.4) in our Process Automation Suite (Scheer PAS) to allow the automation of business processes without extensive programming knowledge. Due to the platform architecture, the suite offers an optimal basis, since typical RPA components already exist (e.g. Process Designer, Process Engine, Process Mining, etc.).

Creation of Software Robots

The software robots are created by your Scheer PAS consultants in UiPath Studio, a tool of our partner UiPath. The robots are then adapted to your process. During the creation of the robot is determined what exactly the robot does and which applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint or SAP it uses.

By using software robots, you can relieve your employees of profane and monotonous tasks, since the robot - as a virtual worker - can take on a variety of tasks.

Some examples software robots can be used for:

• to control SAP.
• to manage web applications.
• to control mainframe systems.
• for extremely easy sending of e-mails.
• to generate Excel, Word, Powerpoint or PDF files.
• to integrate systems without interfaces into BPaaS processes.

Using Scheer PAS RPA

If you would like to find out which of your business processes can best be automated with Scheer PAS RPA, please contact us. We offer RPA Discovery Workshops: Together with you, our consultants will analyze which process is most suitable for entering process automation with RPA and how it can be implemented. Further information can be found on the page RPA with Scheer PAS - Dual digitization of your business processes.
