  4. RPA supports operational processes Source: TechRadar™: Digitizing Operational Processes, Q2 2015 Forrester report

  5. RPA supports “attended” and “unattended” use cases • Attended RPA is defined as: “Automation that interacts in real time with humans who initiate and control robot tasks, generally associated with front-office, agent-led activities.” • Unattended RPA is defined as: “Automation that replaces a complete human function in a ‘lights-out’ manner, creating a virtual workforce, generally associated with back-office activities.”

  6. An alternative to “big IT spend” for typical BPM projects • It does not require invasive integration, changes to underlying systems, or change management. • A “low-touch” approach for process improvement for brittle legacy systems • RPA appearing as workflow queues on BPM process maps and “guardrails” for state transitions in case management

  7. Buying patterns Source: Digitization Leaders Share Robotic Process Automation Best Practices Forrester report

  8. Finance and accounting is a ripe area High FTE impact Medium FTE impact

  9. SAP and Oracle are fertile areas for RPA • ERP systems have modules to manage back-office activities and tasks including F&A applications. • RPA for F&A operations benefits are accuracy, elevated service levels, fraud control, compliance, audit trails, higher staff retention, rapid data extraction and aggregation, and stronger regulatory compliance validations. • Verizon cut manual entries annually by a quarter — to 10,500 from 14,000. It aims to cut another 1,400 manual entries by the end of this year for an overall reduction of 35%. • A tier 1 bank is forecasting elimination of 1,200 of 2,000 jobs in F&A closing operations in three years — only 50 decisions made by humans tasked with data entry.

  10. Some large-scale implementations: Telco • 30,000 customer service representatives handle more than 50 million sales and services calls from its customers annually. • 12,000 of its 30,000 sales and customer service representatives have RPA support. • 140 desktop software automations — also uses RPA to move data between databases without human intervention. Citrix environment. • Primarily dealt with data inefficiencies around Siebel. • 33% increase in NPS,* 20% increase in first-call resolution, $10 million annual savings in call-handling time. *Net Promoter and NPS are registered service marks, and Net Promoter Score is a service mark, of Bain & Company, Inc., Satmetrix Systems, Inc., and Fred Reichheld.

  11. RPA automates employee onboarding • Robots perform a series of checks to onboard new employees, such as capturing and updating employee information, providing access to applications, updating legal paperwork, and notifying their managers through email. • Fetches the automatically assigned user onboarding ticket — reads the ticket details and identifies it as “new user creation.” • Validates whether the requisite data for the new employee is present. Verifies details such as the user first name, last name, email ID, address, and joining date. • Allocates a licensed version of Office 365 to the new user. • HR manager has a view of the onboarding process through the control tower — availability, number of processes being run, processing time against SLAs, and other controls.

  12. KYC Deal configuration Closing and fulfillment Credit risk Data gathering Sales engagement Global bank RPA usage in the onboarding process Customer experience Operational experience • Inability to get a holistic view of operational and other data • Connecting with the institution via digital channels • Operational reporting/key performance indicators • Collecting the right information while maintaining customer experience Presenting the right information to clients at the right stage in the process • Multichannel customer service • Poor response and escalation mechanisms for issues Too many inconsistent internal user interfaces and key performance indicators • Re-keying or wasted time coordinating various systems of records, core systems, and packaged apps — each with its own record-keeping needs Account setup/ modifications KYC, PEP, MIFID, and FACTA reporting Risk scoring

  13. Agenda • Robotic process automation (RPA) defined and top use cases • RPA market forecast and relation to AI • RPA key characteristics and product landscape • Operating models for RPA and automation • Closing Remarks

  14. Despite strong growth, RPA requires more advanced analytics to sustain market growth • Today’s fragmented apps drive RPA — system modernization reduces RPA need. • RPA growth is too dependent on legacy system longevity. • On-demand communications will replace human-driven fulfillment. • Self-service and NLP interfaces will reduce background RPA tasks. • Cloud systems provide better data integration and reduce the need for RPA.

  20. RPA market spend depends on cognitive AI enhancement • RPA’s movement from obtuse to percipient will determine market growth. • AI can lift RPA to find new and less-used patterns, memorize those patterns, and support them to handle complex exceptions. • RPA will initially support a higher percentage of digital work in early years. • RPA will remain focused on tactical tasks but get smarter at them. • True AI solutions take on a higher percentage of human work after 2019. • RPA integration with AI will take one of two forms.

  22. Virtual assistant is a near-term use case 1. Customer gives up on chatbot experience. Advice and transaction handling Engagement capability 4. Active learning points prioritized. 2. Customer hits portal link for human assistance. AI/NLP knowledge base 5. Machine self-adjusted. System orchestration 6. Machine extends support capability. Robotics process automation 3. Human addresses problem — text captured and converted for machine ingestion. Routine production services
