This article explains whether a company should implement "Robotic Process Automation (RPA)" to automate operations and enhance efficiency solely on its own. When introducing RPA, being overly focused on in-house development and trying to handle everything internally can be challenging due to insufficient skills within the company to manage all aspects of RPA. Additionally, if the volume of RPA implementation is low, it becomes difficult to achieve a return on investment (ROI). On the other hand, if the company simply relies on a vendor for the development aspect, it may face issues that cannot be addressed flexibly when problems arise. It is important for the company to take the lead in actively advancing the implementation plan while selecting a vendor knowledgeable about RPA implementation and relevant tools as a partner, leveraging the vendor's expertise and skills. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

In many cases, there are procedures within the business that can actually be stopped without any issues. First, it is necessary to visualize the business operations to understand the actual state of the work, and it is important to grasp the business processes of the people involved before implementing RPA. By visualizing the current business processes and reviewing them from a new perspective, it is possible to identify overlooked tasks, redundancies, and other unnecessary work that may have been blind spots. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

"What are AI, machine learning, and deep learning? How are they actually useful?" I will explain this in an easy-to-understand manner. AI has the characteristic of allowing computers to "learn" on their own, much like humans do. Additionally, the difference between "machine learning" and "deep learning" is that both are skilled at grasping patterns and features from given data, but deep learning can automatically identify the "points of interest" when distinguishing between analysis subjects. These technologies are now applied in various aspects of our lives, and it is said that the demand for them in the business sector will continue to increase in the future. To apply these technologies, let's start by understanding them first.

If you aim to improve business efficiency, you must first conduct "visualization" of your operations to understand the actual state of your business. This involves recognizing the current business processes, the man-hours and personnel involved, the visible problems and issues, and the underlying root causes that may not be immediately apparent. By viewing the entire business as a process and performing "visualization" for each individual operation, you will finally be able to grasp the overall picture of your business. *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.
