Announcements

Today we are excited to share that robotic process automation (RPA) in Microsoft
Power Automate is now built-in with the general availability of Windows 11.

Since first introducing the availability of RPA with Power Automate for desktop
for Windows 10, we have seen thousands of organizations harness the power of
automation in Power Automate. The low-code automation experience in Power
Automate provides a solution for developers and non-developers alike to automate
routine tasks from their Windows desktop, such as reporting, data entry, and
scheduling. Imagine the time you might save by automating daily, repetitive
tasks such as gathering information from the web, generating and emailing
reports, or transferring data between applications.

For example, say you are managing a large monthly invoicing process and would
like to reduce the time spent manually copying and pasting details from Excel to
an older system to compile invoices. With Power Automate, you can automate the
generation of these invoices by connecting to multiple apps and data sources,
such as Excel and your in-house invoicing application, and automate manual tasks
such as mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, and data entry.

This is one example of how automation might work from your Windows desktop, so
keep reading to learn how Power Automate is making automation more accessible in
Windows 11.


STREAMLINE HOW YOU WORK IN A HYBRID WORLD BY AUTOMATING EVERYDAY MUNDANE TASKS

Hybrid work and the demand for more resilient technology is here to stay, and
that means your organization needs digital solutions that are freeing up time
from the most redundant tasks for higher-value work. When you reallocate that
time to strategic initiatives, you improve productivity and at the highest
level.

Organizations from around the world are using Power Automate to provide their
customers, partners, and employees with a robust automation platform that
streamlines how they work. Outlined below are a few examples of how our
customers from multiple industries are already harnessing low-code automation to
simplify workflows.




STREAMLINING LEGAL CASE LOAD MANAGEMENT

Xerox leverages RPA in Power Automate to streamline and automate processes for
their small-to-medium business customers and recently implemented an RPA bot to
help streamline a legal practice’s case load management.

> “Prior to implementing the RPA bot that Xerox built with Power Automate, this
> mid-sized, but growing, family-run legal firm was spending more than 250 hours
> a month manually processing more than 1,500 exhibits as they worked on cases.
> The Xerox unattended RPA bot now handles the entire process end-to-end for the
> customer using Power Automate’s RPA and OCR capabilities and Adobe Acrobat
> Pro’s document conversion technology. By bringing the power of automation to
> this SMB customer using Power Automate, Xerox is enabling the firm to focus on
> higher value tasks and grow their business.” —Stefan Buttner, Xerox Automation
> Leader.




SIMPLIFYING INVOICING, BILLING, AND ORDER MANAGEMENT IN MANUFACTURING

Coca-Cola Bottling Company United used Power Automate RPA to build a Power
Platform system that digitized what used to be a complex manual process for
invoicing, billing, and order management. Partner Happiest Minds created bots to
synchronize data between the company’s SAP customer relationship management
system and Azure SQL. Rather than develop APIs for connections to legacy
systems, Power Automate RPA runs the unattended bots in parallel at a fraction
of the cost, enabling the company to reduce costs and process more orders.




REDUCING COSTS AND IMPROVING ACCURACY FOR BILLING

Along with simplifying the billing process and saving time through automation,
building desktop flows with Power Automate can help save money. Reventics, a
healthcare services firm, uses Power Automate RPA to streamline repetitive
processes like downloading data, scrubbing and merging data sets, and generating
a prioritized queue to hand off to medical coders. Before using Power Automate
RPA, these individual workflows created repetitive work that didn’t require
decision-making, strategy, or other high-value skills—yet they tied up
employees’ time.

> “Faster claims processing, improved data reconciliation, and reduced
> turnaround time have led to increases in employee efficiency and
> better-quality outcomes. Claim status, balance adjustments, and denial
> management through RPA have reduced transaction costs significantly and have
> reduced billing errors to nearly zero.” —Namit Agarwal, Chief Information
> Officer at Reventics.




THREE WAYS TO GET STARTED WITH POWER AUTOMATE IN WINDOWS 11







With this release we have made it easier to start your automation journey in
Windows 11 with access to Power Automate from the Start menu, a new guided
in-product experience to build your first desktop flow, greater admin controls
that are coming soon with Data Loss Prevention for RPA, availability in the
Microsoft store, and more. You can read more about these updates in the deep
dive blog post here.

Outlined below are three ways to start thinking about how to automate and get
started with ease from your Windows desktop.

 1. Launch Power Automate in Windows 11: Power Automate is now built-in from the
    Start menu in Windows. To get started, you can search for “Power Automate”
    in the Windows 11 start menu, click the icon, and log in with a Microsoft
    account or a work or school account.
 2. Read the getting started guide: You can read more about getting started and
    the pre-requisites in the getting started documentation. In this document,
    you can better understand how to get started with a Microsoft account, Work
    or School account, or an Organizational premium account and learn more about
    what is included at no additional cost, and better understand automation
    scenarios.
 3. Build your first automation: Watch and take advantage of the great tutorials
    on Microsoft Learn and follow a series of sessions for Power Automate
    desktop to build a desktop flow and watch this video series on building
    desktop automation in Power Automate.

More and more users are simplifying their workloads with Power Automate every
day. We are excited for this next step in the automation journey and encourage
you to read the Power Automate deep dive blog post, the getting started
documentation, and the Power Automate web page.
