Intelligent Automation – A synergized approach
Salient points
- Intelligent Automation takes a holistic view of the process architecture to define a critical path.
- It augments the strengths of the individual technologies to deliver a fail-proof outcome.
- It simplifies the automation scenarios and improves the cycle time to deployment.
Mainstream businesses are adopting the automation-first approach. The market disruptions in the last few years have induced the markets to step up the pace of automation and its adoption. However, siloed automation solutions that are not connected to each other reduce the process efficiency over a period of time. Intelligent Automation is more advanced than the erstwhile automation solutions. It takes a holistic view of the people, processes, technology, and the environment to synergize the strengths through an integrated approach. Intelligent Automation builds a synergy between RPA, APIs, AI/ML, Analytics, and other low code-no code technologies and brings forth a robust automation outcome.
How does RPA enable automation?
RPA or robotic process automation integrates siloed systems and automation solutions, which don’t have APIs, in a non-invasive manner. Essentially, a low code-no code automation platform, RPA simplifies the process that spans across different environments, such as web, Cloud, Citrix, and desktops. It is easy to use as it is a simple, non-invasive surface integration. It consists of drag and drops components that can be used to build a comprehensive automation logic at the business user level. IT engineers can use the integrated development environments (IDE) to stitch together these logic sequences to build complex automation solutions.
How do APIs support automation?
APIs connect different applications and allow them to securely exchange data through a set of protocols. It is an invasive process. It includes coding and software programming in the API connectors of all the applications under the automation integration plan.
RPA and API combined
While RPA is a non-invasive integrator, APIs are invasive. RPA is easy to leverage when the ecosystem has many touchpoints. APIs integrate monoliths though their usage is on the costlier side. Automation that synergizes the strengths of both RPA and API delivers a robust outcome and overcomes the fragilities of the individual technologies.
Intelligent Automation – Synergies at work
RPA is a surface integration. If the surface or user interface elements change, the automation process gets disrupted. System Integrators overcome such scenarios by integrating the script generated during surface automation with the application backend coding. API connectors simplify this process. API connectors are built for software application capabilities off-the-shelf available in the market and are standard. Here the system integrators integrate the earlier mentioned RPA scripts with these specific API connectors. This Intelligent Automation based integration is robust and faster as compared to the application integrations that use only APIs or RPA.
Simply put
Intelligent Automation synergizes the benefits of RPA, APIs, and other technologies involved to deliver a robust form of the required automation solution. The synergies amplify the overall integration outcome. It further improves the automation cycle time.
RPA, virtual agents BPM are the key pillars of intelligent automation and are driving businesses towards success.
These technologies help organizations in enhancing productivity and competence in many ways.
Robots these days are replacing humans from the production department and manual tasks.
All the operations in the Business are automated and can be done by robots to reduce human involvement.
All the errors and orders will be checked and corrected by robots within less time.
RPA also helps employees to develop creative tasks for these competitive market trends, thus increases the operational excellence of any organization.
What is robotic process automation?The RPA systems Charter Global creates enables a business to automate a repeatable process that typically requires a human component.
We often recommend RPAs to businesses that are in need of a solution that doesn’t make mistakes, is able to run 24/7, and there is no downtime for the task at hand.How RPA software worksRPA robots are capable of mimicking many–if not all–human user actions.
They log into applications, move files and folders, copy and paste data, fill in forms, extract structured and semi-structured data from documents, scrape browsers, and more.What are the business benefits of RPA?Robots are here to stay.
The faster you harvest their potential, the faster you create a competitive edge for your business.
It will allow for superior scalability and flexibility within the enterprise, doubled by the fast, tailored response to specific needs.
Software robots are easy to train and they integrate seamlessly into any system.
Robotic Process Automation or RPA is one of the digital transformation technologies that help businesses automate repetitive routine tasks.
