In the day-to-day operations of a company, there are many processes that often needs the repeated manual work between the computer desktop and the information system.

The development of technology have impacted business processes, from the use of software packages to the enterprise resource planning (ERP), and the development of RPA now allows enterprises to effectively improve business efficiency and employee efficiency with less resources and time.

 

What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?

The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging technology that simulates what computer users often do while sitting in front of their desk. This technology can automate these repetitive tasks without the need of special hardware. With the RPA, businesses will be able to reduce their cost, save time for their customers and automate some part of the day-to-day processes.  

 

The benefits of RPA

Undoubtedly, there are advantages of RPA, it increases the customer satisfaction and the quality of the work, because robots will never do mistakes as human somehow does.   

For example, in the case of repetitive accounting work, large companies usually have 10,000 invoices per month and this requires 6-8 accountants to complete the verification report. However, through RPA, it will be 4 times faster than that of humans, This would allow 6-8 accountants who were previously responsible to do higher-level analysis, and also to reconfigure talent while reducing labor costs.

However, what is needed attention is, these robots will replace human input in the future. We might think that if the robots are doing humans job, the humans will have nothing to do. In fact, the robots are actually doing the jobs that the back officers hates, those huge amount of repetitive tasks spends up 80% of their time everyday and it is lowering their performances and motivation.With the proper support of IT technology, the employees having more time to work on the value-added tasks, business persons can improve their efficiency, and put talents in a better position.

 

How much can I increase the productivity and save the cost thank to the RPA?  

Pwc(PricewaterhouseCoopers) stated that, after setting up the RPA in their accounting and finance department, the RPA technology can reduce their process cost by about 25% to 40%, including manpower, time and money. The technology saves a lot of resources from the aspect of an enterprise. In addition,the RPA robots do not need to rest,they can run at high speed 24 hours a day automatically.

 

Study Case- RPA at Telefonica O2

Being the second largest telecom provider in UK, like other big companies and large organizations, Telefonica O2 has a lot of customers. Which means, they have a large-scale of back-office business processes to handle,therefore, they do need a lot of employees to maintain their daily operations. As of 2018, O2 had 25 million customers  and has over 450 retail stores and sponsors . In 2012, its U.K.’s revenues were $583million , and it employed 10,280 people.

After the implementation of the RPA the outcomes achieved by O2 were satisfied. During April 2015, O2 implemented around 160 RPA software licenses, they process between 400,000 and 500,000 transactions each month, prospecting a three-year return on investment of between 650% and 800%. This implementation did increased their revenue and reduced the back-office headcount by around 20%. As in 2016, their revenues were $1,97 billion,with around 6,600 employees.

In the future, O2 is still planning to continue to automate processes with RPA and hope to increase their RPA volumes to 700,000 per month.

 

Competitors overview

RPA isn’t a new term, it exists in the early 2000s. However, since the technology and researches on RPA is growing rapidly, the RPA technology has powerfully improved and developed during these years than before.

Some top providers in this market:

1. Uipath: It provides solutions for contact centers and back offices supports attended and unattended RPA. Its market coverage is across geographies, client sizes, industry verticals and business processes.
2. Blue Prism: A provider who offers solutions for contact centers and back offices.
3. Automation Anywhere: They provide a a cognitive robotics process automation platform, advance with cognitive bots that learn as they work, and analytics that can change the way you work.
4. Cognizant: It offers cognitive platforms and products, advisory services.

 

Importing the robots

It is very hard to predict the pricing of setting up the RPA. It depends on many aspects of your company,including the area you would like to perform on (reports,finance,invoice processing, etc.),the size and the industry your company belongs to, etc.

When basically importing process robots, companies are usually being separated into two status:

The first is a company that has already carried out preliminary trials and is trying to expand this technology, the second is a preliminary assessment of the possibility of exploring process robots. If your organization belongs to the second situation, it is suggested to start with a pilot project (Pilot/Prototype) to let companies become more familiar with the capabilities of the automate process robots.

