Why do you need Bots? This is a great question, and one which doesn’t get asked as often as it used to. Now more than ever, companies are discovering the benefits of robotic process automation. But, if and when I am asked, here’s the answer that I’d give…

The real reason

There’s a plethora of answers in response to the real reason you need automation and AI. Let me list off a few:

  • Bots can be developed and deployed with ease and speed.
  • It’s easy to make changes towards your needs or requirements.
  • Bots are robust, scalable and future-proof for the industry.
  • They are of a non-invasive nature, which means an extremely quick set-up and low ongoing cost.
  • Bots operate as an entire work automation and orchestration platform. It can seamlessly incorporate AI models and modelling, Chat, process mapping and mining, continuous testing and more.
  • Plus, Bots can facilitate end-to-end and human-in-the-loop processing.
  • Most of all, Bots can do tasks and activities quicker and more accurately and moreover, at a lower cost for your business.

Yet, whilst these are solid reasons for using Bots, it’s not all from a technical point of view, nor one of operational metrics and boasts. Let’s take a look at the real answer…

The combination of people, Bots & AI

Choosing Bots is about deciding to build a digital workforce to perform work using the systems you already have. Like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly and hatching from a cocoon, Bots give the chance for your pre-existing systems to flourish. They will give you greater flexibility and choice in how you work in future.

In addition, deciding to implement Bots isn’t truly about choosing a technology or tool. It isn’t about comparing Bots with other or traditional approaches to programming and development for the IT department either…although this can be done too.

It means less hands on

Bots are not truly aimed at the IT folks in your organisation. Oh no. Giving your team Bots instead of a unique fix or solution is the work equivalent of giving someone a fishing rod and teaching them how to fish, versus just giving them a fish. Bots were created to give non-technical business users the means to redefine how they work. To fend for themselves. To develop, deploy and manage their own destiny in delivering their processes and performing their work more effectively. This in turn frees up the IT department to focus on core business systems and strategy and add more value there. Finally not having to constantly work through a back-log of requests to fix, optimise and enhance. It means the business teams don’t get frustrated with manual work and work-arounds, and it puts them in control of solving their own issues.

Whilst Bots save the IT team time, they also save time directly for the business people, the accountants and bookkeepers. They can use the time normally spent working on the manual tasks, and can move their focus to the bigger tasks. Such as working directly with their clients. People don’t care for what goes on behind the scenes, they’re more interested to see you and be told the good stuff.

Unequivocally, we can see that Bots are again and again a positive transformation for companies that use the tech. They aren’t unreliable, nor are they too expensive.
