With the right tools and data, almost any rules-based process can be automated using robotic process automation (RPA), allowing organizations to redirect valuable human resources to higher-value tasks. The key steps are ensuring data integrity and correctly designing, testing, and deploying the automated process. When done properly, organizations can achieve improved efficiency, speed, and accuracy. Each step is crucial for success.

BDO's Intelligent Process Automation Solutions engagements start with a thorough evaluation of your business needs and identifying processes suitable for automation. For example, financial functions like accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoice processing, and financial closure are high-value areas where automation can enhance speed and accuracy. Additionally, machine learning and generative AI are expanding automation opportunities, including natural-language querying, to areas beyond finance.

We collaborate with you to identify processes and functions where automation can boost performance and reduce business risk. BDO's analysis can help demonstrate the financial benefits of increased efficiency and accuracy.

After this diligence, we ensure the integrity, timeliness, and accessibility of the data used in these processes, then develop the bots to perform the tasks. Depending on the type of automation needed and the function being automated, BDO utilizes proven platforms such as Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Copilot, UiPath, and Azure OpenAI Services.
