The ability to understand the content of business documents is a key factor for maximising the ROI of RPA investments, it said.

Although RPAexcels in the automation of numerous tasks, it is said to fail in automating tasks that need the ability to accurately comprehend, categorise, correlate and extract knowledge from data.

Expert System solves these limitations by allowing the integration between RPA bots and advanced NLU algorithms. This is expected to extend the reach and accuracy of automation to more complex processes and use cases while minimising manual activities.

ING Natural Language Processing product ownerBastiaanZaad said:  “Today, thanks to Expert System’s AI, all our customer relation centres in the Netherlands benefit from a much more reliable and much more accurate email management process, with 100% of emails being automatically processed by the platform.
