Frequently Asked Questions
How is Robotic Process Automation used?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is used to transform business processes and workflows across various industries by automating repetitive and rule-based tasks. Here's how Xerox drives efficiency and productivity through our RPA platform:
Document Processing and Management:
RPA solutions are employed to automate document-related tasks, such as scanning, data extraction, indexing, and archiving. This streamlines document management processes, reduces manual errors, and accelerates information retrieval.
Invoice and Payment Processing:
Utilized to automate the end-to-end invoice processing cycle. This includes data extraction from invoices, validation, approval routing, and payment processing, leading to faster invoice turnaround times and improved cash flow management.
Customer Service and Support:
Assists organizations in enhancing customer service by automating routine inquiries, order processing, and issue resolution. Chatbots and virtual assistants powered by RPA can provide 24/7 support, improving customer satisfaction.
HR and Employee Onboarding:
Xerox RPA is leveraged to streamline HR processes, such as employee onboarding, payroll processing, and benefits administration. It automates tasks like data entry, document generation, and compliance checks, enabling HR teams to focus on strategic activities.
Supply Chain Optimization:
RPA solutions optimize supply chain operations by automating demand forecasting, order processing, inventory management, and vendor communication. This leads to reduced lead times, lower costs, and improved inventory accuracy.
Finance and Accounting:
Applied to automate financial processes, including accounts payable and receivable, financial reporting, and reconciliation. It ensures accuracy, compliance, and faster financial close cycles.
Healthcare Claims and Billing:
In the healthcare sector, Xerox RPA automates claims processing, eligibility verification, and billing, reducing claim denials, improving revenue cycle management, and enhancing patient experiences.
Manufacturing and Quality Control:
Assists manufacturers in automating quality control processes by monitoring production lines, detecting defects, and triggering corrective actions. This improves product quality and reduces production downtime.
Legal Document Management:
In the legal field, Xerox RPA is used for document review, categorization, and due diligence. It speeds up the document-intensive processes associated with legal cases and transactions.
Data Security and Compliance:
Helps ensure data security and compliance by automating data backup, access control, and audit trail creation. It also assists in managing data retention policies and responding to data security incidents.
IT Operations and Helpdesk Support:
Automates routine IT tasks like user provisioning, password resets, and software updates, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic projects and complex technical issues.
RPA is a versatile technology that can be customized to address specific business needs, drive operational efficiency, reduce costs, enhance accuracy, and improve the overall customer and employee experience. By automating repetitive tasks, Xerox RPA allows organizations to allocate their resources more strategically and adapt to the evolving demands of the digital age.

Does RPA need coding?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions are designed to be user-friendly and typically do not require extensive coding expertise. Xerox RPA platforms often feature low-code or no-code development environments, allowing users to configure and automate processes using intuitive visual interfaces. This approach empowers business users and subject matter experts to create and deploy RPA bots without the need for advanced coding skills, accelerating the adoption and implementation of automation within organizations. However, for more complex tasks or advanced integrations, coding capabilities may still be beneficial, but they are not a strict requirement for leveraging Xerox RPA solutions effectively.
What features and capabilities are important in Robotic Process Automation?
The following features and capabilities are important in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology:
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive and user-friendly interfaces empower business users to design, configure, and manage RPA bots without the need for extensive coding skills, facilitating rapid adoption within organizations.
- Scalability: RPA platforms should allow organizations to scale automation efforts easily to accommodate growing business needs, ensuring long-term viability and flexibility.
- Integration: Seamless integration capabilities are crucial to enable RPA bots to work harmoniously with existing systems and applications, ensuring a cohesive automation ecosystem.
- Security and Compliance: RPA solutions should prioritize robust security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry regulations and data protection standards.
- Analytics and Reporting: Advanced analytics and reporting features provide insights into bot performance, process efficiency, and potential areas for optimization, aiding in data-driven decision-making.
- Cognitive Automation: Incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities into RPA technology enhances its ability to handle unstructured data, make decisions, and adapt to complex scenarios.
- Process Orchestration: RPA platforms should offer process orchestration capabilities to manage end-to-end processes seamlessly, spanning multiple bots and human interventions.
- Exception Handling: Effective exception handling mechanisms allow RPA bots to handle unexpected scenarios and errors gracefully, ensuring process continuity.
- Audit Trails: Comprehensive audit trails and logs enable organizations to track and monitor bot activities for compliance and accountability purposes.
- Support and Training: Access to robust customer support and training resources is vital to ensure that organizations can effectively implement, maintain, and optimize their RPA solutions.
Xerox believes that RPA technology should provide a comprehensive set of features and capabilities that empower organizations to automate processes efficiently, securely, and in a way that aligns with their unique business objectives and requirements.
