Software robotics in brief

Software robotics is here to stay and will radically change the way you work with process improvement. The question is when and how you want to reap the benefits. Software robotics can be seen as a virtual workforce which is established and managed by your business units. The benefits potential is dramatic cost reductions, higher service levels and improved data quality.

Software robotics is basically about training robotics software to carry out labour-intensive, rule-based and repetitive tasks. Tasks that are often too extensive to be carried out manually but at the same time too complex to effectively integrate in existing IT systems. The solution is to use software that imitates the way that humans perform the tasks, utilising the existing user interface layers.

In other words, the software runs on top of the existing IT systems and does not require any coding or IT integration.

Why software robotics

Software robotics…

• Is a virtual workforce controlled by operations and support teams
• Emulates human activity via user interfaces using existing IT landscape
• Sits on top of existing infrastructure, governed and controlled by IT
• Represents a powerful combination with current staff
• Is optimal for repetitive, deterministic and high-volume tasks
• Eliminates manual errors

Our experience

• Banking: Operations processing, compliance monitoring and reporting
• Insurance: Claims handling and policy administration
• Energy: Administration of new installations, billing and collections
• Professional services: Data migration and financial consolidation 
• Telco: Fulfilment processing, activation and customer billing processing
• Municipalities: Social services, finance and administration processes

How to carry out a software robotics project

Implement delivers software robotics projects using a well-proven delivery model that enables the client to validate the business case and automate the first processes in a few weeks. A joint project team delivers from day one using a simple agile approach, and the benefits are accelerated by ongoing training of your staff.

Our project approach ensures successful software robotics projects

We work with our clients over a 5-week period – delivering hands-on process automation, clarity on business case and ensuring that the client’s staff are trained in the robotics software used.

How to get started

Only a few basic prerequisites have to be in place in order to get started, and Implement will ensure momentum from day one through a well-proven delivery model and a set of predefined templates.

Getting started with software robotics

To implement a software robotics pilot in 5 weeks requires for the delivery model to be very effective and simple. Implement’s software robotics delivery model states 8 basic prerequisites in order to get started.

Too good to be true?

No change initiative is without risk, and there are examples of software robotics projects where the expected benefits were not realised. However, through our extensive experience with software robotics projects, we will be able to help you identify and mitigate these risks. We look forward to talking to you about what we can do for you.

Why Implement?

Implement is committed to deliver change with impact, and with a strong software robotics implementation track record and deep knowledge of the solution providers, Implement will ensure your benefits realisation.
