Intelligent Automation, Robotic Process Automation and it’s impact
In my last blog I touched upon Intelligent Automation broadly covering Machine Learning, Autonomics, Machine / Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. I will focus on Autonomics and it’s impact on business and IT. Autonomics are intelligent systems that apply self-adapting policies to “learn” from experience and respond to new conditions, with the potential to perform more and more complex tasks. Autonomics are entering the mainstream in back-office work performing high volumes and routine tasks. It is predicted that it will completely transform the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. However, the current systems are not “autonomics” in the truest sense but are evolving and will reach that stage in the near future. Traditionally robots revolutionized the manufacturing industry largely in the context of assembly lines. Now Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is impacting the back office and process related work in the same way. Whereas in manuf...
