Robotic Process Automation – The evolution of a technology
What are the Types of Robotic Automation?
Although Robotic Automation is a recently coined term, the
technology is an evolution from ‘screen scraping’. There’s an
emerging vendor landscape, each one of them providing a
different degree of sophistication and maturity, ranging from
‘rule-based robots’ to cognitive computing systems.
Robotic Process Automation software can be used to conduct repetitive mundane tasks,
make decisions and drive enterprise application systems in the same way as a human operator.
What is Robotic Process Automation?
 Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a set of
technologies that uses software as a ‘virtual FTE’ to
complete a business process using existing application
software (e.g. ERP and CRM applications) in the same way
that a person completes the process. This helps eliminate
or reduce human intervention in the execution of tasks
and decision making.
 Key functionality:
– Non-intrusive business system integration, primarily
through the user interface.
– Data aggregation that presents consolidated view from
different back-end systems.
– Business rule execution based on defined logic or self-
learning.
– Work item and exception queuing to be processed by
a robot or human operator.
– Activity monitoring that captures and analyses data on
an adviser’s desktop application usage. Structured,

The Market
RPA Technology Providers Cognitive Automation
KEY PLAYERS IN UK’s RPA MARKET
KEY TRENDS IN UK’s RPA MARKET
Deloiite estimates 24%-30% of the 3.3 mn jobs in UK to
be automated over next few decades
KEY DRIVERS
1
RPA will most likely drive automation in back office
functions, given the cost pressures and rapid deployment
of robotics
Deloitte reports automation as a strategic priority for
shared services leaders and is likely to be in vogue
over the next 10 years
2
3
Demand for automation amongst shared services and
GBS leaders across Europe and UK. 56%+ jobs in UK’s
finance functions are yet to be automated
Greater cost saving achieved through RPA, compared
to off-shoring
Growing focus on improving productivity through
alternative means amid low margins and rising labor cost
resulting from National Living Wage
Increasing adoption of RPA in pockets of UK’s local
councils to tackle financial challenges and welfare reforms

Case study
Over the last three years, we have worked with a client and NICE systems to implement
RPA. Thus far, services have been introduced to support the creation of dashboards for
handling phone calls and a range of back office process automation solutions
We have established a central cross departmental Automation Delivery Centre (ADC) as a
centre of excellence to deliver robotic solutions to all the Business Directorates across
the Dept.
Other automation capabilities in the RPA space are being explored to enable the
Department to have a view on the technologies that move beyond the front office (which
is where the technology has been largely focused) into the back office work.
Following the success of the ADC and the value gained from automation deliveries to date
there is an appetite to rapidly accelerate the ADC and the use of Robotics.

Use Case 1: Attended Robotic Automation
A Government Department has c10,000 advisers working in 15 call centres dealing with customer queries about claims and
complaints. The volume of calls is cyclical, needing to bring 2,000 interim resources to cover peak business periods. The
service provided was suffering from low productivity, below target average handling time, and poor customer satisfaction. The
Department wanted a cost-effective solution to address these issues ahead of the next business peak period.
Overview
Previous situation Result with Robotics solution
 Advisers had to access several back office system screens to collect
client information, status of claim and determine suggested next steps
 Average handling time for claim queries was 7 minutes, including 2-3
minutes spent accessing the customer data to answer the query
 Inexperienced and interim advisers took even longer to deal with calls
and in some cases provided wrong information to customers
 The Automation Delivery Centre (ADC) implemented a robotic automation
solution in 6 weeks that collected customer data from back office systems
and presented in an easy-to-use dashboard when customers called
 Average handling time for claim queries was reduced to 5 minutes, with
robots presenting customer data in 20 seconds, compared to 2-3 minutes
 Customer satisfaction improved due to greater information accuracy and
speed of response
 Determine claim overall status (completed,
being processed, rejected)
 Check reason for claim status

Use Case 2: Unattended Robotic Automation
An organisation receives about 300,000 registration annual applications for a specific process from customers each year
through various channels. Operational teams processed these applications which required intensive manual validation and
data entry into several back office systems. Following a business review, the organisation wanted to reduce costs, shorting
processing time and improve data quality. To achieve this, they sought a quick and cost effective solution. Reengineering of
the legacy back office system wasn’t an option due to cost and its non-strategic nature.
Overview
Previous situation Result with Robotics solution
 Registration submissions come through various channels: online,
structured email and digital mail
 55 case workers were dedicated to handle customer registration
applications
 In some cases, application submissions were processed incorrectly
leading to rework , including updates to downstream systems and
apologies to customers
 The Automation Delivery Centre implemented a fully automated
automation solution in four months, over three releases
 The organisation retained 10 FTEs to handle business exceptions, about
15% of registration applications
 Robots validated submitted applications three times faster than human
operators. End to end processing reduced to three days.
 Data quality entry improved, minimising rework

Six Step Automation Opportunity Process
The automation squad is made up of subject matter experts who conduct an on site
workshop to implement and stabilize the automation artifact in collaboration with local
business and technology experts.
The automation and engagement teams prepare run/production phase: training of staff,
streamlining configuration of user systems robotic workstations, development and
implementation of BCP plan etc.
Run phase starts – on site support team is at the end users’ disposal, implements
changes to the artifacts etc.
Business experts conduct a virtual end-to-end walk through of the process for the
program team members, challenges are identified, accuracy of approach definition and
benefit estimations is increased. Another go/no go assessment takes place.
Based on information from the opportunity Log, and the first analyses, a go/no go
assessment is taking place
Automation opportunities are identified, proposed and verified.1. Opportunity identification
2. First feasibility assessment
3. Virtual end-to-end walk
through
4. On site implementation,
stabilization, handover
5. On site support preparations
6. Start run/production phase

Automation Definitions
A small application based on one or more Automation technologies that runs on a robot/robotic
workstation. It allows the robot to act similar to a human being and perform work in accordance
with a process requirements. One process can encompass one or more artifacts.
Automation Artifact
A robot or robotic workstation is a physical or virtual PC that has Automation technology and
solution software components installed on it. The robot runs one or more automation artifacts
consecutively but not simultaneously.
Robot
An Automation solution is a set of artifacts, robots and other technical components often referred
to as "central components". Automation technologies (e.g. UiPath / Celaton InStream) can be a
part of a solution as modules.
