Every week, the same batch of spreadsheets is being mailed and reconciled manually. Once it’s done, I have to refresh my pivot tables to generate the correct Excel graphs. It takes at least 2 days to do all this work. This must be something that can be automated!
Business as usual
I need to rely on an expert from the automation or IT team to develop a new solution, which could take weeks or even months! Maybe it’s not even worth the effort?
This means...
Tracking down the right person to help and convincing them to make the request a priority
Explaining the requirements in detail to someone who probably doesn’t understand the work I do
Potentially spending weeks iterating (more if the IT/automation team is busy)
Once the new solution is developed, every time it doesn’t work, it needs to be fixed
The future
With new tools and training, I can solve my own problems and help my colleagues be more successful. I get a lot of time back and I feel like I’m adding more value to my team!
This means...
Exploring different ideas on my own without needing outside help
Completing 80%+ of the development work on my own, even though I cannot code
Reaching out to the IT/ automation team only if I have advanced questions
Being able to quickly create something that really works and share it with my colleagues!
Some tangible examples of what can be transformed and automated
Reconciliations
Link and match reports from different sources and systems like vendor & customer subledgers...
Cost allocation
Allocate overhead costs to business units via predefined rules
Report analytics
Interpret standard/custom reports and extract of relevant insights.
Budget vs Actuals
Compare budget with actuals in the context of cost controlling, accrual posting, etc.
Report Formatting
Structure data into visually attractive and understandable reports (with descriptive information and objective statistics)
Consistency checks
Validate data within reports to ensure correctness of interpretation (formulas, data quality,...)
Any time-consuming data processing task aiming to create insights and report in a structured format might be a perfect case for self service automation
