Automating tasks to removing manual steps from a process can be hugely beneficial, providing a variety of benefits such as:
Time: reducing overall time taken can allow you to hit more aggressive working day timetable ambitions or provide faster, more real-time information to senior management
Resource: less time spent on manual tasks means freeing up resource for more value-add work, and could lead to overall cost savings
Control and Reliability: reducing manual intervention reduces opportunity for errors. In particular, a good set of automated error checks can help you to have confidence in the results you are reviewing and reduce management overhead querying results
Auditability: Good automated processes should also provide clear audit trails, facilitating conversations with, and sign-off from, auditors in addition to internal comfort.
We have many years of experience in process automation and we're confident that your processes are in safe hands.
We have no vested interest in any particular software or platform, so we are free to independently choose what works best for you. Examples of the sort of considerations we would taken into account are:
Whether a tool needs to be open or can be black box
Speed versus maintenance of system (the most efficient coding options are sometimes not the most user-friendly for maintenance)
Integration capabilities, and whether it is fitting into a desktop or enterprise end-to-end process
Distributed processing set-up and platform on which it would be run
Your existing modelling systems/platforms and in-house modelling and IT expertise
