Mastering efficiency is critical for businesses today. Most of us feel like we need to beg, borrow and steal any spare minutes we can to combat never-ending to-do lists and transformational goals. Refining our processes is one of the best ways to make ourselves and our organizations more efficient and our operations more cost-effective. But traditional approaches to process improvement are often time-consuming and costly. In this episode of Bots & Beyond, we explore how robotic process automation (RPA) can be used to unlock new levels of business efficiency and productivity, especially when integrated with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
