6 cognitive automation use cases in the enterprise

Accounting departments can also benefit from the use of cognitive automation, said Kapil Kalokhe, senior director of business advisory services at Saggezza, a global IT consultancy. For example, accounts payable teams can automate the invoicing process By enabling the software bot to handle this common manual task, the accounting team can spend more time analyzing vendor payments and possibly identifying areas to improve the company’s cash flow.

Not every manual, repetitive process is able to be automated. The software bot follows specific rules and logic.

“If a process includes variables, such as subjective decisions, it may pose challenges to successful automation,” Kalokhe said.
