About this event

2021.03.16_event banner

In an environment of increasing adoption, cross pollination of capability platforms, and hyperbolic capability claims the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) landscape is evolving (particularly in the context of federal government implementation, for the Canberra Branch Audience). RPAs are emerging and growing rapidly across all government departments, however the nature of the solution and platform and the goals of each program vary wildly. Coupled with an ever changing set of capabilities declared by each provider, the worlds of “no-code automation” and “AI enabled solutions” have come crashing together.

The discussion would seek to cover the nature of implementations in the Canberra environment, their general areas of success and learning experiences, and how this sets the scene for the post 2020 arrival of “Hyper Automation” movement. 

This topic and content would be suitable for both RPA professionals (who will carry their own existing insight and experience in the field) as well as the broader ACS professional seeking to understand the landscape they may be stepping into when interacting with a RPA project, team or platform.

key learning outcomes:

Increasing Adoption – the Canberra lag

Emergent Capabilities – the current sales pitch
  • Hyper Automation
  • RPA product bundles
Reality – An all too real fictional case study
  • Solutions – Where do we go from here
  • Basics
  • Building from the ground up
  • Rebuilding an aircraft in flight
