Product Details

What is IBM Robotic Process Automation?

The IBM® Robotic Process Automation offering helps automate more business and IT processes at scale with the ease and speed of traditional RPA. Software robots, or bots, can act on AI insights to complete tasks with no lag time and enable the user to achieve digital transformation.

Typical RPA benefits include the ability to 1) reduce human error, 2) accelerate time to value, 3) increase throughput, and 4) reduce costs. IBM Robotic Process Automation enables workforce augmentation by performing repetitive tasks, acting on data extracted from unstructured documents, and conversing with intelligent chatbots using text and voice response.

In addition, IBM Robotic Process Automation helps clients apply intelligence to classify and understand content, prioritize tasks, make predictive decisions and apply AI to operational data. Core automation features enable users to manage work along with monitoring and reporting capabilities.

Finally, organizations can accelerate time to value by creating, testing and deploying new automation schemes in hours, instead of days or months.

We are currently using it to automate most of the user activities performed by the Tellers. There are so many manual input required by our backend staff at the banking halls to complete a simple transaction. As an organization, IBM Robotic Process Automation was introduced and currently running as a project, enrolling most of the common activities performed by the backend staff. That has saved time and helped increase the turnaround time in fulfilling customer request.
  • IBM Robotic Process Automation is able to complete programed activities well. With it, the team was able to automate account settlement process.
  • It does not allow for duplications. Since we implemented Airtime settlement on IBM Robotic Process Automation, duplicate airtime deductions on client account has been eliminated
Cons
  • Not that I can think of now
It is best to be used when you understand your process, and always try it out in a UAT environment to avoid breaking anything in the production environment. When it was first implemented for auto-reversal of customer failed transactions, it had to be rolled back because some steps were missed and that ended up reversing double fees.

Great AI automation tool.

We have automated many of our processes using this tool, as this is affordable and drives better results than other tools in the market(yeah, we tried many). We used this on our customer support chatbot, and it was able to solve many small queries, which decreased cost and wait time. We have also automated our logs monitoring, and RPA is also taking actions based on it, using AI, which is very helpful and keeps the system up and running.
  • Actions based on data using AI.
  • Ai chat bot.
  • Code environment for complex task.
Cons
  • More code environment.
  • Reporting required.
When used for workflow management or for tasks which require decisions based on data or AI can be trained, it works well. But it can use on scenarios that needs to consider so many factors as it gets to set it up and also gives unexpected results.

Automation system that generates labor fluency and reduces errors of human personnel, has great automation power.

Our experience with IBM Robotic Process Automation was favorable from the beginning since the ease of use and the user experience is impressive, and its implementation had no delays or inconveniences. We solve problems automatically, and with the help of bot programming, we reduce hours of manual work, reduce errors by human personnel and streamline our internal processes with great efficiency in the final results.
  • Excellent ease of use, easy for new users, with just a few steps you can start automating simple but valuable tasks to reduce human error.
  • Code debugging is very easy.
  • The increase in effectiveness in our daily processes is favorable, we like to be produced automatically.
  • The bots fully comply with what is required, and they have very good artificial intelligence.
Cons
  • It has almost no drawbacks or drawbacks, at first it seemed a bit expensive, but after seeing the amount of profit we have achieved we knew that it is a necessary software to increase the value of our manual processes.
I recommend it since we process a lot of information on a daily basis and this software can process it automatically, without making mistakes or inconveniences. IBM Robotic Process Automation has been very beneficial in reducing the daily working hours of human personnel, since the bots do them automatically and very quickly, the requirements to be able to program them are minimal, which generates more confidence to implement it.

The dream of every company is to have a tool that reduces expenses and manual labor time.

We are building and automating application approval systems to avoid hiring untrained staff for the job, we automatically triage applications with bots designed to triage emailed application information for hires from all departments but all from a central classification system. This is just one use of IBM Robotic Process Automation, we also interact with clients remotely without wasting a single minute with remote work bots, we have a bot for each task and department that requires it, sometimes there are more than 10 bots for each department as required, in my human resources department we are using more than 8 bots and it is necessary to create another one for financial classification purposes.
  • Bots for the classification of income request orders with advanced functions.
  • Automation of spreadsheet reading.
  • It is impressive to have the answers of new clients and their questions in order, this is achieved with this RPA.
  • Improves accessibility of information.
  • Native digital assistant.
Cons
  • In terms of use it is not simpler.
  • The implementation and configuration is not the fastest.
There are extensive tasks that must be 100% automated to optimize the company's resources and we feel that it is possible with IBM, it is difficult to achieve the objectives because it is a complex RPA, but after its complete configuration you can notice directly satisfactory results. for the entire company, it is possible to improve the hiring of personnel with the classification of income orders, it is also a good opportunity to classify mail, documents and even classify the most active and most productive clients that the company has.
