\u201cThe last decade was about replacing labor with cheaper labor. The coming decade will be about replacing cheaper labor with autonomics.\u201d<\/p>— Chetan Dube, Founder, IPsoft Inc.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The progression of\ntechnological advancements in the business industry and our daily lives has matured\nhuman life to an astute but rational phase. With perpetual amelioration of\ntech, the customer preferences and expectations have been hopping like a bunny.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outsourcing sector,\nthat has been the stronghold for a number of business industries, also has to\nface the wrath of the vacillating business climate. For a number of decades, the\noutsourcing sector enjoyed the swift rise and complete dominance on the\nbusiness community, owing to marvelous benefits such as cost-effectiveness, elevated\nefficiency, access to a diligent team, and a hiked ROI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with technology\nlike RPA (robotic process automation) now showing its worth in almost all\naspects of life, there has been discomfort and agitation in the stakeholders of\nthe outsourcing sector. With robots now stepping up to jobs like waiters, bookkeepers,\nreceptionists, front-door executives, data-entry experts, scavengers, etc., the\npossibility of eliminating human intervention from jobs that require less intelligence\nand are more routine seems real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with the phrase \u2018eliminating\nhuman intervention\u2019 comes the thought of robots replacing humans, and suddenly there\nis chaos, fear, and insecurities. However, if you are really a business expert who\nunderstands how technology plays its part in any revolution, you will not be\nscared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, you will be\nsurprised to know that unlike other business sectors, outsourcing service\nproviders are more keenly implementing RPA technology into their operating\nmodels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RPA: Slaying the need for humans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Life is not a\nHollywood flick, where robots act ultra-intelligently and the survival of\nhumans is at stake. The only questionable thing with RPA is how it can be\nimplemented in large enterprises and vast business ecosystems smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with time, RPA\nwill be soon converted into essentiality. Hundreds of companies have already\nstarted implementing RPA into their business models, making the processes much streamlined,\nfrictionless, and prompt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just businesses\nbut our mundane tasks like taking pizza orders, checking luggage in or out, making\nhotel bookings, fixing doctor\u2019s appointment, and many more are handled by robots\nonly. With RPA now claiming the territory of customer service sector too, the rundown\nwill soon be reshaping the outsourcing industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know: Industry experts have predicted\nthat by 2020, 85% of all customer interactions will be managed without any human\ninterposition?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the inclusion of\nRPA will be a necessity for all businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do customers think?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t want quick\nassistance? As a customer, I don\u2019t care who is covering my pain point, the only\nthings that matter are quality and pace of service delivery. Since RPA is known\nto easily perform repetitive human tasks, the delivery of service is done\nfaster, without letting the quality down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut to the bone, customer\npreferences will be transformed into the need of a vendor who is highly\nefficient and prompt in service delivery, making the deployment of RPA more quintessential.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019re market experts\u2019 thoughts?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the outsourcing sector that runs on the concept of delivering ace-level service experience has been dependent on its colossal workforce. There is a pertaining assumption that RPA entering into the spectrum of Business Process Outsourcing ( BPO )<\/a> will result in humungous job loss for human agents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albeit the fear is quite obvious, RPA is nothing but enhancing the overall operational capability of the outsourcing industry. If a particular task is automated by a BPO, the service delivery will be prompt and of the first-string level. Isn\u2019t this is what every business outsourcing company wishes to achieve? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, the need of humans\nin the automated processes will definitely decline but anyways agents don\u2019t like\nthe tedious and repetitive jobs of handling calls, taking orders or replying to\nthe same queries on a streak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would look at\nthe bigger picture, RPA is revolutionizing the BPS sector. Organizations can\nnow allocate their workforce to work on the tasks that require a higher level\nof intelligence, while efficient robots are handling the extraneous business\nfunctions, leading to comprehensively raised productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of amalgamating RPA with\nBPS<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deloitte Consulting and KPMG Group have observed that the cost saved with RPA included in BPS is 70% more than what is done with the conventional outsourcing model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be glad to\nhear that this is not the only benefit. There are a number of advantages that RPA\noffers to the business sector. However, there is one thing to consider. Handling\nand maintaining RPA technology requires deep domain knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outsourcing companies\nthat have already adapted to RPA norms will be a much obvious choice for the business\nowners rather than doing it in-house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the tasks\nthat businesses should outsource to the RPA-powered BPOs? Any business task\nthat is rule-based and is readily apparent should be outsourced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefit of RPA with\nBPS includes the complete elimination of issues such as scalability. Robots are\nhighly efficient and effective in managing multiple or suddenly occurring\nrequirements, giving organizations an upper edge in the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When dealing with\nagents, you have to train your new agents again and again. With RPA, the\ninstructions need to be given only once and the bot will be proficiently repeating\nthe task in the correct sequence, with precision, and without any break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, high precision\nwith RPA will raise the credibility of BPOs and contact centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intelligent Automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like every other business revolution such as industrial and computer, the wave of AI also forms a hazy picture at its beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that BPOs\nor organizations that are incorporating RPA into their business models need to\nwait a bit to get the expected ROI. If implementing RPA internally, companies\nmay need to invest more time and money, defeating the very purpose of having an\nefficient technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, contacting your\noutsourcing service provider for RPA assistance would bring much to the business\nowners\u2019 plate than an in-house facility. Global outsourcing companies are deploying\nautomation at a rapid pace. This new tech has increased the scope of solutions that\nthe BPOs used to provide to the organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RPA is transforming\nhuman activity into software using AI. And as we all know, a software that is\ninstalled in the correct manner never deviates from its objective. Still, there\na myriad of outsourcing firms that are yet to utilize RPA, why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there is a glitch. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outsourcing contracts\nand pricing structure in the last few years have been designed so that they don\u2019t\ninclude the swift deployment of RPA standards. So, it presents a technical roadblock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the\norganizations, both outsourcing and outsourced should be prepared well enough\nto use this profound technology to its fullest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How businesses should use IA (intelligent\nautomation)?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To begin with IA, a\nbusiness owner should keep a close eye on the processes that are consuming a large\nworkforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should only automate\nthe functions that are voluminous in terms of both operation and workforce. What\u2019s\nastonishing is that this was the same criteria that was used to outsource the\nbusiness tasks three decades ago when conventional BPO emerged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RPA and AI are mainly\nutilized to simplify the complexity level of organizations to increase their performance.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, to comprehend\nhow IA and enterprises will react to each other depends on the kind of business\nintegration in the company. For instance, if a big organization operates hundreds\nof ERPs that when centralized consist of 50+ systems, it will be difficult to\nbe integrated with RPA on a holistic level due to the presence of high\nsophistication. These companies, if outsourcing their functions to a BPS provider\nwho is using RPA, will find it tough to get expected ROI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, another big company has already concentrated its systems and smoothened processes with one ERP system and a centralized collection of records that can save a tremendous sum of money by tying up with a modern BPS vendor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrapping up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RPA is the rising trend of the outsourcing sector and in the coming years will integrate impeccably with the BPOs and contact centres. Already you can see chatbots challenging the live chat<\/a> agents in terms of efficiency and accuracy. With businesses becoming more complex and BPS evolving rapidly with ultra-modern techs like Cloud, AI, and RPA, the coming years will be novel for the outsourcing industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saga of businesses and customers will\nbe made further serene and outsourcing will continue to offer organizations an\nextraordinary opportunity to lower the expense and increase their operational output,\nwith RPA and AI at its either side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
