Do you have hardware or software that was once used efficiently but is now considered outdated and lacking in performance?  Maybe this is because a newer version has been released or you no longer have support for the system?

At Robocloud, we understand that as a small/medium sized business, you may not have the time, money or risk appetite to invest in a whole new system, but we also recognise that keeping hold of your existing legacy system in its current state could cost you for other reasons such as:

• Poor security – once your system is no longer supported, you will not receive security updates from the developer and will have the worry your data may be lost or vulnerable
• Lack of integration – your current platform might struggle to take advantage of portals or internal and external services that have become available since you implemented it, which might be affecting your ability to offer customers better products or services.
• Potential data breaches – outdated technology may not support the stringent regulatory compliance requirements, meaning you may incur penalties or fees for any data breaches.
• Poor efficiency – your business might recognise that there are better ways of doing things but you feel like you’re constrained in the way you deliver your processes.
• Increased failure rates – resulting in increased downtime and a risk of losing customers.
• Reduced scalability and growth – your outdated software will not keep up as your business grows meaning a change will need to take place.

Many companies have seemingly ‘irreplaceable’ legacy systems that they have heavily invested in but are now demonstrating a reduction in functionality.  However, the thought of implementing something new can be far too daunting, costly and time-consuming.

There is an answer – Robocloud offer a solution that can help you keep hold of your outdated system whilst driving out inefficiencies! A solution that can solve your legacy problems, keep costs down and maintain your place in the market without the risk, cost or negative user impact of change.

Using Robotic Process Automation (RPA), our cloud-based robots can mimic many of the roles of human user actions including time consuming, manual and rule based repetitive tasks, and they operate 24/7, every day of the year.

Especially useful in industries such as Healthcare, IT, Finance, Insurance, Human Resources, Retail and businesses looking for digital transformation, RPA increases efficiency through the automation of processes.

If you feel it’s time to sit down and consider which internal processes within your organisation could be automated in order to be more efficient, talk to our RPA Ninjas at Robocloud today and we will explain exactly how it works and what it could do for you. Call 0800 046 8086 or contact us.

Many companies still use legacy systems to run critical processes but, despite being old, they remain dependable and reliable – so why would you want to change them? 

There are several tell-tale signs that may make you reconsider your current platforms:

• Manual workarounds – your employees have found a way around shortcomings in your current platforms but this means more work and data leaking across your organisation
• Skilled employees becoming scarce or expensive – people who understood or could develop the system further no longer work for the company.
• Servers can’t keep up with demand – the old system simply can’t keep up and isn’t fit for further business scale.
• Changes to the business – requiring more from your system, either in terms of new and updated processes or new functionality that’s required to ensure your business keeps up
• Compelling new technology – making you rethink your existing system.

If you have an ageing system in place, we are sure that the thought of replacing it would feel very daunting – but there is another option. 

At Robocloud we offer Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Services where our team of robots can help bridge the gap between your old system and any new digital innovations – temporarily or as a long-term solution.

Capable of understanding many of the tasks carried out by humans, our robots can be trained to interact and bring data from many systems by following associated rules.

So how could RPA help with legacy system issues?

• RPA can ‘fill the gaps’ between where your system is now, and where you need it to be.
• We can integrate new platforms with your legacy systems, no code required.
• You can use Robocloud to help regain control of your data and processes, eliminating the manual workarounds and improving efficiencies.
• RPA could even help to speed up your existing platforms by taking some of the intensive processing elsewhere before returning it to your core line of business systems.

Benefits of RPA include

• Accuracy and Consistency – our robots don’t make mistakes
• No expert programmers – this is code free technology
• Robots follow instructions – and provide an audit trail for every step, they can meet the strictest compliance standards
• Efficiency – robots can complete tasks at a faster speed compared to humans, therefore increasing productivity.
• Reliability – our robots don’t sleep, and they work 24/7
