In the talk, we bring you our learnings on how to navigate RPA and scale it to Intelligent Automation successfully to bring real value to your organization.

As you all know, RPA has become a catalyst for a bigger digital transformation. While RPA talks about automating a repeatable process, a lot more can be done by combining RPA with AI, Cognitive, or other evolving technologies. Therefore, we need to build intelligence around RPA to solve end-to-end business problems around Natural Language Processing, ChatBots, OCR, AI/ML, among others.

At Lowe’s, we have been using a known industry application and delivered a lot of usecases utilizing its platform. However, we have also been working on our own Internal Intelligent Automation Platform, which can complement this application. Over the years, we successfully built capabilities around OCR, Internal ChatBot, and a reporting engine using Elastic, helping us expand our scope for automation and preparing us for the future once we exhaust our pipeline of simple, repeatable processes.
