Tired of wasting hours on repetitive, non-value-added tasks? Automating administrative processes is not a luxury, it’s a practical and strategic solution. Thanks to Robotic Process Automation (RPA), it’s now possible to save precious time, reduce human error and boost your teams’ productivity.
The strategic answer to repetitive tasks
No team should spend its days re-entering accounting data or sorting incoming e-mails. Yet many companies still do. The good news is that there is a solution: RPA. By integrating well thought-out automation solutions, companies can not only modernize their processes, but also increase the level of satisfaction among their employees, who will no longer feel they are “doing a robot’s job”.
Affordable modernization that pays for itself quickly
Thanks to RPA, companies can measurably increase productivity and generate significant savings from the very first year of use, cutting costs by at least 30%. According to a now-classic study conducted by Forrester in 2018, a robot can complete administrative tasks up to three times faster than a human. Typically, the benefits are visible within six to nine months. This relatively short timeframe explains companies’ growing interest in this tool.
Rigorous implementation for lasting results
Automate, yes, but not just any old way. To guarantee successful deployment, it is essential to appoint a project leader within the company who can motivate teams to participate in identifying energy-intensive tasks, then modifying usual processes. He or she will need to be prepared for real change management.
Even if the implementation of an RPA-type robot is not very different from any other software (analysis, modeling, programming, testing, validation, production release), the complexity for the internal RPA champion lies in sorting out the wheat from the chaff in identifying the tasks that are easiest to implement and, at the same time, give the best return on investment.
It also means resisting the sirens within the company who would like to carry out complex integrations of these automations with the company’s information systems. Of course, exchanging information with “old” systems would certainly be beneficial, but at what price in terms of increased complexity and RPA overheads? Remember, RPA is synonymous with ultra-fast ROI. Let’s keep that in mind.
A positive impact on employees and, of course, on quality
Far from replacing humans, automation enables them to refocus on more strategic missions, freeing them from repetitive tasks. Several companies that have adopted RPA have reported a positive effect on team commitment and morale. The icing on the cake: less human handling means fewer errors, and therefore an immediate and tangible increase in quality.
Continuous, measurable performance
Another major advantage of RPA is its permanent availability. Active 24/7, robots provide invaluable continuity of service, particularly in support functions or high-volume management. But to guarantee lasting profitability, it is essential to regularly measure the performance of these solutions. This makes it possible to assess the benefits generated by their implementation, optimize strategies and adjust tools as necessary.
How about choosing performance?
The automation of administrative processes is now a necessary tool for companies seeking to increase their productivity. By adopting a methodical approach and relying on an experienced partner like TechNuCom, you can reap concrete, rapid and lasting benefits.
