Robotic Process Automation is a Revolution in Business Process Improvement
Automation will change how we work!
With constant pressure to increase efficiencies and speed to insight, reduce costs, and improve process quality, many organizations are turning to robotic process automation (RPA) as a solution.
RPA is a software application (a.k.a. “Bot”) that works alongside your current systems to perform automated tasks based on human instructions. RPA eliminates tedious, repetitive tasks and frees up knowledge workers to spend time on higher value work like strategic planning.
Using RPA tools, AAFCPAs configures software to capture and interpret applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses, and communicating with other digital systems.
What can RPA do for AAFCPAs’ clients?
AAFCPAs introduces RPA solutions where appropriate to eliminate a myriad of mundane tasks clients perform on a routine basis. With automation, clients are delegating these tasks to bots and reducing the occurrence of human errors that regularly occur in data entry.
Here are a few time-consuming tasks RPA can handle:
- Data entry
- Paper forms processing/transfer to digital
- Reporting
- System/application testing
- Auditing high-dollar transactions
- Data aggregation for analytics/visualization initiatives
- Verifying and processing invoices