 

How might Robotic Process Automation (RPA) evolve in the future?

Even though with the significant growth of the RPA technology during the past two years, the experts are saying that this is still in the early stages. Companies hoped to increase the usage of RPA in their departments. However, before this technology become really common in our workforce , human have to change their role and their minds in this society. People have to treat the robots and communicate with them as if they are human, because after years and years of development, the robots will evolve, it might be hard to even differentiate human and robots.

Marketing Responsible

If you look back for technology news in recent years, you will find out the huge improvement of artificial intelligence (AI), and the gradually intensive utilization in marketing and workflow management. It differs from marketing automation (MA). Artificial intelligence refers to the computer system that can tackle tasks or solve problems by itself. However, in marketing automation, the marketers use software to automate some repetitive marketing work. The integration of AI and MA makes many possibilities for future marketing and sales. In some sentences, AI makes marketing automation smarter and more interactive.

By 2025, the revenue of the AI market worldwide will climb to nearly 60 billion USD (Statista.com); while for the MA market, 7.63 billion USD (Grand View Research, Inc.) They are both large markets with promising potential.

Imagine yourself as a marketing manager for a brand-new start-up, or a company that wants to apply marketing automation solution. What should you know? Where to start?

The goal of this article is providing you the insights that how do you apply automation to marketing work, but also how artificial intelligence plays an essential role in different stages.

Generate Leads and Analysis

It seems fascinating if the whole leads generation process is done automatically, and exploiting MA sounds like a trendy idea. However, according to the research that done by HubSpot, lots of the marketing automation investment ended up failed. Why was that?

Before answer it and explaining how AI helps this process, we need to incorporate the marketing funnel concept, and understand where to apply MA and AI throughout the funnel. We will adopt the D’Haen & Van den Poel’s framework. As we can see, before a prospect become your lead, there are many characteristics that those prospects need to fulfill. Those qualities could be: awareness of needs; degree of urgency; trust in your products/service; willingness to listen and share, etc. (Brooks, 2017, Järvinen & Taiminen, 2016)

Usually, leads generation often refers to as “top of the funnel” (TOFU) activity, and this part of work could be time-consuming and requires advanced analysis skill if your goal is to gain a decent amount of high quality leads. Under this circumstance, many marketers rely on the marketing list that they can purchase from a third party or squeeze from their existing database, then apply marketing automation platform (MAP) for uniformed content sending. However, in the research done by softwareadvice.com, solely employing marketing automation returns mediocre performance regarding leads acquisition (69%) and retention (50%). Lack of in-depth analysis and mature strategy will cause inefficiency of following marketing work and hurting ROI eventually.

Understanding the behaviors of prospects and identify if they are qualified to become leads will need more investment and engagement. That’s why multichannel analysis is essential at this stage, and it can be done with the help of artificial intelligence. With the resources from a different channel, the measurement of potential leads will be more comprehensive and more reliable. Also, it generates higher possibility and higher value in comparison with cold lists.

On the other hand, AI can help decreasing the human inaccuracy throughout the leads acquisition process. For most of the sales representatives and marketers, even though they are fully dedicated to the leads generation work, there is still room for errors that they may target wrong prospects. The combination of multichannel analysis and big data will more likely to provide authentic and systematic insights.

A typical MAP like Marketo provides more TOFU solutions for companies. By utilizing AI, it bolsters the leads generation process from multi-channels. According to the official website of Marketo, they integrate social media, personalized content, SEO and the client’s website to deliver the sophisticated leads.

Another handy solution is Nova.ai. Based on big data analysis, it understands different persona by segmented the prospects in order to create very personalized content for multiple channels: email, SMS, social media. Nova.ai also provide the customized insight research/analytical report for future marketing use. They use the AI to find the best way to comprehend your cold leads and approach them.

