초록

4차 산업 혁명의 실현이 구체화 되면서 기업 업무환경에 대한 패러다임이 전통적 노동환경에서 디지털 노동환경으로 변화되어가고 있다. 특히 RPA(Robotic Process Automation), 챗봇과 같은 기술들은 단순 반복적인 작업을 자동화하여 인간의 노동량을 감소시키고 인간이 더욱 가치 있는 작업 또는 노동에 집중할 수 있도록 지원한다. 본 논문에서는 퍼블릭 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기반의 경비지출관리 솔루션을 활용하고 있는 기관이나 기업들이 이러한 로봇 프로세스 자동화 기술과 챗봇 기술을 접목하여 경비지출 보고서 관리 업무를 간소화하는 클라우드 모듈을 개발한다. 개발된 모듈은 전문가 평가를 진행하여 80.3%의 만족도를 보였고 용이성 측면에서 가장 높은 94%의 만족도를 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 연구에서는 경비지출관리 업무와 관련된 업무 시스템을 추가로 연계하여 기업 내·외부에서 발행하는 업무를 단일 RPA 환경으로 확장하고자 한다.

As the realization of the 4th industrial revolution is approaching, the paradigm of the corporate work environment is changing to digital, from the traditional work environment. In particular, technologies like RPA(robotic process automation) and chatbot reduce the need for human labor or task by automating simple repetitive tasks, enabling humans to focus on more valuable tasks. In this study, corporates operating expense management services in public cloud computing environments develop a cloud module that simplifies expense report management by grafting robotic process automation and chatbot technology. According to the result of the expert evaluation, the developed system marked 80.3% of satisfaction levels and the highest satisfaction level 94% was confirmed in terms of easy of use. Based on the research result, future research can be suggested to expand the works occurring inside and outside the company to a single RPA environment by additionally linking the work system related to expense management.
