We have been hearing for decades that robots are going to do all our work. But what seemed like fantasy is rapidly becoming a reality in the modern workplace. And automation is not just limited to the factory floor but is now coming to the back office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have all seen robotic arms assemble vehicles in an automated assembly line.But the next wave of robots is invisible and specialize in tasks like processing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can now automate tasks that were previously considering manual office work, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of these tasks take some level of thinking. Through the help of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, these tasks can be automated too. For example, a team of accountants works through their month-end checklist to close the financial period. Tasks might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these tasks can be automated using Robotic Process Automation (RPA). In its simplest form, think of RPA as an intelligent macro. It learns by watching you perform the work and identifying the decision points. While this can take work upfront to set up, the ROI is enormous when repetitive processes like month-end financial period close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly, one of the key innovators in bringing RPA to the business world is Microsoft with its Power Automate<\/a> product<\/strong>. Power Automate allows you to build your robotic workflows by recording actual human work.And the most impressive part is that it works on a non-Microsoft system. For example, do you take data from Salesforce and manually update your financial system? Power Automate can do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news is the automating your business process does not require an enormous investment in software. You can create a robot to run a business process using Power Automate for $40 per month. The best way to get started is to pick a repetitive business process and automate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WinWire can help you take your first steps toward automation.
