Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a key force in digital transformation and technology many Deltek customers use to automate repetitive tasks. RPA bots or robots can be integrated into business processes to mimic human interactions with digital systems to execute manual, time-intensive, high-volume and rule-driven tasks. By leveraging machine learning models, bots can learn from data over time, identify patterns and make behavioural decisions with minimal human intervention.

At Deltek, we view RPA as a complementary technology to our ERP solutions. By carrying out repetitive and tedious tasks, such as creating new projects, setting up new employees, processing invoices and even monitoring security clearance status, RPA can help companies stay competitive and gain efficiency. We’ve joined forces with Alirrium, a UiPath reseller and Deltek Marketplace Partner, to help automate this monotonous and rule-based work while enhancing speed and accuracy for our project-based customers.

With the help of robotic process automation, businesses can free their employees from mundane and repetitive tasks and allow them to focus on more creative and strategic work. Automating business processes with RPA technology saves time and money, improves accuracy and quality, and enhances customer satisfaction while eliminating human error and ensuring compliance with rules and regulations. With RPA, businesses can deliver faster and more reliable services while quickly adjusting to the changing demands and workflows, whether compliance-related, seasonal, cross-functional or cloud-based.

Streamline Operations

Automate workflows, synchronise data across different systems, track progress and performance and alert users of any issues or risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Enhance Productivity

Boost performance and satisfaction by eliminating tedious, repetitive system tasks to allow employees to focus on the work they love doing.

​Compliance Simplification

Ensure legal compliance, minimise errors and streamline documentation for faster, accurate reporting.

Robotic process automation has emerged as a transformative technology that significantly impacts how businesses utilise their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and deliver on their projects. RPA enables businesses to leverage the full potential of ERP systems by aligning the automation with industry-specific customisation and compliance requirements. Potential use cases for project-based businesses include automating invoice processing, new employee onboarding, project creation and closeout and more. RPA is the key to unlocking the synergy between ERP systems and project-based industries, allowing businesses to thrive in a competitive and dynamic landscape.

For architecture and engineering firms, RPA can streamline tasks such as design review and project management to document control and quality assurance. It validates design specifications, identifies errors and tracks project progress and budget. In addition, it can help manage document workflows and approvals and ensure project deliverable quality and accuracy.
