RPA - to go a long way!


Automation is not a new concept and most of the organizations worldwide are using some form of technology to automate their processes. It not only brings down the workforce to a great extent, but also helps in achieving higher accuracy with reduced turn-around-time. On the other hand, human resources get more time and better opportunities to focus on innovations and business strategies. As a result, end-users or customers get to enjoy improved services with more options to choose from, while businesses end up with higher profitability and productivity. 

Covid pandemic did have a very negative impact on businesses worldwide, however, it also opened doors for technologies that can make mundane tasks less dependent on manual work. Considering the ever growing preference for work-from-home, it has become more urgent for organizations to automate as many business processes as possible. Therefore, it is quintessential for businesses to take advantage of advanced automation processes.

RPF or robotic process automation as it is known, has brought about a kind of revolution when it comes to automating business tasks on a larger scale. It uses software bots to automate back-office processes, which are time consuming and require a lot of manual repetitive work, thus improving efficiencies with reduced errors. These bots are easily integrated with business rules and decisions. Compared to general automation, RPF has proven itself a better choice for businesses over a period of time for its capabilities to handle a very high volume at a very high speed.   

RPF is already being used extensively in most of the domains including supply chain, IT operations, customer service, digital marketing, and e-commerce. However, there are some crucial challenges associated with deploying RPF due to the lack of trained experts in this area, complicated automation technologies and their not-so-easy implementations. Nonetheless, organizations all over the world are finding RPF worth every penny and preparing to scale up its deployment for higher business agility. 

RPF has a long way to go with its capabilities to optimize workforce utilization, enhance customer experience, improve data security and reduce business costs, in turn driving higher productivity and  profitability. With more advanced software bots emerging in the future, RPF solutions could be used for business predictions, product recommendations/developments, and anomaly/fraud detection. 

It is quite imperative for businesses to continue to implement more such RPF solutions in most of the areas, as not doing so could cost a fortune!

Metaverse needs better technology, scalable infra, strong governance

Many minds have been intrigued by the idea of metaverse, and its effect is such that the social media giant like Facebook has been rebranded as Meta. Yet, there is a big question mark on the future of this technology. The enablers of metaverse such as augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality operating on computers, smartphones and other devices have failed to give the complete real-world like immersive experience to end users. There is a clear lack of standard virtual environment and technical specifications for implementing metaverse  –  a bottleneck in using technologies from different proprietors. Due to the business privacy and transparency concerns, interoperability of services from various providers has become a big challenge. Although, the efforts to standardize virtual reality, such as Universal Scene Description, glTF and OpenXR may help in a long run, but a lot more needs to be put in.  The technologies and devices, such as wireless he...
