What laws and regulations apply to RPA use?

RPA implementations must comply with various Dutch and European laws, including the AVG/GDPR for privacy protection, cybersecurity legislation, and industry-specific regulations. Compliance requires careful planning of automated processes, adequate documentation, and continuous monitoring of changes in laws and regulations to avoid legal risks. Laws and regulations provide the legal foundation upon which any RPA implementation must be built. Organizations implementing process automation do not operate in a regulatory vacuum but must navigate a complex landscape of privacy laws, cybersecurity requirements and industry-specific compliance requirements. The legal aspects of RPA go beyond just automating processes. It concerns how automated systems handle personal data, how […]

How do you prevent RPA project failure?

RPA project failure is prevented by choosing the right processes, involving all stakeholders and establishing clear success factors. Many RPA projects fail due to poor preparation, unrealistic expectations and lack of commitment from stakeholders. With the right approach and continuous monitoring, you can make your RPA implementation a success. RPA projects fail mainly due to wrong process choice and insufficient preparation. Organizations often choose too complex processes as a starting point, set unrealistic expectations and underestimate the impact of change on employees. The main causes of RPA project failure are poorly defined processes that are not yet standardized. Teams start with processes […]

Can RPA work without cloud infrastructure?

RPA can function perfectly well without cloud infrastructure by using local servers and internal networks. This on-premise deployment provides organizations with full control over their data and processes, while facilitating compliance requirements. Dutch companies in regulated industries are increasingly choosing cloud-free RPA solutions because of increased security and independence from external connections. RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology that deploys software robots to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks without human intervention. Dutch organizations, especially in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare and government, are showing increasing interest in on-premise RPA solutions because of strict compliance requirements and security considerations. The preference for […]

What benefits does RPA offer businesses?

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) offers businesses significant benefits by automating repetitive tasks with software robots. Key benefits include cost savings of up to 80%, increased process accuracy, 24/7 availability, improved employee satisfaction and better compliance. Companies often see measurable results within 3-6 months, with employees able to focus on more valuable tasks while robots take over routine work. RPA stands for Robotic Process Automation – software robots that perform repetitive, rule-based tasks as human employees would. These digital assistants work with existing systems through the user interface, without requiring you to replace costly IT infrastructure. They follow predefined rules to perform tasks […]

How do you measure the success of RPA?

You measure the success of RPA through a combination of hard numbers and soft indicators that together give the complete picture. The key metrics are process efficiency (such as lead time reduction and error reduction), cost savings per process, and employee satisfaction. ROI is calculated by plotting direct cost savings and indirect benefits against implementation costs, with payback periods typically between 6-18 months. Key KPIs for RPA success include process efficiency metrics such as lead time reduction (often 50-80%), error reduction rates, cost savings per process, and employee satisfaction. These indicators give you direct insight into the value automation adds to your organization. When measuring RPA performance, you look at […]

Can RPA help with digital transformation?

Yes, RPA can greatly accelerate your digital transformation. It makes your organization more agile by automating repetitive tasks without having to replace entire systems. RPA acts as a bridge between your existing software and modern digital solutions, allowing you to transform step by step. This article answers key questions about how RPA supports your digital transformation. RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology in which software robots mimic human actions in digital systems. These robots can click, type, copy data and fill out forms just as an employee would. The big difference is that they can do this 24/7 […]

What is intelligent automation versus RPA?

Intelligent automation and RPA (Robotic Process Automation) are both automation technologies, but they differ fundamentally in their capabilities. RPA works with fixed rules and scripts for repetitive tasks, while intelligent automation uses AI and machine learning to make more complex decisions and adapt to changing situations. RPA is perfect for structured processes; intelligent automation excels at unstructured data and exceptions. The main difference lies in the degree of intelligence and adaptability. RPA follows pre-programmed rules for repetitive tasks such as data entry between systems, billing and compliance activities. Intelligent automation goes further by integrating AI technologies that make the system […]

Hospitality is one of my deepest motivations.
Not surprisingly, of course, customer service is a common thread in my career. Aspects of hospitality is being able to connect, to facilitate but mainly to make someone feel genuinely welcome. My intuition is my greatest asset to be able to put myself in the shoes of a guest. A customer is my guest.

Fed by various senses, an image forms around the client. I listen to what is being said, watch facial expressions, taste the underlying tone and get a feel for the challenge to be addressed. An image literally forms on my retina. I have to be able to see it. If I can see it, I can create it.

In this, the trick is to pursue simplicity, give the client a warm feeling that the problem is understood, receive good advice, facilitated and carefully guided to the solution. Trust, connect and unburden.

The feeling when a guest arrives at your hotel after a long tiring journey, can sit in front of the fireplace, be handed a good glass of wine and stare carefree at the fire. My guest knows it will be okay.

How can I help you? That’s pretty much the first question I ask when talking to people who are curious about our services. In such a conversation, the use of senses is very important. Because not everyone is the same. One person thinks in images, while for another words are important or how something feels. For me, sight and hearing are the most beautiful senses, because both eyes and ears absorb information and can convey or process emotions.

Why hearing? Because listening is essential in contact. And it’s the key to unlocking valuable insights.

I developed this skill early on. As a child, I enjoyed radio plays on the radio, bringing the stories to life in my head.

Recognizing and automating patterns. Tasks we are constantly working on when implementing our robots at Pegamento. My 2 Drentsche Patrijshonden are hunting dogs and certainly not robots. The hunting instinct and intuition is basically in their genes. Continuing to offer new forms of training has taught them to recognize and act independently in hunting situations. Even “unsupervised,” even if I’m not around.

But when you try to teach a brain something, it also starts to see things you don’t expect. Dogs pick up on the slightest deviation in your voice or directions. To start recognizing that and correcting it again is perhaps the most complex challenge. But in our work, for the wonderful clients for whom we get to work, it often yields the most beautiful new insights!

Feeling. That’s the best thing Pegamento stands for. Feeling for technology in the broadest sense of the word. Not only feeling for the exciting stuff like AI, but also for the basics of communication.

The very best part of my job is selling, listening, translating and thinking about what really matters. We bring the digital transformation with a great team!
The diversity of our team, how sharp we are, but especially the wonderful things we get to make makes me feel extremely good. Hence, I intuitively chose the sense of “feeling.

Feeling gives life and differentiation!
