What is intelligent automation?

Intelligent Automation (IA) combines artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) with process automation (RPA) to automate complex end-to-end business processes and workflows.

IA augments and enhances RPA by adding intelligent capabilities that automate decision-making, exception handling, and other complex processes that are difficult to automate with traditional RPA technology.

RPA provides value but limits your transformation

Every technology has its pros and cons. RPA is no exception. While it is true that RPA bots save time when performing repetitive tasks, they also have technical limitations.

Unattended bots require restarts and handholding

Unattended RPA bots promise to work on their own, hence the name. However in practice, few processes remain static which means if anything changes—no matter how small- bots require manual restarting/re-programming.

UI is brittle and breaks bots

One of the biggest technical challenges in RPA has to do with user interfaces (UIs). UIs are constantly changing as new features get added and changes are made. These changes generate errors and other problems for robotic processes.

High development and maintenance costs

Automation solutions focused exclusively on RPA are complex to develop and implement, leading many companies into lengthy Software Development Life Cycles (SDLCs). One of the most challenging aspects is maintaining scripts used in bots since every change requires an experienced programmer.

Bots focus on task automation

RPA solutions are designed to automate repetitive tasks, not processes. Tasks are individual actions that make up a process. As a result, RPA falls short when it comes to automating complex business processes that typically involve multiple tasks and require intelligent decision making.

Intelligent Automation is Smarter and More Nimble

Automation has significantly improved throughout the Information Age. Technologies like business process management (BPM), robotic process automation, Low-code app development platforms (LCAP), conversational AI, and other cognitive technologies have gained wide acceptance. However, these technologies still operate in informational silos and lack orchestration for more complex tasks.

The need to orchestrate complex tasks across multiple teams, people, legacy systems, SaaS, and AI, gave rise to intelligent automation. Advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence paved the way to personify systems and provide solutions that your people understand.

Intelligent Automation Benefits

Intelligent Automation opens the door to enhanced business process management and provides many benefits across several industries.

Reduces Costs

IA automates processes more efficiently because it handles unstructured data, reduces errors, and constantly learns to optimize your operations.

Increases Efficiency

IA processes millions of documents quickly, spots and resolves issues within each, and makes improvement recommendations.

Improves Customer Experience

Advanced natural language understanding provides personalized customer interactions, leading to best-in-class customer services and satisfaction.

Empowers Employees

IA requires no special technical skills, making it the ideal application for end-users.

Enables Better Decision-Making

Machine learning gathers, organizes, tracks, analyzes, and stores valuable data, enabling business leaders to make better decisions.

Ensures Compliance

IA automates each business process and documents it for compliance, regulatory statutes, industry standards, and best practice requirements.

Development & Operations (DevOps)

DevOps-Automation-Case-Study-1024x576IA connects your existing DevOps automation tools and helps you orchestrate people, processes, and technology. IA enables project sponsors, management, development, security, compliance, and operations teams to remove project delays associated with manual steps.

Document Understanding

Intelligent automation scans documents, connects to data sources, and uncovers information to automate end-to-end processes involving people and applications to optimize business outcomes and augment human intelligence. The automation extracts attribute document attributes using proprietary machine learning models and NLP for data analysis.

Issue Resolution

IA can connect with your email servers, internal apps, data sources, ticketing systems, and AI to read attributes from incoming email messages using proprietary ML models and NLP. Automating this process across several business functions can provide intelligent responses to existing processes and automate the next best action based on identified attributes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Intelligent automation combines artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and process automation to create automated business processes and workflows. The automated workflows remove barriers by automatically replicating mundane tasks or providing information from disparate systems so your employees can make more informed business decisions.

Intelligent automation enables companies to process and manipulate large datasets to gain capabilities beyond normal human abilities. Enterprises use intelligent automation to perform document processing, automated customer and employee responses, software delivery, and executive reporting to support AI-led decision-making and business processes.

RPA typically focuses on automating repetitive tasks employees process as part of their usual jobs. Intelligent automation leverages artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and data to help make decisions and automate tasks that employees don’t usually execute in an application user interface.

Intelligent automation combines artificial intelligence (AI) and process automation to support data-based decision-making across multiple teams, systems, or business units. Intelligent automation monitors and predicts business outcomes recommends process improvements and automates repetitive tasks.
