Introducing an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) robot can offer significant benefits to organizations looking for ways to optimize their processes. In addition to the direct benefits, such as cost savings and efficiency, there are many indirect benefits – or ‘bycatches’ – that are often overlooked. If leveraged well, these indirect benefits can add an extra dimension to the value of RPA implementations.
Every action performed by an RPA robot can be logged and recorded. This provides a wealth of information about how processes actually operate. These logs can be analyzed to identify bottlenecks, measure process efficiency, or look for ways to further improve processes.
Using the information from the logs, an organization can set up KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) tailored specifically to their processes. This allows for setting goals and measuring progress, enabling continuous improvement.
For organizations in regulated industries or subject to strict compliance requirements, the logs generated by RPA robots can serve as immutable evidence of what transpired. This is especially valuable for auditors. They can use the logs to verify that processes were executed correctly and consistently. The detailed nature of these logs can significantly simplify and expedite audits.
The logs can also be used to train employees. By understanding how an RPA robot performs a task, managers can gain insights on how to best guide their employees. Moreover, any errors or deviations can quickly be noticed and corrected.
By monitoring the logs, organizations can detect potential problems early on before they escalate. A sudden change in the frequency or nature of certain log entries can indicate an underlying issue that requires attention.
Implementing RPA is more than just automation. The wealth of data it generates offers organizations an opportunity to gain deeper insights into their processes, continuously improve performance, ensure compliance, and adopt a proactive approach in managing their operations. For auditors and compliance professionals, this offers a new and efficient way to perform their duties and add value to the organization.
