RPA Bots—Quicker Implementation of RPA in Present Times

The implementation of RPA has seen a new surge in 2020 with the dire need to speed up tasks of all kinds, especially due to unavailability of human resources. As we have it now, the better RPA is getting at its job, the more the advances in this technology are trying to make it faster. And that brings us to reusable RPA plugins.

Cognitive RPA has been making RPA per se substantially better every step of the way. These plugins can be added to an existing RPA setup, or to a new one for that matter in order to manage certain repetitive tasks like managing emails, spreadsheets, forms, etc. and even translating for that matter. This results in some serious time and effort saving which further translates into a short turnaround time and low error rate.

Don't worry if you haven't heard about them yet. Odds are that you may know these by a different name or names like bot, workflow, component, bot, solution, dashboard, connector, asset, etc. These are all the same tools.

How do Reusable Plugins Help in Quicker Implementation of RPA?

As the very term suggests, reusability is always a good thing when it comes to any technological solution. When you have at your disposal a set of operations that can be tuned to work for multiple processes, this very reusability is going to save your business time and cost.

Talking on the technical development aspect of the technology, if you have already adopted RPA tools of any sort, you know that its development is one part that takes much more time than implementation does. Also, saving time at the developmental phase directly result in reduced time of deployment as well.

What Are the Kinds of Reusable Plugins Available on the Market?

We categorise them into 3 main classes:

Process Bots/Solutions:

When the process software is pre-programmed, you can simply deploy it, rather than asking your enterprise RPA vendor to custom develop it for you. These plugins are used mostly for umbrella processes that exist in almost every industry, for example, invoiced and payments.

Integrators/Connectors/Application Bots:

Odds are that most robotic process automation companies in India will offer you an array of connectors/integrators depending on different software. But that is something that, again, takes time to develop. These application bots help your business to choose what you need for easy deployment even if it is your RPA partner that supplies it.

Cognitive RPA/Machine Learning Solutions:

When simpler umbrella processes have diversified aspects that may be chosen by different businesses. Even invoices could be received in different formats and payment made through different methods even if the umbrella process is the same. Such processes need to enable cognitive functions which are relatively difficult to implement. These bots make it simpler.

If you are looking at stepping up the implementation of RPA within your business process management setup, these bots could make it way quicker than you'd imagine, also at the same time saving you developmental costs and time.
