Online Round Table ,  April 21, 2022 - 16:30 CET

 

The Role of Automation

in Government

 

Exclusive event for digital leaders

in the public sector in Belgium.

In recent years, robotic process automation (RPA) has become embedded in organisations focused on enhancing productivity and business goals. RPA is often the gateway into the convenience, speed and error reduction that end-to-end automation technologies can bring to an organisation.

With software robots handling rules-based repetitive tasks that are frequently ridden with human error and take a toll on employee satisfaction, your team can improve productivity, reduce errors, accelerate projects, reduce access to sensitive information, handle irregular workloads, and so much more.

Improved productivity
RPA allows employees to work on what humans excel at, delegating the mundane repetitive tasks to robots. Instead of spending time on copying and pasting information between business systems, employees can devote time to value-added tasks that involve analysis, judgement and creativity. With admin work split between humans and robots, organisations do more with the same number of people.

Errors reduced
Software robots have proven to reduce up to as much as 99% of the human errors in high volume data handling.

Heavy workloads handled better
Public administration organisations may regularly need to handle a higher number of applications to process during a particular time of year. Without automation, they have to onboard temporary hires or shift employees from other duties to deal with the increased workload. Robots can scale up and down instantly to handle any volume of work.

Join us at the digital roundtable on Thursday April 21, from 16:30 to 18:00, to get inspired by RPA use cases in the public sector and to exchange ideas with your peers. This event will be multi-lingual, as much as possible in English, yet feel free to contribute in Dutch or in French.
