Robotic process automation allows users to configure software robots to capture and execute human actions directly related to existing processes.
FREMONT, CA: Robotic process automation (RPA) is the implementation of automation technology that enables a software robot to mimic human activity in existing processes, including transactions, data editing, recording, or updating databases, triggering responses, and communicating with digital systems.
The RPA revolution in banking can be compared to the disruptive impact of robotics in manufacturing on the entire manufacturing industry. While RPA began primarily as back-office automation technology, banks have used it successfully to automate middle- and front-office operations over time. RPA significantly improves accuracy and processing time while increasing transaction processing productivity.
RPA has become one of these buzzwords, frequently appearing in bank and financial institution boardroom discussions worldwide. One of the banks' most effective ways to automate their processes has been through this technology. Further, RPA as a bank solution is constantly evolving to suit the automation demands of banks by adding new capabilities, additional tools, and strategic alliances.
Here are three RPA trends in financial services:
Smarter RPA bots: Numerous significant RPA solution providers have integrated AI capabilities into their RPA offerings. These AI capabilities are primarily geared toward enhancing the RPA bot's capacity to digitize, extract, and unstructured process data hidden in scanned or electronic documents.
The increasing competence of RPA solutions not only increases the number of processes that can be automated within an organization, but its capacity to capture and digitize unstructured data makes it a natural precursor for organizations seeking to implement AI applications across the enterprise. Information can be gleaned from low-quality documents using computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and ML. Additionally, the AI interface allows users to interact with the RPA bots.
Marketplace Ecosystem: Even within the financial services industry, ecommerce platforms have paved the way for a marketplace model, and in recent years, many RPA solution providers have adopted the strategy of establishing marketplaces that showcase their solutions alongside partner solutions. Most financial institutions recognize RPA's value from an automation standpoint, but few know where to begin.
RPA is frequently a subcomponent of a customer's larger automation or digital transformation strategy; as a result, building a partner ecosystem is strategic for RPA vendors. The marketplace model provides adequate one-stop-shop access to a curated list of automation tools and complementary partner solutions for financial institutions. In addition to the growing demand for RPA solutions, the increase in competition among RPA solution providers is a significant driver of RPA marketplaces.
Robotic Service Orchestration: This is another essential enabler for the successful deployment of RPA. RPA suppliers have recently invested and forged partnerships with robotic service orchestration specialists such as Enate to increase the productivity of bots within an organization.
As RPA becomes an integral part of organizations, the scalability of RPA bots, notably attended bots, requires a sophisticated central orchestration platform. This platform should be able to coordinate the many tasks necessary to carry out a process with the various systems within a business and the personnel who are directly involved.
