Jersey Tech Partners Thoughts on RPA:
- The Bottom-line: RPA satisfaction is a lot higher when the motivation and mentality is one of process improvement, not cost-elimination
- The main issue with RPA, in today’s market, is this misconception that customers will make significant headcount reductions in the short-term.
- With outsourcing, the cost savings are staged carefully over a 5-year engagement as work is moved to cheaper locations, better technology and processes are introduced, in addition to automation, and the processes are re-mapped over time to allow for work to get done, ultimately with fewer people.
- Simply plumbing in RPA and not having a broader plan to transform the work, pulling several other value levers, in addition to the patching of processes and digitization of manual work, will likely result in a mismatch between expectations and reality.
- RPA needs to form part of a broader strategy to automate and streamline work, where people, processes, analytics tools, SaaS platforms, outsourcing models and carefully developed governance procedures, are taken into account as part of the broader transformation plan.
- Customers must take a more transformative view that if they can free up 50% of an employee’s time, they need to focus on refocusing her/him on alternative activities. That is where the value is to be found.
