The post RPA – The Future Of Business Process Automation appeared first on.

Over time, the computer itself—whatever its form factor—will be an intelligent assistant helping you through your day. We will move from mobile first to an AI first world.” — Sundar Pichai, CEO Google

Introduction: Imagine your work being performed by a companion, in a shorter span of time, free of cost, without expecting any favour in return while requiring only space on your computer and processor. All you have to do is sit once and teach this friend your day to day work routine, and not just that, it's even capable of learning your work as you perform it. Did the term "learning" ring some bells there? Welcome to the era of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In this post we are going to deep dive into the most sought-after solution in the Analytic Industry for enhancing working practices with software robots through the use of RPA (Robotic Process Automation). By the time you reach the end of this post, you'd be ready to download and install a bunch of free RPA tools and can start training your own bots, or as you may call them, 'virtual workforce companions'. So, let's get started!.

What is RPA?

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is an emerging form of technology for clerical process automation. RPA is based on the concept of Artificial Intelligence or Software Robots. Software agents or RPA is becoming a mainstream topic at leading corporations. I have personally observed immense uptick in corporate strategy work in this discipline. Most of us are aware of Apple Siri, drones, driverless cars, Microsoft Cortana, IBM Watson, Amazon Alexa, and Google DeepMind as they are mainstreams. What most folks are not aware of is the rapidly advancing field of enterprise robots, to transform business processes by enabling automation of manual working practices by creating a virtual workforce of Bots. This workforce enables automation of back office tasks through a rules based administrative process.

"Robotic process automation refers to a style of automation where machine, or computer mimics a human's action in completing rules-based tasks" - Blue Prism

RPA banks on the synchronicity of Machine Learning, Analytics and rules-based software to interpret and capture existing data streams for manipulating data, processing a transaction and communicating with other enterprise applications (Web Applications, ERP, HRMS, SCM, SFA, CRM etc.

Where is it required in the Industry?

RPA is already being used extensively in a wide range of industries to improve accuracy, consistency, quality and speed of service delivery. Let's explore some instances where these virtual workforce companions can add value:

(A) Automate rules based and data intensive activities: Cross-enterprise apps can be created by bringing different apps and tools in conjunction to solve a business problem. Intense data driven activities like procurement, HR, invoicing, billing, data scraping and compilation can all be automated.

(B) Interact with and learn from client's natural language interface in order to solve business problems and respond easily to handle of queries.

(C) Unite them all: Orchestrate other application software apps through existing user interfaces or APIs.

(D) Grab data from most painful unstructured sources of information: Text data inscribed in Tagged image files, unsearchable PDFs & images can all be extracted using the powerful OCR feature that comes packed with most RPA offerings..

5 Strategies That Will Really Grow Your Instagram Audience

Martin Smith — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 13:57:14 +0000

The post 5 Strategies That Will Really Grow Your Instagram Audience appeared first on .

There is a stupendous growth in the growth statistics of Instagram followers in the social media world. It is both fun and user-friendly interactive platform for its users. In fact this the reason that so many big public personalities and big brands get themselves associated here to promote their products and opinions.

So the question arises is that how do the brands expand their presence in Instagram and earn a good list of followers?

The simple answer is that they target a particular set of audience analyzing their interests and buying behavior and drive all the efforts and actions to draw their attention who comes under that category of buyers.

Though it sounds very simple it requires an in-depth search and analysis to form a list of those the audience who may show interest in knowing more about your products or services. This process is very time consuming and at times leads to a lot of confusion also.

Many users even use the Instagram growth tools such as Combin which helps doing a smart search. It automates the process of Following and Unfollowing Liking and Commenting actions. They even help in scheduling the list of audience based on their Instagram daily actions.

So, in fact, you can actually grow your Instagram audience by following these 5 strategies:

Search The Audience By Hashtags

You can populate a useful list of Instagram user who is relevant to your requirement. This can be done by launching Combin, Posts search and type in Hashtags. This will specify all the preferable search results with the number and the posting date after which you can click and find.

Identify Your Target Audience By Locations And Events

Do the sorting of all the searched results by filtering the date or count of likes and comments; this helps you to interact with the most recent and hottest post. You can even segregate the comments that are already liked or commented on and also the post that has been posted by the followers or users from the list of your Instagram users or followers. You can then pick out the post which you want to like or comment on by clicking on them. Your chances of finding the new potential followers get doubled if you know of any place or event which was attended by those set of people who shares the same interest in your product or content.

Create New Posts Search By Location Name

Mention the publishing date to filter and sort the results as per your requirement. You can do some action items like Liking the comment or posting your comment on that and even following the actions to attract attention towards your Instagram account.

Look For Your Target Audience Through Other’s Account

By clicking on Add new Search and picking user search you can specify your search by putting different filters such as either by the list of followers of a particular Instagram account or by the users who comment on the particular posts.

Bring Attention To Your Profile By Interaction

Merely by searching the right list of people won’t serve the purpose; you actually need to communicate with those people as well.