Targeted marketing and Nurturing Leads

After analysis, you have the specific segmentation of your leads. For the different group, there will be different strategies for follow-up and nurturing. High-quality work at the previous stage will make this one easier to achieve. Lead nurturing is so vital that most of the marketers recognize it as the most valuable feature for MA (Marketo & Ascend2 “Marketing Automation Strategies for Sustaining Success”, 2015). To successfully achieve nurturing goal, you need to provide relevant content to boost leads’ interest further towards purchasing and give them the responses in a suitable time.

For many B2B marketers, the content created is essential. AI actually makes the marketing more “human” by personalizing the content of marketing campaign: after segmented the prospects, AI will generate the targeted content and information with different preferences and needs. The goal is to create a personalized experience for the leads. The deeper you understand them, the more specific you can provide, the more honest feedback you will get, so that you can optimize the customers’ value in long-term.

Also, the timeliness has been listed on the most important element of the B2B marketers. (Demand Gen Report, 2017 B2B Buyer’s Survey Report) The responding process can be daunting and seems endless if you do it manually. Especially there are many clients and need to take care of different time frame.

AI can help intensively at this part. Apart from content creating, Nova.ai has its own calendar system, it will automatically line up the response sequence, then reminds you to send the messages or let the MAP executes it by itself. The follow-up schedule can also be automatically modified regarding the time when you hear back from the leads. Service provide by conversica.com also allows you to carry on the human-like conversation using AI and ensure that every single lead has been followed up. Both tools can be synchronized with the leads generation platforms like Marketo.

When leads become deals

Now we move to the bottom of the funnel, your MA strategy is succeeded and your leads are decided to purchase. What a great news! However, the funnel doesn’t end by now, if you did an on-point job managing your customers, the funnel will keep working for them.

There is another theory that the sales funnel is not linear but a loop. Paid clients can be repurchasing if the tracking and nurturing works are efficient. So targeted marketing dedicated to the paid clients will help them to remind the image of the brand and continue to stimulate their interest and passion for the company or the service. Finally educated them into a loyal customer who will constantly repurchase.

At this stage, targeting marketing still plays an essential role. And the purchasing history will be a treasure for behavior analysis and content generation. On the other hand, CRM integration will complete the whole transition from marketing to sales. 67% of marketers using the strategy that coupled MAP and CRM, according to The State of Pipeline Marketing Report in 2016. In the research of Järvinen also mentioned the importance to combine CRM when the leads hold the intention for purchase.

Email marketing and MA

Many marketers hold confusion about the difference between marketing automation and email marketing. Indeed, email marketing can be a highly automatic process, and can be a way to practice MA. However, marketing automation in general is more broad than just emailing. As mentioned previously, MA contains leads generation, data tracking, leads nurturing and overall analysis. Email is just one method to fulfill those functions, and email alone is not efficient for the whole MA workflow.

Even though there are shortcomings where marketers only use MA in email marketing, as the most existing form of marketing automation (Ascend2: “Marketing Technology Strategy”), email marketing still retains its power among all the automation approaches. The merging of artificial intelligence has enlightened the marketers to optimize the automatic level of email marketing.

Amazing future for AI and MA

Artificial intelligence makes marketing automation possible, and help marketers working smarter and more efficient. There is still lots of potential for applying AI in MA working flow, only 37% of capability has been developed in marketing work. (State of Marketing Automation Benchmarks for Success, 2017) AI will be more intensively using in the future marketing work and it’s inevitable.

A higher involvement of real, human-like conversation will be the trend for the next generation of marketing AI. Chorus.ai has already launched the solution where AI can record the sales meeting and analyze the content of it. Afterwards, generating the summary, performance measurements and the customer insight analysis. Imagine in the future, a customer will confront with a virtual sales representative and it’s smart enough to understand everything that he or she said and give the correct response, or even complete the deal on behalf of the company.

Marketing automation makes marketers free from the repetitive process, and the artificial intelligence makes these processes more human-like. The combination will be long-lasting and keep developing. That being said, for B2B deals, human involvement is still relevant and critical. AI and MA are smart and can help you to prepare the necessary analysis. However, the best way to understand clients’ needs, is by listening to them, in a real conversation.

