Bots to the Rescue -- Enterprise System Onboarding
|
|
If you are having trouble convincing management to give Robotic Process Automation (RPA) a try and need a detailed plan of action you can adapt to your own company, this streamable webinar is for you.
We demonstrate a specific use case that automates enterprise system onboarding, a challenge and pain point that many companies now face in our new era of work from home (WFH). Giving your employees access to new enterprise systems en masse can take scarce manual resources to accomplish, and automation can go a long way to building efficiencies and cost benefits.
We start by giving you a model to calculate the ROI for this process and other processes. We also walk you through some examples of how other customers have justified these projects to give you maximum selling power in your next pitch to management.
We show you how to put RPA to work today with your IBM Power, CA 2E, and CA Plex applications with onboarding in mind. CM First automation engineer Roger Hammer uses advanced Automate RPA technology to quickly create an enterprise system onboarding process that can leverage and extend your company’s resources exponentially.
