With an annual global budget deficit in the public sector at 5% of global GDP, improvements in efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation are necessary. RPA can do all of that and more, while accelerating positive change without accruing additional costs. Thanks to the technology’s low barrier to entry, it can be implemented within weeks and picked up by staff with minimal instruction.
Scalability and resource allocation can be particularly difficult in the public sector, as certain processes (such as general ledger reconciliation or batch invoice processing) are highly variable and dependent on circumstances.
RPA offers some of the most efficient resource utilization solutions available. A digital workforce is easy to scale as needed, always ready to improve an organization’s capacity for reporting, reconciliation, or any other task that requires data manipulation.
Many of the interactions between the public sector and individuals happen through forms and applications. Transferring data manually from a permit application to the agency’s systems is a time-consuming task that introduces an unnecessary risk of human error.
Automated form processing is a natural development from online form-filling and applications for civil or social services. An RPA digital workforce can collect data from emails, online forms, scanned documents, and other channels of communication.
Maintaining documentation on employees and keeping it current is a challenging task, especially as the same has to be done for applicants and contractors. The risk of losing accuracy is high with manual data manipulation, especially when many changes are temporary.
HR tasks in the public sector are characterised by a high potential for automation, as they are standardized and repetitive. Data management, payrolls, onboarding and offboarding are all processes that can be streamlined with RPA.
Eliminate human error, maintain regulatory compliance, and help employees focus on critical tasks.
Take advantage of RPA’s high cost efficiency and fast ROI, saving 25-80% on current operating costs.
Deploy a digital workforce that operates 24/7, 365 days a year, and doesn’t make mistakes.
“Robotics process automation could be the key to speeding up government agencies’ recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a solution to backlogs thanks to 24/7 processes running in the background. Reports indicate that public service employees spend only 20% of their time on strategic tasks that require analytical thinking. Automation and process optimization can free up hours for each staff member, allowing them to focus on where they could have the most impact. Crucially, RPA can track changes in the system and ensure 100% data accuracy if set up properly.”
