  Q & Arobotic process automation? I think London School of Economics doing a proper question and answer session on the topic of RPA emphasizes the speed and importance of RPA in market today. Also it establishes that RPA is moving at a dramatically high pace and its not the future. It is the now. The following is an Q & A robotic process automation. “For several months the London School of Economics (LSE) professor of Work Technology and Globalization Leslie Willcocks and his colleague María Lacity, University of Missouri curators’ professor and visiting professor at the LSE, ago have been working hard on a series of studies of cases that examine how robotics process automation (RPA) has been deployed in all industries (find the first two studies published here). Recently a Q & a was conducted with professor Willcocks to gain a greater understanding its growing interest in the field and the results of their research.

  BP: There area lot of changes in the definitions of robots and as a result, some confusion in the market about robotics process automation. How do you define yourself? LW: For some, the term “process automation robotics” can evoke the image of bright, human-like robots that move around the office. In fact, the EPR really only software that can be done to carry out the type of administrative tasks that would otherwise require human manipulation to get by. The quality that makes robotics is the use of a machine to replace a human worker and handle discrete disparate tasks. A “robot” is equal to a software license and usually this robot can perform structured tasks equivalent to two to five people.

  BP: Many mayargue that this is only the automation of business processes. Do you agree? LW: No, RPA application differs from the classic process automation business in two important areas. First, the developer hoping to automate a task does not need any programming skills. For example, people with commercial processes and experience in the subject, but no programming experience can, with only a few weeks of training, operations begin with robots processes EPR software enabled for automation. Second, RPA not disturb the underlying computer systems. Robots access to other computer systems in the same way humans do through the user interface a login ID and password and no underlying logic systems programming. It is truly “light”.

  • BP: WhyRPA emerging as a viable solution today? • LW: If you were to look into the operations of any large organization today would quickly the little time that their knowledge workers are actually spent on tasks of higher-order thinking. Many companies have realized this and have tried to solve it by one of two things: automate or inform yourself Shoshana Zuboff as noted. Many have tended towards the former – transfer functions of the hands of workers to machines, rather than providing people with higher capacities and make them work in symbiosis with technology.

  As a result,workers now spend substantial time compared to what John Gall systemantics calls – the peculiarities and defects that are so endemic to systems as their strengths. For example, it is a problem systemantic the typical automated trading system (for example, Enterprise Resource Planning, CRM, or e-commerce) is unable to complete a tip end to the whole process. For technology to deliver value, knowledge workers must carry out menial tasks such as extracting and moving large amounts of data from one system to another, and they want to be released from such routine and highly structured tedious tasks to focus the most interesting work. Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is giving them the opportunity. ”
