Sharper, Faster, Smarter.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software that allows computers to mimic human keyboard and mouse interactions as if a real person were doing them. These interactions can be linked together to perform basic tasks on the computer, like data entry, queries, calculations, artifact audits, and report generation. Essentially, any high-volume, rules-driven, repeatable process qualifies for automation.

RPA allows the PMO to automate portfolio and project processes in a fraction of the time of a human PMO Analyst. RPA is also non-intrusive, meaning it can be used to extract and combine data from multiple systems, such as your PPM software, finance systems, and Excel sheets.

UiPath is the global leader in RPA technologies. In 2018 UiPath was named an RPA leader in the Forrester Wave™ Robotic Process Automation report 2018. UiPath develops highly scalable RPA solutions that range from attended robots that support employees, as well as unattended bots, which can handle large-scale processing.

The UiPath toolset is efficient to deploy and provides the ability to separate data to meet GDPR and security requirements.

The modern PMO is uniquely positioned in the organization to maximize the benefits of RPA. All PMOs have one thing in common: They are good at putting processes in place that accelerate delivery, whilst providing an appropriate level of governance. With PMOs adept at creating business processes and simplifying them, the next logical step is for the PMO to automate them.
Many PMOs are already doing this through the use of Excel Macros and other shortcuts. But RPA allows the PMO to run processes that can be scheduled to run across multiple systems simultaneously, either in the background on an analyst’s machine or in the cloud.

Automating delivery processes is just the beginning. With an RPA capability in your PMO, your Project Management Office can be an automation center of excellence for the business, rapidly automating processes across the organization.

HotPMO has delivered a range of RPA solutions at the enterprise and project portfolio level. So whether you are looking to automate PMO processes, or develop an RPA capability as part of a business-wide digital transformation, HotPMO has the services and expertise to support you on every step of your automation journey.
