need for humans to perform
routine rules-based back office
processes like account opening,
claims processing and credit
card payments, etc.,
Self-reliant robots autologin and
handle end-to-end processes in
SAP unattended, essentially
performing any task which the
human user would do manually.
RPA is all about automating repetitive activities to make them faster and less labor-intensive, while
producing higher quality data. Automating processes with a robot is common across all transactional business processes including finance transaction processing, personnel and customer related activities.
Robotic Process Automation – RPA
Robotic Process Automation
(RPA) & IoT
Robotic process automation (RPA) is the use of
software with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) capabilities to handle high-volume,
repeatable tasks that previously required humans to
perform. These tasks can be queries, calculations and
maintenance of records and transactions, etc.,

RPA for SAP / Oracle / AX / CRM / Portal Automations
| Oracle | AX| SAP Sales & Distribution (SD) | SAP MM | Supply Chain (SCM) | SAP HCM | SAP FICO |
RPA is machine and software automation that frees humans by mimicking humanactivity in manual, tedious, repetitive, rules-based transactions, processes andworkflows, initiating responses and communicating with digital systems.
✓ Multi-system access (SAP, Oracle, AX, CRM, Excel / Access, legacy systems, other 3rd Party systems..)
✓ Clearly defined rules-based processes, Limited exceptions and human intervention
✓ Structured sets of data Documentation and standardized transactions.
✓ Deep SAP integration, low-cost implementation and Quick Deployment [ Around 3 to 4 Weeks]
✓ Simple, Frequent, repetitive, fast automation for business users to any areas of SAP
✓ No Manual data input from human and no errors. [ Fully Automated front office / Back office Robo]
✓ Reduce operational costs, increase efficiency, improve productivity and accelerate performance.

Common Patterns for SAP / Oracle / AX Automation Use
5 Factors in Choosing Which Processes to Automate
Employee Involvement
“99% of organizations still spend considerable personnel time doing repetitive manual
tasks, with almost three quarters (74%) spending over a quarter of their time doing so.”
Complexity
Complexity of a process can be defined by the number of applications/systems, the frequency
of human intervention, or the number of steps required in order to execute the task.
VolumeOrganizations do not have a defined set of opening hours, meaning a high volume of orders,
requests, and complaints are received around the clock, regardless of weekends and holidays.
Standardization and Stability
RPA is best most suited for automating tasks that are highly definable and occur the same
way every time. These activities are be rules-based, consistent and data driven.
Difficulty of Outsourcing
Many business activities, especially in financial services, require a high level of regulatory
compliance. This kind of security is often difficult to achieve and maintain with offshoring
because companies have a lesser degree of oversight and direct control when processes are
managed by a BPO provider.
RPA – Front office Robo
The customer is an essential part to the success of everybusiness. While back office automation is important in order toalleviate strain and provide support to the front office, front officeautomation can completely transform how companies interact,communicate, and engage with their customers.
RPA in the front office can: "assist your agent, making them moreproductive and improving your customer experience with shortertransaction times, reducing manual errors and avoiding the highlyirritating repeat questions for the same information. It can alsoopen up new channels of communication on your existing systemssuch as responding to customer’s balance enquiries by text.”
➢ Enhanced communication➢ Significant error reduction➢ increase accuracy➢ Less navigate between multiple systems
Why Front Office Automation?
“Any sort of customer service or sales role
are often labelled front office work”
RPA – Back office Robo
It’s true that a lot of business processes perfect for RPA aretraditional back office tasks – HR, Sales, Service, Manufacturing,Logistics, SCM, Finance & accounting, moving data betweendatabases, Portals and 3rd Party Interfaces, etc,.
In today’s business environment, leading enterprises need up-to-date, innovative ways to optimize workflows in the back office.Moving data between multiple applications and systems, handlingcomplex data entry, and keeping records updated are processesthat cost a lot of time and money and are inevitably prone tohuman error. By automating these repetitive tasks and eliminatingredundancies, robotic process automation enables you to gainoperational efficiency and speed and delivers fast ROI.
➢ Extensive Automation➢ Significant error reduction➢ Operational Accuracy➢ Less navigate between multiple systems➢ Costs and Speed➢ Enterprise Scalable
Why Back Office Automation?
Robotic process automation uses softwarerobots that are trained and deployed to automaterepetitive, rules-driven tasks in the back office.For organizations, these routine back officeprocesses are costly, prone to error, andinefficient, so automation can contribute greatlyby improving operational performance andoptimizing resources.

WHAT TO AUTOMATE - PROCESS SELECTION
WHAT TO AUTOMATE - PROCESS SELECTION
• Process Selection for Automation
• Business impact
• Benefit
• Timing
• Transaction Selection by Robot
• By Type
• By Value
• FIFO, LIFO, Random
• Existing Process Maturity
• Garbage In, Garbage Out
MoSCoW Prioritization Technique
• Must have, Should have, Could have,
Won’t have this time
• It has to relate to time or deadline
• Enables flexing the requirements
• Enables on time delivery
• Helps to protect quality of what you
deliver
Time & Benefit = Critical Success Factor
for Automation
CRITICAL FIRST STEP - PROCESS DISCOVERY
A good business
requirements document
(BRD) and Process
Definition Document (PDD)
helps to execute automation
projects “run like factory”
with predictable outcomes
and on time…
DON’T IGNORE PROCESS EXCEPTIONS
Autopilot = Robotic Automation
Turbulence = Process Gaps
• Consider Your Audience - Actual user Or Business Owner
• DO NOT omit the Alternative Paths and Variations to a Process,
Exceptions, “Not just Happy Path”
• Designing the System instead of process or flow or business need
• Missing the concept or failure to understand the “factory model”, spec to
spec, BRD to Automation
• Inconsistency with real life process & data (Test environments)
• Missing Data Dictionary or Data Mapping
• Silo automation in an inter-dependent process environment
CONSIDER ENHANCING YOUR SOD POLICY
Who did it? The Robot User ID?
Your Robot or Your Human Staff?
Manage Robot IDs according to your compliance policy
Maintain Robot Logs & Audit Trail, etc.,
Segregation of Duties [SOD]
SECURITY

ROBOT PRODUCTIVITY
• Unlike human staff who work for 8 hours,
Robots work 24x7, non-stop
• Robots can do multi tasking
• Consider proper robot scheduling and task
assignments for every day.
• Maximize robot productivity for better ROI
and higher TCO
PROCESS HANDOFF
• An activity in a process may require
human intervention
• Plan Robot to Human and Human to
Robot handoff steps properly
• Make it user friendly with proper
hand off validations.

RPA for Finance Automation ( SAP \ Oracle \ AX FINANCE )Finance - Pre-calculated credit to a customer’s account
The Standard process performed by a Financial Person is as follows:
✓ The Financial Person runs a report in ERP to extract the payment record of a specific customer for the
last 3 / 6 months.
✓ The data from the report is copied into a spreadsheet to analyse the risk, and calculate a revised
credit rating.
✓ The credit limit is then applied to the customer’s account in the ERP System.
✓ The system will do the credit check & block the order after that.
We use Robots for complete Automation of this process.
The robot logged into the system of record, extract the
data, estimate the calculation of the revised credit limit,
and update the Credit results in the customer record
automatically in the ERP system without any ManualIntervention.
