Business process automation: The past, present and futureQorus Software
With current economic challenges and technology’s exponential growth shaping the way companies operate, automation has an integral role to play in many business processes. When utilized strategically, Business Process Automation (BPA) is a powerful tool for increasing productivity while reducing the amount of resources that are required to complete routine tasks.
By taking over repetitive (and often mind-numbing) tasks and processes, BPA can also play a key role in boosting staff engagement and satisfaction. This in turn increases talent retention and saves the costs associated with hiring and training new employees. With the mundane assignments taken care of by technology, employees have more time to focus on projects that require their unique human capabilities – such as creative thought, strategic decision-making or knowledge-based analysis.
That said, BPA goes beyond just handling routine tasks such as data manipulation or information management. It also covers the automation of complex business processes through the use of advanced technologies.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
