Robotic Process Automation: Turning Buzzwords Into Action
In the professional services industry, it is hard to go a day without hearing buzzwords like AI (Artificial Intelligence) and RPA (Robotics Process Automation). Our research shows that while most clients have RPA in their roadmap, few have actually managed to successfully implement solutions. Furthermore, an estimated 30 – 50% of initial implementations fail. This session will cover the key factors required for successful planning and implementation of RPA in legal departments and the common misconceptions and pitfalls that hold many organizations back. We’ll walk through examples of successful implementations of RPA, including how they were implemented and the significant benefits (including quantified ROI in the millions of USD) that they provide.
