1. Why RPA helps increase competitive advantage?
RPA transforms business processes, streamlines operations and brings about standardization across the enterprise. As RPA gains more prominence, you can automate core business processes, better manage your workforce, eliminate human errors, and achieve greater operational efficiency. RPA is an end-to-end solution that's transforming every industry, and compelling business and IT leaders to reevaluate strategies. RPA as a solution helps organizations leverage technology to improve business processes, retain customers, enhance decision making and realize the benefits of analytics.

2. The downside behind benefits of RPA
RPA is not for every business: As with any automation
technology, RPA is capable of eliminating jobs, which presents CIOs with talent
management challenges. Even when CIOs navigate the conundrum of human capital,
the implementation of RPA is no more often.
Costly but ineffective: Installing thousands
of programs took more time and was more complicated and expensive than most
organizations had hoped it would be.
Do not guarantee economic efficiency: Economic performance of RPA implementation cannot be guaranteed. Although it is possible to automate 30% of tasks for most occupations, it does not neatly translate into a 30% reduction in costs.
3. How to minimize bad risks
Every activity has
unforeseen risks. Especially when risks occur, they will bring tremendous
damage to the business. Therefore, it is essential to identify and anticipate
risks for prevention and mitigation measures. RPA is no exception.

Minimizing the risks in RPA:
+ Good control of data security:
The RPA records all
operations on the software so that any situations can be detected in the event
of an unintended error or an operation outside the program. Therefore,
businesses need to check when detecting use cases of RPA for improper purposes
by users are not authorized.
In particular, in the
case of using RPA for work with personal information, it is necessary to
periodically check the access logs or the status of RPA to detect fraud. If the
enterprise can set up user decentralization or set up detailed workflow, it can
prevent cases of manipulating errors or intentional fraud of users.
+ Make wise decisions:
Not all RPA activities
benefit and create a competitive advantage for all businesses. So before
deciding to implement RPA, businesses must weigh the benefits and risks, and
research the dangers of technology.
In addition, businesses
must carefully analyze to determine which processes need to be automated in the
most efficient manner but must necessarily apply to all activities to avoid
waste and inefficiency.
+ Cooperate with experienced and reputable suppliers:
Finding a long-time
supplier in RPA field is very necessary because using RPA requires buying
license and periodic maintenance, so enterprises using RPA closely stick with
suppliers. Supplier with long experience, ability to provide the best products
and the most perfect technical support services ... is the smartest choice.
+ Technical training for employees:
The use and operation
of RPA require certain professional knowledge and skills. Therefore, businesses
must train and teach its employees with the knowledge necessary to operate RPA.
In addition, businesses also need to recruit and find more employees who are
well knowledgeable about the RPA being used.
