As the world moves towards a new normal, the workload has become heavier and more complex. New and enhanced business processes may need to be implemented. The move will likely increase the workload for IT operations, resulting in many more tasks to be done while ensuring that business processes run smoothly. Enter Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which enables organizations to automate processes, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Hitachi’s RPA linkage between RPA tools and JP1 can ensure that RPA tools handle tasks well. The truth is that many processes can be automated through RPA, but there are limitations to it. For instance, you can execute your RPA job with a job scheduler according to your business day calendar that defines at JP1. The linkage to JP1 will enable RPA tools to proceed according to set times and preset triggers.
RPA tools allow tasks to be configured and automatically operate as scheduled based on preset timings which allows you to prevent mistakes, thus reducing the time required for work and improving the quality and efficiency of regular processes performed on PCs. With JP1, you can ensure that data aggregation preset operations (such as date, time, task, status) are conducted as scheduled with RPA tools on the respective platforms and systems. For swifter process operations, tasks such as logging into a locked Windows-based PC and linking client and server-side events can be defined and executed with JP1.
Apart from scheduled RPA processes, event triggers can be created through JP1. As some tasks are sequential and can only be conducted based on the output of the previous task, JP1 enhances RPAs by triggering the next task when the previous task’s output has been detected. One example would be how an RPA is triggered upon receiving a file from an earlier task. Enabling triggering helps reduce man-hours as RPAs do not need to be manually activated. JP1 allows these processes and workflows to be set from a single interface with a simple flow map visualisation.
Through automation with JP1, organizations benefit from the reduction of work hours that were once used for these processes and benefit from the quality of work produced by these tools. In a case study done by Hitachi, an organization managed to cut energy consumed by about 42 percent after adopting JP1, saving cost and the environment.
JP1 is compelling for organizations to effectively utilize RPA tools that enhance your organization’s efficiency and benefit the environment. It is also essential to understand the significance of JP1's support model, where the 10-year warranty ensures constant customer support for peace of mind. Future updated versions of JP1 will also remain compatible with older versions. Should the organization need to upgrade to newer versions in the future, this can be done progressively, which is useful for resource and budget planning.
