What is the timeframe that the client and their staff members are required to allocate to this process and what is the general flow?2023-01-30T09:31:54-05:00

There will be a one-time video conference meeting where the required information is presented by your team to our team.

This creates the scope which outlines each step that kick starts the project.

The usual timeframe is approximately 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the clients needs.

This meeting is recorded to ensure all details of the meeting are collected, documented and developed for the Process Design Document (PDD).

This document is the blueprint outline that will be implemented for automation.

This is ONQ’s general flow process:

  • Project kickoff call with both teams
  • Scope: gathering all necessary requirements
  • PDD: Development and blueprint of automation
  • Programming of PDD
  • Internal Testing of automation and Client Validation
  • Activation and Deployment of automation

Is this a truly automated solution?2023-01-30T09:32:46-05:00

The solution leverages ONQ’s RPA technology to customize a program for your business process logic.

This automation works through the decision tree, that is analyzed through the data, and collected pertaining to your business.

This allows ONQ to apply this data to enable us to discover and perform the work accordingly.

Once the automation is built, it operates on a custom schedule.

ONQ offers our Qbot monitoring service to complement the automations, monitor all processes, and detect any anomalies that may be caused by third party system changes.

ONQ immediately addresses and updates your custom solution within 48 hours, ensuring the workflow is uninterrupted and operated – as it was designed to do.

How Will RPA Affect the Human Workforce?2023-01-30T09:32:10-05:00

RPA is much more likely to contribute to potential job reallocation and even job creation than it is to reduce headcount.

It will improve the features, functions, and performance of products, as well as optimize internal business operations.

By automating tasks, “Up skill” comes into play.

Now, ONQ’s collaborators invest their time into learning new, higher value skills.
