Myths about Automation

At Pro Global, automation projects are viewed as having two main costs: the cost of the tool and the cost of implementation. Although these combined might initially seem high, a closer look often reveals that they’re more accessible than you might expect.

On the implementation side, it’s crucial to opt for leading low-code automation tool like Automation Anywhere®, which allow for faster development compared to others, thereby reducing development hours and consequently, project costs. Additionally, this tool (the most used by Pro Global) is intuitive and user-friendly.

Another key factor is selecting the right partner to lead the development. It’s essential that they have experience in insurance and reinsurance to avoid delays or misunderstandings during the project. Moreover, some partners offer the added value of training an internal staff member so they can later handle improvements themselves.

Lastly, we mustn’t forget about the tool itself. While it’s true that these usually have a fixed price in US dollars and require annual investment, we tend to overlook the fact that they operate 24/7, vastly expanding our productive capacity. When we crunch the numbers, it often becomes clear that automation delivers greater capacity at a more competitive cost.

From our experience, implementing these solutions also dramatically reduces errors in repetitive tasks that add no value to the organisation and in many cases, the returns can be seen in less than two years.

Therefore, if you or your organisation are thinking that automation is too expensive, Pro Global invites you to rethink that idea and get in touch with us to explore the feasibility of automating an already-identified process, or even to help identify which processes within your organisation could be automated.
