Managing Digitalization in Finance via Robotic Process Automation

Abstract:

Corporates face the digitalization since a while. Satzger et al. (cp. 2015, p. 229) state that the volume of the workable data exponential increase which is affirmed by Kohlhammer et al. (cp. 2016, p. 315) who forecast the global data volume of over 2.5 billion terabyte and that the volume of the data has outnumbered the work capacity since years especially the high number of unstructured data. According to Russom’s TDWI checklist report (cp. 2010) the integration of the data (semi as well as unstructured) will grow with the consequence of a complex integration and with another focus on the integration of data quality, real time plus complex event processing (cp. Knabke und Olbrich, 2016, p. 199). Beside the challenge of the deepen data volume, data are appreciated as important resource which are beneficial for effective operative business steering as well as provide big potential of gaining competitive advantages (cp. Gluchowski, 2016, p. 228).
