Laserfiche offers many features to help solve different types of automation challenges - and RPA is another upcoming feature set that will even further expand an organization's ability to build more streamlined automated processes.
So how exactly will RPA features fit in to help organizations design more complete processes?
While RPA is great for reducing manual tasks and boosting productivity, it should not be seen as an end-all be-all approach to automate all types of processes, or something that will replace existing technologies.
In general, RPA is effective at automating tasks that are performed directly across the screens of applications and is particularly applicable to processes that typically are:
- Consistent and routine
- High volume
- Prone to human error
- Limited in requiring a person to make a decision
- Manual data entry or “swivel chair” work
These could apply to common processes such as:
- Provisioning/deprovisioning user accounts
- Copying information from one system to another, especially for legacy systems that don't have an API available
- Onboarding and offboarding employees
- Scraping information from a third-party website
- Populating a form based on information from another system