With the enforcement date (25th May, 2018) of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) approaching, it’s necessary for all the B2B email marketer carefully reexamining about the data they obtaining their marketing strategies. There are many interpretations about this regulation which have arose countless discussions. This article answered the most common questions that we have received in the months regarding GDPR.

How should the B2B email marketers handle the data that they have for the future marketing campaign?

This question is general, and summarized all the questions the we have received. But before answering that, we need to understand the “data” that involved in the GDPR. The GDPR will mainly provide protection for “personal data”. So what is the “personal data” under GDPR? In GDPR, the term corresponding is this:

“‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person” (Article 4: Definitions )

Then that brings to the question: Is “Professional Emails” “Personal data”?

In GDPR, there are no specific terms that clearly distinguish the professional emails from the other. But according to the term above, the “personal data” defines the identification of one natural person. An email address is unique, and it can indicate to a specific living individual. If you already know the recipient name of this email address, which is in most of the cases for B2B marketing campaign, this email address is “personal data” of this recipient.

That been said, there are for sure, exceptions. For instance, this email address: marketing@getemail.io. There is no obvious direction which individual in GetEmail.io is currently using this email address. In addition, everyone can learn online that getemail.io is not a one-man company. In this case, the email address is not the personal data.

So we have clarified that, the next question is: How should the B2B marketers process “personal data”?

“‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.” (Article 4: Definitions )

The data management rule is strict in GDPR. All the actions regarding processing personal data must under a “lawful basis”.

“processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’)” (Article 5: Principles relating to processing of personal data)

Furthermore, what is the lawful way for B2B marketers to process the personal data? Since sending emails is a mean to process “Personal data” according to GDPR, Do B2B marketers must obtain the permission to send B2B cold emails?

“Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

(a) the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

(b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

(c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

(d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

(e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party.” (Article 6: Lawfulness of processing)

These are the relevant parts from the GDPR documents. Many recipients always claim that the B2B email marketers must not send them cold emails because that action is unsolicited. However, according to the corresponding articles above, the consent is only one of the lawful conditions. As long as the purpose of the email is legitimate.

 

“Legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller.”

 

“The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.” (Recitals 47)

For instance, if a marketer of a consultancy try to reach out to other marketers/researchers for promoting his/her marketing analysis tool, this action is out of legitimate interest, and those recipients might eventually become clients of this consultancy.

However, those kind of direct marketing approach has to provide the recipients a easy way to opt out if they don’t want to receive these emails from now on or not interested in the products/service anymore, even though in the beginning they had given you the permission to send, according to GDPR:

“The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

(a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

(b) the data subject withdraws consent” (Article 17: Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’))

Is GetEmail.io Legal After the enforcement of GDPR?

GetEmail.io process the data in a legitimate intention. The algorithm only searches the data which people publicly shared online, and agreed other party to view. The results of searching are mainly professional emails for B2B use. So resource of the data; process of the data; and the service that we provide to our clients are 100% legal and comply with GDPR.

-Professional emails of a specific prospect is indeed, personal data, and personal data need to be handle under lawful basis according to GDPR;

-Consent is not the seul, nor obligatory condition for processing personal data; You can still send the B2B mails to cold prospects with legal intention;

-GetEmail.io is legal after the enforcement of GDPR.

Hello everyone,

I hope the summer allowed all of you to take some holidays, and take advantage of the sun 🙂 Here, at GetEmail.io, we’re back and working, improving the service, as always.

‘It can be challenging for us to reach out to new client via email, without knowing their address and can spend a lot of time guessing what it could be/searching for it.’

• How did Getemail contribute to improve the quality of your daily tasks/missions ?

‘Yes, this provides an easier way for me to get in touch with potential clients or
candidates.’

• Did Getemail help you reach your objectives (if yes please briefly explain how) ?

‘This saved me a lot of time, instead of searching sites to see if there is a directory,
guessing what emails could be or just not sending emails because I give up–this got me
to potential clients quickly.’

‘We are trying it out and I think it could be very helpful for us.’
