Automation Anywhere EVENT - Document Automation Impact

Do you utilize Document Automation in your current processes? If yes, how has it impacted efficiency and productivity?

Document automation impacts our efficiency and productivity significantly. A part of our key processes is reviewing invoices. It helps us in terms of people who process invoices, allowing them to focus on what really matters, which is approving or denying the actual changes, as opposed to doing data extraction and data entry.

Document Automation has absolutely impacted our efficiency and productivity. We had one process specifically that drew us to this use case and then expanded it much further out, where we're essentially inputting invoices that don't go through our normal procurement system. It used to go through our AP team for manual input. It used to take a full person's time a year to do that. We're saving essentially a full FTE through Document Automation.
We utilize Document Automation in our current processes. That was one of our biggest draws to Automation Anywhere when we first invested. We looked at a bunch of different IDP tools initially before Document Automation. Automation Anywhere had the IQ Bot tool. That's what we first invested in, and then we were excited when they did the upgrade to Document Automation. The capabilities there are a lot easier to use out of the box. It's a lot easier to scale, and there are AI benefits to it. Document Automation has absolutely impacted our efficiency and productivity.

That was our first use case with it, and we have a couple of others in various other accounting operations and tax bases that save significant hours. We also have some hard dollar savings along with it. It has had a huge impact so far, and we see it being a huge impact going forward.

Document automation has indeed been beneficial in handling large volumes of documents in our organization, where we process product-related data sheets that range from 80 to 120 pages, efficiently extracting data that would take a human several hours to read manually.

I utilize document automation in my current processes. We introduced automation, and where we previously had to use many letters, we now use only documentation.

We have used document processing from the beginning. We have a few use cases running in production, processing thousands of documents. With the success rate of more than 80%, it's efficiently extracting data for us.

We are presenting a business case related to document automation in our current process. Document automation impacts both efficiency and productivity. Document automation impacts my company because the credit analysis requires reviewing every digital document from customers, and with this implementation, we aim to be faster instead of reviewing each document individually.

We have recently started to use document automation in our processes, particularly in our Korea factory, where our counterparts are migrating from their original OCR technology to utilize Automation Anywhere's solution. We are finding it to be a much better solution, as it is not very one-dimensional the previous one, allowing us to integrate it with some of our current RPAs.

Document automation has impacted efficiency and productivity massively, as we are processing approximately 8 to 10,000 invoices every month, with probably another 8 to 10,000 more to go, different suppliers and a different accounting structure, and it handles everything we throw at it.

Document automation has been phenomenal. There have been a lot of changes and updates to it, and it is serving a very good purpose right now with document classification and document automation coming into play.
Document automation has been phenomenal. There have been a lot of changes and updates to it, and it is serving a very good purpose right now with document classification and document automation coming into play. Using AI enabled framework, we're able to fetch the details from it and also give input to our downstream processes. Document automation is definitely a tool that will help us provide a better experience for our employees and our legal departments or any department that is dependent on documents that we're getting from outside parties, which are nonstandard, nonstructured. It helps us from an overall digitization of a documentation and its summarization of it.

Document automation often comes up with our clients, where the processes we're working in still transfer faxes and other traditional documents that must be uploaded, with data extracted and input into a process, whether that's faxes for scheduling appointments or things such as benefit determination, sometimes following up on authorizations for services. Document automation is a really important feature and component to solving these problems.

Document Automation is still growing and is not 100% mature, however, the basic functionality of RPA is amazing.
One of the major business cases we have is invoice payments, where we handle a good number of invoices using IQ Bots. Eventually, we will migrate to Document Automation once we transition to the cloud, which is starting next month, May 19th. Invoice payments are a great use case since we receive different types of invoices from various vendors. We use Document Automation to organize information, restructure it, and then grab the information to save it into different systems of records. This is probably, from my perspective, one of the most important cases.

In terms of processing large data sets of documents, Document Automation has introduced many new features compared to the predecessor versions of IQ Bot, which we have used in the past; the improvements have been significant, especially with the Generative AI features that help in finding and identifying fields.

We haven't deployed any document automation in our current processes. We've done extensive exploration and have paid contracts for a certain number of documents, but we haven't had a beneficial, deployable use case yet.

I used document automation about two years ago, however, it did not work as expected at that time, providing results around 70% to 80%. After that, we turned to third-party tools. Now we want to try document automation again.
