Why RPA is the Start of the Automation Journey
© 2017 by NelsonHall.
Definitions
• RPA is a technology which:
• Accesses the user interface of third party applications
• Is configured to execute steps identically to a human user (workflow plus execution)
• Currently solely used for rule-based activity and incorporates zero cognitive capability
• Deterministic in nature
• Example products: UIPath, Blue Prism, automation anywhere
• AI is cognitive in nature and encompasses machine learning, natural language processing etc. Key characteristics of AI/cognitive that RPA lacks are:
• Ability to undertake judgmental processes
• Ability to adapt the process as it learns
• Largely based on statistical techniques so probabilistic in nature whereas RPA is deterministic
• Example products: Celaton, IPSoft Amelia, TCS Ignio, IBM Watson, Wipro Holmes

Examples of RPA Application & Benefits within F&A BPS
• Within finance & accounting, RPA most applicable to procure-to-pay• P2P: supplier management & catalog management, 3-way
matching, reconciliations
• O2C: customer data management, cash application, reconciliation
• R2R: reporting, inter-company accounting, reconciliations
• Examples• Vendor master creation: 35% FTE saving
• Invoice processing (3-way matching & posting): 35%
• Invoice data capture & data entry: 20%-25% productivity
• Vendor queries: 20%-25% FTE savings
• Remediating errors in billing data: 25% cost reduction
• Overall impact across entirety of F&A is ~20% cost reduction, typically achieved over 2-3 year period

Examples of RPA Application & Benefits within BFSI
• Automation of application sign-on process• 28 applications/multiple log-ins due to time-outs
• Automation of login and access to required application page
• eAdjudicator• Automated matching of claims parameters against rule library
• 70% reduction in “support FTEs”
• New business data entry (insurance)• Swivel-chair across multiple, unsynchronized screens
• Automated data entry
• 30%-40% efficiency improvement
• Trauma quotations• Approve endorsements, update cases, & generate quote documents & letters
• Healthcare Payer• Provider contract data management, largely contract validation (75%
automated)
• 4 bots in 90 days
• Productivity improvement of 40%

Requirements for Successful Application of RPA
Guidelines
• Need CxO sponsorship
• Need early proof-of-concept
• Avoid highly volatile processes
• Avoid highly fragmented processes
• Select process for improvement prior to tool selection
• Establish Center of Excellence
• Be prepared to use toolkit rather than single RPA magic bullet
• Design for STP
• Use savings from RPA to fund new initiatives
NelsonHall-Proprietary – Not for distribution without permission 14
• Process improvement expertise
• Rule-based process with strong standard operating procedures
• Standardized processes
• Digitized structured data
• Agent change management
• RPA governance
• Involve in-house IT
• Don’t run before you can walk
• But be prepared to reorganize process steps

Moving to New Digital Process Models
© 2017 by NelsonHall.
Combining Data Mining, Analytics and Execution
• “Sense”: ability to assimilate and mine diverse data sources, both internal and external, both structured and unstructured (via text mining techniques) (cognitive)
• “Think”: ability to identify trends & patterns and make predictions and estimate risk (predictive analytics)
• “Act”: execute context-aware autonomous actions (RPA)
• “Learn”: improving its knowledge on a continuous basis and self-learning its context (machine learning)

Example of New Digital Process Model: Source-to-Pay
• Sourcing strategy & category management• Vendor investigation: cognitive
• Vendor decisioning: Predictive analytics
• Contract management• KYV data extraction: cognitive
• Ordering & Supply Management• PO communication: RPA
• Supplier master modification: RPA
• Invoice Processing• 2-way/3-way invoice matching & posting: RPA
• Helpdesk• Chatbot: cognitive
• Compliance/Analysis• Online reputation monitoring: social media analytics
• Preventing fraudulent transactions: predictive analytics

Other Elements in S2P Digital Process Model
• BPM backbone
• Supplier portal
• Procurement SaaS platform

Example of New Digital Process Model: Claims Processing & Underwriting
• Mobile & self-service customer interfaces and/or broker portal
• Analyze and cross-reference public domain and claim report information• Cognitive: machine vision, voice recognition & NLP
technologies
• Vendor investigation: cognitive
• Detect anomalies while processing claims• Machine learning
• Predict probability of fraud• Predictive analytics using data from internal and external
sources
• RPA for automated processing of claims achieving STP for low-risk claims
NelsonHall-Proprietary – Not for distribution without permission 18
Underwriting
• Prediction of success for deal conversions• Broker quotation analysis using
predictive analytics
• Prioritize underwriting
• RPA to auto-identify appropriate underwriter
• RPA to queue quotations for underwriters

Example of New Digital Process Model: eKYC
• Scan and download relevant documents from multiple sources• Access external web sites, registries & trusted sources
alongside internal information• Vendor investigation: cognitive
• NLP-based cognitive search• Extract contextualized information using
machine learning

Benefits
• ~40% reduction in KYC effort
• 60%-70% reduction in turnaround times for customer onboarding

Contact Center enablement
• Organizations principally looking to move queries to self-service & automate agent assistance
• Typically buying sub-set of functionality and implementing channel by channel
• Key components
• Web self-service: contextual response, predictive analytics
linked to knowledge-base, customer info, billing systems etc.
• Guiding & pivoting to appropriate channel
• Live agent assisted chat: co-browsing, multi-media sharing
• Automated chat: natural language processing
• 2-way SMS
• Video chat
• Social media

Conclusions – Impact on Operations
• RPA currently primarily supports fixing of the current business model rather than introduction of new business models and processes
• Makes continuous improvement realizable rather than a major hurdle for rule-based processes
• New digital process models now emerging combining RPA with AI technologies
• Key characteristic include:
• Digital inputs & outputs
• Minimize customer effort but maximize customer feedback
• Complement internal sources with external sources
• Directly impact business metrics and aim for STP/end-to-end digitalization
• Means re-imagining business processes
• RPA largely retains “As-Is” processes
• “To-Be” processes & outcomes fundamentally different for NDPMs
