How RPA Supports your Sales Team - Part 1
RPA and software robots are traditionally associated with efficiency improvements, cost savings and quality increases. However, even more, robots can also be used to boost revenue and shorten sales cycles when they are employed to support sales teams.
How to Process Different Formats of Bank Statements with UiPath?
One task, that nearly any company in the world needs to do is to reconcile bank statements with internal information. For medium to large enterprises, this process of bank reconciliation is quite time-consuming, as statements need to be processed from various banks, and balances and invoices need to be checked against several internal general ledger accounts in SAP or similar ERPs.
How to set up your UiPath infrastructure to support attended automation?
Automation journeys in companies usually start with unattended bots that do some automations in the background running on servers. In some companies, those unattended bots are complemented with attended bots that work as personal assistant of an individual person. The latter work on the same PC as a user and are started by that user when needed via a robot user interface.
How to Collaborate with Robots within an UiPath Automated Process
Although robots are good at repeating sequential steps and following clearly defined business rules, and they can even leverage the power of AI to take more complex decisions that cannot be simplified as a set of rules, they cannot replace humans in 100% of the cases or in situations that require complex interrelations and insights. For this reason, the challenge arises to present the relevant information to a human decision maker and get a response in the most efficient way possible.
5 Valuable Updates from UiPath for Scaling Automation
"A robot for every person" is the vision that UiPath has for people and businesses alike. This would have a tremendous impact on the workplace, on digital transformation and it would create a next wave in productivity improvement as robots will pick up most of the repetitive work in companies. However, as with any vision, it needs a lot of hard-work and commitment to make it reality. With this in mind, I am closely following UiPath’s new releases and our common quest to help companies become fully automated. Here's my list of top five improvements to the platform, the problems each one solves and the impact they could have for automation.
Picture in Picture – The Game-changing Feature for Attended Automation with UiPath
I must admit that while doing consultancy work, unless it was absolutely necessary, I would generally avoid recommending attended robots for one simple reason: a running robot on your PC would mean that you cannot do any work during that time. This changed in May 2020, when UiPath released an experimental feature called PiP (Picture in Picture) which overcomes this very issue. With the 2020.10.2 release, UiPath made this feature production ready, but only recently, after having the chance to personally test and work with PiP, I'm sure that it is a game-changing feature for attended automation.
How does UiPath Document Understanding actually work?
Since a lot of my work in the past year has revolved around Intelligent Document Processing with the help of UiPath’s Document Understanding Framework, I would like to share some insights with you. In order to provide you a big picture, let’s start off with the basics: I want to shed some light into the DU pipeline that documents flow through from a scanned image to being integrated in an automated business process.