Top 5 Cybersecurity Myth To Leave Behind In 2018

Martin Smith — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 09:49:36 +0000

The post Top 5 Cybersecurity Myth To Leave Behind In 2018 appeared first on .

Cybersecurity is always a pressing issue for the companies. Today irrespective of the sector data is the life and blood of all the industries. A huge amount of data are being stored and their security is always a prime concern for the companies.

There is no denying that there is always a risk of high profile data breaches and that poses a great threat to any kind of negligence if made. It is even more alarming that still many organizations are holding on to outdated data security myths. Especially the small to medium size business enterprises which are still dwelling in the darkness of security threats due to the scarcity of resources which can help them to overcome the web security issues.

With the growing data security technologies , the hackers too are coming up with much developed and sophisticated approach and technologies which are able to adapt to the better methods to compromise the web securities to steal information. That is why it is even more important for the business owners to keep pace with the defending technologies for their data and must be informed about the various combative actions in order to keep up with the persistent hackers.

There are top 5 security myths that certainly needs to be left behind for the year 2018.

1. Small businesses are immune to hacking

In the world of data security, no business is free from hacking. Hence it is just a myth that data security breaches will affect only the big size companies. Based on a research report done by IBM almost 62% of all cyber-attacks are aimed at the small and medium-size businesses. It is easier to target the small business websites are they are not that well protected as compared to the large size companies. According to some source, 60% of the small size companies run out of business within 6 months after they are hacked.

2. Strong password protection

Creating a password should be very well though. People who don’t pay much heed while creating their password are always under the threat of hackers. If they use simple passwords for all the accounts that they use, then they become vulnerable to the external attacks where the hackers are on a constant lookout to guess different passwords until they reach the correct one. So if the hacker manages to guess the password for one account and if the same password is used for various other accounts by the site owner then it can really prove fatal from data security standpoint.

3. Don’t rely entirely on firewall and antivirus software

Although firewall and antivirus software is important for the basic site security, however, they should not be used as the only defensive tool from the hackers. With the kind of sophisticated methods that the hackers are coming up these days, they can easily move around the firewalls and antivirus software without even being detected. Hence it is advisable for the site owners to invest in software that prevents data loss and encryption to enhance the security of their site. They should always keep updating their security software and have backups of their site on regular basis.

4. Employees can pose a threat to the network or website security

Whether intentional or unintentional even the employees can pose a threat to the internal network security. Hence it is essential for the company to properly train and make the employees aware of the data protection policies. This will help them understand the consequences of clicking on the suspicious links or a spam email.

5. Security through anonymity

Security through anonymity is the method to hide all the vulnerabilities in a system, thereby making it difficult for the hackers to access the site. For instance, the site owner can keep changing the name of an important file to something more generic thus disguising this file so that it is hard to be found, however, if the hacker is experienced then it will be able to gain entry.

Top Five Predictions Of Cloud Computing For 2019

Martin Smith — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 08:04:47 +0000

At present, the companies are swiftly moving their legacy IT infrastructure and applications to Cloud Technology. Hence it is apparent that the cloud computing industry has come a long way in the recent times.

Cloud Computing technology is not only reliable for store sensitive data but it also offers business solutions to all kinds of problems across the section of industries. Knowing the benefits of Cloud computing technology companies are enhancing their IT infrastructure and working on Business Automation processes to ensure there is a high availability of their applications across the globe.

With growing demand for cloud technology there are some key predictions made for Cloud Computing for the years 2019:

Cloud Categories will be on the rise

There are different types of cloud computing technology existing in the market. Hybrid, public and private types of cloud technology which are also known as multi-cloud are being used by the companies based on their requirement. For instance, users use cloud computing in different versions some use the traditional systems in combination with the public cloud, some use the hybrid form of clouds; the virtualized sets of servers usually use the private clouds.

Due to the different versions of cloud computing in use the names are often misapplied.

Non-US cloud providers will be more in Demand

Apart from the existing US players, there are other new players in the market that are coming up with cloud technologies; one such name is Alibaba. As these new providers enter into the market the other global players and the US government will certainly make an attempt check there lead; however the small to medium size US business will try to look up at these upcoming providers considering their low costs.

Increasing Scarcity of skills in cloud technologies

Though the cloud computing technology is of great help there is a great shortage of skilled people to implement these technologies. Due to frequent change in technologies and in the presence of ample options available it gets tough to find the right set of people having the required skill sets. The solution will be the ability to learn things quickly. The companies also instead of looking out for external talent can focus on retraining its existing pool of resources. This will help in bridging the skill gaps.

Rapid migration public cloud

Most likely the organizations will be adopting a public-cloud-first strategy. Some companies still bank upon the on-premises solutions as their trajectory to the public cloud. While others believe this to be their endgame. However, the speed of innovation in the field of public cloud technology will overtake these on-premises solutions. Due to this lag, the companies will be forced to embrace the public cloud.

