From incident response managers to network analysts, many cyber professionals are turning to active, hands-on exercises to improve their abilities. But why is gamification such a powerful new learning approach? Let’s find out!
An application or service that you develop once to run in multiple clouds has a clear advantage over one that is bound to a single OS or runtime environment. Container technology makes it possible, but container security vulnerabilities are beginning to surface. We describe 6 steps you can take to ensure that container security doesn’t become a DevOps roadblock.
Why, after 20+ years of investment in business process automation technologies, less than 20% of the tasks have been automated? The primary reason is the lack of well defined APIs in 85% of the enterprise systems. The result is an ever growing IT backlog of integration requests from line of business.
This paper provides an overview of the industry’s highest standard for enterprise-grade security as demonstrated by the market’s leading Digital Workforce platform, Automation Anywhere Enterprise.
Where does RPA intersect with AI? In the hotbed of emerging AI technologies— where you’ll find speech and facial recognition, neural networks, and deep learning to mention a few—RPA meets AI in cognitive computing.
This eBook explains what makes these smart bots—called cognitive bots—so valuable. You’ll discover unprecedented ways cognitive bots can help your business.
Organizations have a lot riding on the efficiency and effectiveness of their procure-to-pay processes. Disruptions to an organization’s ability to purchase or pay for materials, goods and services can negatively impact its supply chain, customers and financial standing. Yet, most organizations rely on manual or semi-automated procure-to-pay processes that cost too much, take too long, create too many errors, provide inadequate visibility and frustrate internal stakeholders and suppliers. A big part of the blame can be pinned on the top-down approach that most organizations have traditionally taken to automating business processes. Another contributor is the exploding volume of “dark data” – untapped structured and unstructured data from documents such as invoices, purchase orders and shipping documents. Robotic process automation (RPA) with cognitive automation makes it easier and more cost effective for procure-to-pay organizations to automate. The technology empowers business users with software robots (bots) that automate business processes, such as procure-to-pay, to achieve operational and strategic benefits.
This paper details the challenges with traditional approaches to business process automation, provides an overview of RPA and cognitive automation, and lays out the technology’s benefits in procure-to-pay.
Amidst all of explosive growth in the RPA space, what is keeping organizations from taking their RPA capabilities to the next level? AIIM believes that one answer lies in the unique challenges associated with integrating unstructured information into an RPA environment.
In this eBook, we explore the following questions:
RPA platforms represent a hyper growth market, with enterprises investing in new RPA platforms for process and task automation to achieve greater operating efficiency and agility, while allowing the human workforce to focus on more strategic and higher priority projects and tasks. Intelligent process automation (IPA) is in an early phase of its evolution and represents the next frontier for RPA vendors. This Ovum Decision Matrix (ODM) is a comprehensive evaluation to help enterprise IT and business leaders, including chief information officers (CIOs), enterprise and process architects, IT directors, line-of-business (LOB) leaders and process owners, and digital transformation leaders select an RPA platform that is well suited to their specific requirements.
With RPA, companies can automate a wide range of processes they wouldn’t have imagined possible before. These range from very rote tasks, such as cutting and pasting customer data from a CRM system into a back-office ERP system, all the way up to unattended software bots capable of intelligent decision-making based on pre-set logic.
What is clear is that RPA is at a tipping point. But will this growth continue? If so, on what path? What innovations lie ahead?
This e-book will provide Automation Anywhere’s insights about the future, with seven RPA predictions for 2019. These predictions relate to market growth, technology disruptions, platform enhancements and new use cases for RPA.
What cognitive automation is, why you need it, and how to do it right
Adding cognitive capabilities to robotic process automation (RPA) is the biggest trend in business process automation since, well, RPA.
In this eBook, you’ll learn how to succeed with cognitive automation by following six basic steps.
Dangerous perpetrators continue to flood headlines as innocent human beings become victims. Yet, statistics can’t prepare managers or employees for what to do when their workplace becomes a target for any type of safety issue.
When management accepts that no one is guaranteed safety because emergency situations are always lurking, optimism is replaced with action that results in preparedness. Crisis management, communication and safety plans can mitigate loss, confusion, and save lives.
To ensure employee safety, here are 7 ways to prepare for building emergencies.
From severe weather alerts, to closings, to emergency notifications, to networking events and staffing updates, sending real-time news must be quick, easy and manageable. Otherwise, you may miss an opportunity to send critical and timely information to your employees, which could hold you responsible for damages and consequences – and end up costing you more money and time.
To remove the obstacles between what you know and what your employees need-to-know, your employee communication system must have these 6 non-negotiables.
This might not have been the case ten years ago, but today, every company needs to have an internal communications department in place, regardless of its size, structure, or operating sector.
Analyzing the need for such a department while putting an emphasis on the importance of delivering effective employee communications, but also state the significance of implementing benchmarks for the measurement of the success of internal communications efforts is mandatory for all businesses. In comprehensively going through those aspects and the characteristics of employee communications, its main focus, major challenges, and how communications teams should operate, this white paper will present what those benchmarks are and how to set them in order to improve employee communications and achieve all company goals.
These questions are worth the consideration of every internal communicator because 29% of employees say their company’s internal communications isn’t working.
Worse yet, 70% of U.S. employees are not engaged at work. These are alarming statistics and can have catastrophic implications for companies without proper internal communication practices in place.
The average American spends over 4 hours per day staring at their smart phone screen and text messaging is responsible for ¼ of that time. There simply is no other channel that can cut through the clutter and reach all demographics like SMS marketing.
We are living in an age in which communication channels are always open, bombarding us with notifications and messages either from your families, friends, employers, or the brands we engage with.
Therefore, sometimes we might end up disabling notifications or filtering the messages we are getting via an internet channel in the search of tranquility. It is in these times that text messages prove their real value. They are broadcasted in real time, providing a clean, elegant, and effective mean of getting in touch with someone. When it comes to the relationship and communication between businesses and customers, text message marketing is an excellent tool, as it relies upon the prior agreement of the customer and the real-time engagement of the business. This white paper will address and analyze text message marketing and provide an understanding of its benefits but also of best practices to have in mind for a better implementation and achieving of all goals.
