ATHUS-RPAYour Enterprise Robotics Process

Automation Platform

Robotic process automation (RPA) is the application of technology that allows employees in a company to configure computer software or a “robot” to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems. An Enterprise-Bot is a task / process specific instance that is responsible for a specific labor.

ATHUS-RPA is a technology platform to define, instantiate and manage enterprise-bots across an organization. Including its value-chain.

RPA is a category of software tools that enable complex digital processes to be automated by performing them in the same way a human user might perform them, using the user interface and following a set of predefined rules.

What sets RPA apart from other automation technologies is that its ability to imitate a human user of one or more information systems reduces development time and extends the range of functions that can be automated across a much wider range of business activities.

The smart machine era will be the most disruptive in the history of IT and business processes. This is where ATHUS-RPA excels

Robotic process automation (RPA) is an emerging form of clerical process automation technology based on the notion of software robots or artificial intelligence (AI) workers

Enterprise-Grade Bots

ATHUS-RPA is a generic tool, based on our patented technology, to create specialized agents which can automate clerical tasks. RPA is currently one of the most popular Artificial Intelligence (AI) application areas as it allows companies with legacy systems to automate their workflows and business processes while guarding data integrity across the enterprise. Companies are excited about RPA solutions mainly because:

• Most large global companies still rely on legacy systems• A large share of knowledge workers still complete automatable and repetitive work using numerous

systems including. Knowledge usually resides with these clerical individuals and it is highly probable that this knowledge is not documented or gathered at all.

Industry is ripe for RPA automation. However, RPA can have greater impact in some industries than others. RPA is a solution you should put at the top of your company’s agenda if your business fits any of these descriptions:

Employees are wrestling with the swivel-chair effect.

Performing many repetitive tasks

There is a long and complex backlog of legacy integration needs. This can not only be time consuming but error-

prone as well

Tasks within processes require higher levels of compliance

RPA should be combined with changes in the relevant business process. If the goal is to go beyond basic labor arbitrage savings to improve the process — and it should be — then companies need a good understanding of both their existing business processes and the new processes they want RPA to enable before implementing the technology. The hope for any organization is that instilling a continuous-improvement culture becomes a catalyst that makes further improvement easier. This is the great value provided ATHUS-RPA.

However, many companies don’t do that. Their RPA implementations support the “as-is” process, with no improvement or examination of the current process steps that are automated. As a result, they may achieve modest savings, but in many cases they will miss out on opportunities to dramatically improve process outcomes, quality, costs, and cycle times.

ATHUS-RPA Best Practices

As industrial robots transformed the factory floor, ATHUS-RPA bots transform back offices. Our bots replicate employee actions like opening files, inputting data, copy pasting fields in an automated way …

Possible Processes for ATHUS-RPA Bots

- Launching and using various applications including - Opening emails and attachments - Logging into applications- Moving files and folders - Integrating with enterprise tools by connecting to system

APIs - Reading and writing to databases - Augmenting your data by scraping data from the web

including social media

- Data processing: Following logical rules such as “if/then” rules

- Making calculations - Extracting data from documents - Inputting data to forms - Extracting and reformatting data into reports or

dashboards - Merging data from multiple sources - Copying and pasting data

Focusing employees on higher value-added activities will result in improved business metrics. Depending on the focus on the business, these could impact top or bottom line. Some positions already serve as stepping stone for higher value-added jobs. For example, call center personnel cold calling customers with new offers make the ideal face-to-face sales people as well. Face-to-face sales is easier, with higher conversion rates and higher ticket goods sold. RPA and AI will reduce these stepping stones as those lower-value add positions are automated and humans focus on higher value-added activities

Tangible Benefits for your Enterprise

Once you have proved the benefit and viability of RPA projects, you need to consider how you can launch new RPA projects effectively.

Most innovative and forward looking companies choose to deploy an ATHUS-RPA Center of Excellence in order to help corporate teams launch, audit and improve RPA projects. The crucial thing here is ownership. The business units themselves must be responsible for RPA installations or else center of excellence teams will find themselves responsible for processes they do not completely understand. Center of excellence teams should focus on aggregating, documenting and be the overall custodians of corporate best practices. This will help teams ramp up quickly.

Since procure-to-pay process involves extracting invoice and payment data from multiple systems like enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), banks, vendors, logistics companies and since not all these systems provide easy integration methods they generally involve some form of manual labor. These are all critical business processes for Valmet.

Claims processing is at the heart of every insurance company. Since customers make claims at a time of misfortune for them, customer experience and speed are critical in claims processing. There are numerous factors that create issues during claims processing such as

• Manual/inconsistent processing: Claims processing often involves manual analyses completed by outsourced personnel.

• Input data of varying formats: Customers send in data with various formats• Changing regulation: No insurance company has the luxury of not accommodating to changes in

regulation in a timely manner. This requires constant staff training and process update.

These lead to human biases in claims processing which can lead to losses, customer dissatisfaction and lack of visibility in a crucial process.

In Conclusion

RPA does simplify your information environment. The technology is sometimes described as supporting “swivel chair” processes involving a lot of back-and-forth access to multiple information systems. In many cases, however, the process could extract all the necessary information at once from a system —that is, with less swiveling. Often, there are also built-in checkpoints for processes previously performed by human workers that are no longer needed with RPA — because, at least after any initial kinks are resolved, RPA doesn’t generally make mistakes and therefore doesn’t require checking.

A process enabled by RPA will become much more efficient and effective than a process that is automated but otherwise unchanged. Redesigning processes while implementing RPA will definitively increase the time and cost of the overall initiative, but the return on investment will be as great or greater when compared with RPA implementations with no process change. RPA-enabled process transformation can bring a much higher level of performance and value. RPA in which the “P” stands for process improvement and innovation is a much more valuable tool than simple task automation. Implement RPA to its fullest.
