What is Intelligent Automation?
Today’s connected customers expect accurate, instant responses on their preferred channel, 24/7. And they increasingly prefer natural, unstructured communication types like email, messaging or social media. As a result, companies are being forced to upgrade their customer experience management. They need systems that can cope with huge volumes of physical and digital communication, and can process customer queries quickly and accurately.
Intelligent automation (IA) refers to a mix of technologies that allow companies to automate complex tasks at scale. It typically involves a combination of robotic process automation (RPA) – where software robots mimic repetitive tasks such as entering data from one spreadsheet to another – and artificial intelligence (AI). The addition of advanced cognitive technologies, like visual recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and semantic understanding, enables IA to comprehend document content e.g. a customer email. Companies are taking a strategic approach to IA and using it as an engine to power their business processes in a number of areas.

Conventional communications channels are still going strong. However, customers expect to communicate with businesses through a variety of digital channels. Intelligent Automation (IA) can assist companies to overcome these challenges and provide the same seamless experience across all their physical and digital communication channels.

Businesses running large omni-channel mailrooms deal with the pressures of processing large volumes each day. Quantities can be sporadic, adding to the complexity of managing unstructured information. Intelligent Automation can be used to replace manual information handling in the mailroom.

Companies shoulder an immense workload when it comes to customer claims. Due to the complexity and volumes, employees can become bottlenecks along the process. By leveraging automation, claims are processed almost instantly and companies can enable faster refunds and create a better customer experience.

Many companies still rely heavily on legacy software applications for data processing. Re-platforming can be very expensive and time-consuming, luckily this is where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can help. We use RPA to extract information from one system and move it to another.
