Robotics is an excellent tool for the tactical and operational level Non-IT IT Level Objectives Project types Approaches Change the Bank Corporate/ BU strategy Strategic Moonshots Market disruptive initiatives Customer experience Future revenue Market disruption Market disruptive initiatives (moonshots) Strategic business projects Co-creation Tactical End-to-end process transformations Customer journeys End-to-end optimization of customer experience End-to-end process design Agile Iterative Waterfall Co- development & traditional Run the Bank BPO/PSO change agenda Service Owners Operational Continuous Improvement Quality Customer experience Cycle time Efficiency Robotics & BMP IT Tasks Lean in departments/frontline Daily continuous improvement (rootcause analysis) Continuous improvement 6
What is Robotic Process Automation Robotic software can rapidly model and deploy automation across different digital landscapes Automate current tasks as if a real person were doing them across applications and system Individual delivery teams or process excellence resources can do it without extensive IT training or help 7
Tangible Benefits increase in ability of employees 45% to focus on customers reduction of average 40% process execution time HUMAN errors eliminated BYPASS system integration challenges operational 24/7 & up-time months payback 3 in deployment 8
A good RPA candidate RPA Robot Simulation Two robots running at the same time Process Description 1 Remittings from 3rd party; Danske Bank The process at hand registers payments from customers who have paid part/all of their debt The process includes: book keeping, updating limitation date and restancekode, editing risk profile, handling follow-up dates Benefits Pressure taken from peak time due to Time savings (90 sec vs 38 sec per case) Reduced expenses (no overtime) High quality output High volume High process maturity Digital trigger Rule-based 42000 cases per year Process is established, functioning and stable Running every Tuesday, when new data is received from 3rd party All process steps are rule-based (If, then ). Even for exceptions rules can be created 1. For an overview of the process flow please see Appendix 9
