Importance of digital transformation and how intelligent automation can contribute

By Vishal Manchanda Traditional software development builds code to capture best practices and embodies them into the back office of enterprise applications. Robotic process automation captures the keystrokes of the workforce on the front end of applications, as they work and deliver, and in that sense automates them into software robots or bots. This process of automation reduces the barrier to automate by less rigorously involving software coding and application programming interfaces and has delivered its share of rapid success over time. As building a software robot using RPA tools is relatively quick, adoption of RPA and delivering the first set of robots for any organization has been relatively easy. RPA as a technology is robust enough to handle complex process automations and scale up quickly, but it is when we need to solve complex problems that requires mimicking human brain is where we hit a roadblock with RPA. Arrival of intelligent automation Till now, RPA has unleashed a digital workforce of software robots that has worked and delivered on the periphery of much wider enterprise initiatives such as digital transformation. But in order to move forward, RPA will now need much deeper and better integration with subjects such as
