Tiivistelmä
The thesis was assigned by the accounting and finance department of the Alteams Oy located in Jyväskylä. The assignment was to perform a feasibility study aiming to research and examine the strengths and weaknesses of deploying Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate potential manual processes within the organization in practice.
Two manual business processes with high potentials were identified and then selected as automation targets. The UiPath Platform including UiPath Studio and UiPath Robot were used for the RPA implementation. The UiPath Studio was used to develop the automated processes and UiPath Robot was used to run the processes.
Different desktop and web-based applications were included in the target processes. The first automated process included: IFS, ReadSoft and Notepad and the second automated process included MS Excel and web application tietopalvelu.ytj.fi.
The result was a fully functional RPA implementation. Two attended RPA robots were developed as POCs and are currently running in pilot. As expected the RPA implementation did not require any changes in the current infrastructure and IT setup of the organization. The RPA implementation was quite fast and covers all the requirements of the accounting department.
Future phases and improvements are deploying an RPA service provider (vendor) in order to set up the RPA production environment and develop unattended production level robots to automate more business processes.