Cloud Security will be needed to strengthen

It is speculated that there can be some breach of the securities of the cloud infrastructure. Cyber attackers will bounce back with more complicated techniques, so to combat these risks the security analysts in both government and private sectors will have to revamp their ways to detect and deal with such attacks at the right time. The Business process will realize the need to invest in SIEM tools for better cybersecurity.

What is the Future of Big Data Analytics and Hadoop?

Martin Smith — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 08:36:58 +0000

Technology has given us many useful tools to upgrade our work. Big Data Analytics is one of them. Data is the most important part of any industry to function. This is the reason that data handling should be dealt with care. Big Data plays an important role in maintaining the huge amount of data. It is omnipresent and there always has been a requirement to capture, collect and store whatever data is being generated so that there is not data loss.

Big Data has taken a lead in the IT industry and has played a significant role in the Business growth and decision making processes to give you an edge over the competitors. This is equally applicable to the organizations as well as professionals existing in the analytics domain. Big Data Analytics, bring an ocean of opportunities for the professionals, who are skilled in it.

There is an escalating demand for Analytics Professionals especially from the people sitting at senior executive positions, has stressed the significance of analytics professionals by stating that “ Data is useless without the skill to analyze it.” There are plenty of job opportunities in big data management and analytics as compared to last year and many IT professionals are preparing themselves to invest their time and money for the training.

The job trend graph for Big Data Analytics, taken from various job portals, proves that there is a growing trend for it and consequently there is a steady increase in the number of job opportunities.

The world today is closely connected and people and organizations are thriving by creating massive volumes of data at an unstoppable rate. Consequently, the significance of Big data Analytics has improved even more.

Another important technology in the IT world is Hadoop which is not a database, in fact, it is a software which is an open source to handle a large amount of structured and semi-structured data. It is primarily designed for large data processes that address all the individual files of the database. Hadoop is ideal for the slow and steady pace of work where fast performance is not critical, for instance reviewing daily transactions reports, scanning of historical data, and performing analytics where a slower time-to-insight is acceptable. Hadoop certainly scores over traditional databases in the aspects of normalization and scalability.

Big companies like Facebook, Google uses Hadoop to collect, store and manage the colossal data sets.

Hadoop is a well-measured platform because it can not only store a large number of data but can distribute very large data sets across hundreds of inexpensive servers that operate in parallel. Large web companies such as Google and Facebook use Hadoop to store and manage their huge datasets. It has come a big way in deeply changing the economics of storing and analyzing information. It is a focal point of large- scalable data management activities whose analysis either integrate or generate data.

How to Handle Negative Thoughts or Emotions at Work

Martin Smith — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 12:03:49 +0000

The post How to Handle Negative Thoughts or Emotions at Work appeared first on .

Nature has made all human beings as emotional creatures. It is this attribute that makes all humans stand out from the other living beings. However, it is this emotion that plays with the human’s mind. It is good to acknowledge the changing emotions that take place within us rather than keeping them under control.

Times are not always the same; there are situations where we become emotionally challenged and do not know the ways to handle them. Emotional outbursts can take place at any place; it can be home or at work.

It is very important to handle any emotional imbalance taking place at work. This imbalance can take place due to either directly related to work-related matters or discomforts created due to some colleagues at the office. The biggest trait of professionalism is to know how to handle the emotions especially the negative ones at work.

We have a habit of cribbing about even small things happening at work. We make some like-minded people as our friends to confide in and even talk about the everyday events taking place with our life partner. However, if we sit to recount all the list of things that we keep complaining about makes us even more miserable and demotivates us from enjoying our work at the office. The best way to deal with such emotions is to first acknowledge the negative feelings. In case of doubt or hardships that surface at work can be strategically handled by following few key rules:

Distance yourself from the situation and observe things

Try to observe your situation from distance, for instance, a meeting that didn’t go on well and or you felt humiliated by your coworker; there can be a situation where you were not given proper credits for the contribution that had made for the completion of a project.

In such situations you should learn to practice acceptance this can be started by making a list of all those unpleasant experiences that you had been going through lately. Then focus on the things that you cannot control. Start thinking and talking to yourself about a certain situation like if you didn’t a promotion you have the right to get angry or feel sorry about it but only until a point. Beyond that, you should have the courage to tell yourself that it is OK not getting that promotion. Life is not only about that.

Positives and Negatives go Hand in Hand

The key to happiness in any kind of situation is in not judging the situation entirely by its face value. Not all situations are completely positive or negative. So one should have the wisdom to observe the positives in any negative situation. This helps in regulating your emotions on something which is not happening according to your desire. By trying these kinds of techniques you will have a better control of your emotional ability and will learn to channelize your emotion in a better way.

To stop any negative emotion it is very important to mentally remove yourself from that situation. Researchers have suggested that more the distance you build and try to gain the third-party perspective the better way you can handle the situation and bring down the negative emotions.
