The organization’s experience underscores the importance of addressing both technical and non-technical aspects during RPA deployment to ensure a smoother integration process. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and RPA is transforming processes in South Africa's banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry, resulting in improved service delivery. However, to realize the benefits of these technologies fully, it is essential to address talent shortages and employee concerns. RPA enables organizations to automate routine processes by simulating human actions, which enhances efficiency while maintaining a human-like interaction with computer systems.<br><br><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://photos.acnnewswire.com/ACNNEWSWIREBFSI.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="718"></p> <p><strong>Overview of the event: </strong></p> <p>The 25th BFSI Innovation & Technology Summit will take place on November 20, 2024, in Johannesburg, bringing together over 200 leaders from South Africa’s banking and financial services industry.
