Robotic process automation

Robotic process automation consulting for process optimisation

Automate your business processes quickly, easily and cost-effectively with robotic process automation (RPA). Focus on your core business and leave monotonous or repetitive work to your new digital assistant, freeing up time for your customers and value-adding activities.

What is robotic process automation and what can it do?

Robotic process automation refers to software that performs repetitive tasks across functions and applications. The robot imitates human actions on the computer; independently launching programs, for instance, or processing rule-based tasks. The actions are performed on a local computer (attended bots), a server (unattended bots) or as a combination of both. RPA automates processes and therefore represents a key pillar of digitisation and the starting point for cognitive automation (decision making) and artificial intelligence (independent problem solving).

What tasks does robotic process automation perform?

Any repetitive and monotonous tasks that can be handled rule based. For example

  • Collecting data from the Internet or intranet
  • Reading and comparing data from documents
  • Copying, pasting and moving data
  • Form filling
  • Performing calculations
  • Creating reports or
  • Writing standard e-mails

This is just a small selection of the tasks that can be automated. Have you thought about how much time you would save by outsourcing repetitive work?

Your benefits

Productivity: shorter cycle times, higher throughput, easy scalability

Compliance: all processes are reproduced consistently, without errors or deviations

Fixed price or time and material basis: you define the service level, we operate your RPA

When is it the right solution?

If manual work is slowing down your processes, your current solution is not very cost or time efficient, and your employees have too little time for value-adding tasks.

We have been developing robotic process automation solutions since 2015 and have launched more than 500 robots, including aaS. RPA has helped our customers save more than 85% on infrastructure, maintenance and licensing costs (or 200,000 hours of manual work, equivalent to CHF 3.6 million). Three examples:

  • GUI-oriented robotic desktop automation (RDA) for manual desktop-based work.
  • An integrated backend solution for job scheduling and workload automation.
  • An integrated, modular backend solution, programmed using knowledge items and continuously self-optimised through machine learning.

What’s in it for you:

  • One-stop shop: everything from a single source
  • Easily automate repetitive tasks
  • Increase productivity and reduce costs

Why Swisscom?

  • 24/7 operation: SLA with short response times for business-critical processes
  • Security: FINMA-compliant solution that meets all security requirements
  • One-stop shop from proof of concept through to rollout and operation
