Hello everyone,

When we talk about digital transformation, many people immediately think of big, expensive projects that take years and turn everything upside down. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Robotic process automation – RPA for short – is a real game changer that is often underestimated. With RPA, you can start pragmatically, achieve quick successes and still work strategically in the long term. Today I would like to show you why RPA is an important building block of digital transformation – and how you can use it cleverly.

Why RPA? And why now?

Let’s be honest: digital transformation is a feat of strength for many companies. Old systems, established structures and limited budgets make it difficult to rebuild everything at once. This is exactly where RPA comes into play.

RPA is like a digital employee who automates routine tasks – without you having to replace the entire IT infrastructure. You can simply continue to use existing systems while the bots move data from A to B, fill out forms or create reports, for example.

Why is this particularly relevant in 2025? Because requirements are growing faster and faster. Markets are changing, customers expect immediate responses and costs still need to remain low. RPA helps you to achieve precisely this balance.

How RPA makes companies more agile

Here’s an example from everyday life:

You work in customer service and have hundreds of inquiries every day that have to be processed manually. Each request takes 10 minutes and your team can barely keep up.

This is how it works with RPA:

  • A bot reads the incoming requests, sorts them by category and prioritizes them.
  • If standard answers are possible (e.g. “Where is my parcel?”), the bot takes care of this itself.
  • More complex cases are forwarded to the right employees – with all the information they need.

The result? Response times are reduced, customers are happier and your team can concentrate on the tricky cases.

Cost efficiency through RPA

In addition to agility, the issue of costs naturally also plays a major role. And RPA also cuts a fine figure here:

  1. Fewer errors: bots work precisely and don’t make careless mistakes. This saves time and money for corrections.
  2. Scalability: If the order volume grows, you can simply add more bots – without additional personnel costs.
  3. More focus: Your team can focus on strategic tasks instead of monotonous activities.

How to think big with RPA – strategies for scaling up

RPA doesn’t just work in small pilot projects. With the right strategy, you can roll out automation at company level. Here are a few tips:

  1. Clear plan: Before you start, define clear goals. Which processes do you want to automate and what are the benefits?
  2. Set up governance: Automation needs rules. Who decides which processes are automated? How are risks managed?
  3. Centralize tools: Use a platform that can manage RPA company-wide. This makes it easier to monitor and further develop bots.
  4. Training: Get your teams on board. The more your employees understand how RPA works, the better the collaboration between humans and bots will work.
  5. Take an iterative approach: You don’t have to automate everything at once. Start with a pilot project, gain experience and then scale up step by step.

The future of RPA: not just a trend, but a must-have

In 2025, RPA will no longer be a “nice-to-have”, but an integral part of the digital transformation. Companies that invest in automation at an early stage will secure a real competitive advantage: they will work faster, more flexibly and more cost-efficiently – and have more scope for innovation.
