Robotic Process Automation vs Traditional Automation


Introduction:

The difference between traditional automation and Robotic Process Automation is more than a hairline .

With traditional automation, you could make a machine do any task, any step of the operational process.


RPA, on the other hand, is a form of automation that sticks to the front-end of your system and carries out tasks without having to move to the back-end for anything.

  • RPA bots work at the level of the UI and interact with systems just as a human.
  • RPA is system agnostic which means that they can work across application types
  • Robotic Process Automation enables businesses to take action quickly as they mimic the role of an agent
  • RPA is scalable and can be easily integrated with existing systems
  • RPA can be implemented promptly as opposed to traditional automation systems

Robotic Process Automation vs Traditional Automation

When it comes to deciding whether a traditional automation system or Robotic Process Automation would be the right choice for you, RPA, in most cases, is seen as a precursor to a full-fledged automation system.

RPA is when a more personalized experience is needed to automate a process that is complicated and requires access to a host of other applications. Scenario-based tasks are also preferably automated using RPA.

When asked if RPA could render traditional automation obsolete, Parikshit Kalra, SVP, Solutions and Capabilities at HGS, drew a comparison between a shovel and an excavator. When the task at hand can be handled with a shovel, you don’t need an excavator.

Traditional automation still has applications that are better off with the technology. Traditional automation systems are a huge benefit when, for instance, you want to move a large quantity of data between systems.

RPA only works at the speed of the UI, but traditional automation systems can outsmart an RPA system in this regard.

Important Things Not to Do In Your RPA Deployments

But RPA success isn’t a slam dunk. Ernst & Young has found that as many as 30% to 50% of initial RPA projects fail. The reason can be traced to a handful of factors.   Here are the four things you should not do if you want your RPA deployment to succeed. Treat RPA as an IT rather than Business Initiative Focus Exclusively on Cost-savings Target the Wrong Processes as Candidates for RPA Don’t Manage Expectations Treat RPA as an IT rather than Business Initiative IT is of course an essential partner in all business transformations and that includes RPA. But when IT is in charge, the focus is understandably on the technology. Does i...
