In order to enhance efficiency and customer services, social security institutions have increasingly applied process automation techniques, such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA). This can reduce potential bottlenecks due to high volumes of repetitive but tailored tasks, and help social security institution face unexpected peaks of operations.
The COVID-19 crisis has not only further reinforced the importance of implementing efficient digitalized customer services but has also shown how some types of operations may grow unexpectedly in very short delays.
While having a great potential to improve operations, the application of advanced process automation techniques can be challenging due to technological complexities as well as the limited application in social security.
The webinar will discuss these challenges and practical experiences in implementing advanced process automation. In addition to analysing lessons learnt in light of customer services during the COVID-19 crisis, the webinar will also point to ISSA products and services that support member institutions in this context.
