Accenture and Automation Anywhere Collaborate to Deliver Robotic Process Automation
22 June 2016 - 9:57PM
Business Wire
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Automation Anywhere, a global provider
of robotic process automation (RPA), are working together to
deliver enterprise-grade RPA solutions to organizations that
automate business processes, enabling operations to be scaled
faster and more cost-effectively, while increasing performance
accuracy.
As part of the collaboration, Automation Anywhere named
Accenture a key implementation provider for its newly released
cloud-based RPA solution, BotFarm, which provides unprecedented
control over the way thousands of digital bots are created,
deployed, and managed to instantly scale up or down to meet
business process demand. Accenture will integrate Automation
Anywhere’s BotFarm into its business process services within
Accenture Operations to provide additional scalability and
productivity improvements to enable an As-a-Service business
model.
Accenture and Automation Anywhere have worked together since
2014 to drive business value for organizations by automating
business processes in areas such as finance and accounting,
procurement, marketing and network services. For example, Accenture
recently helped a global telecommunications company save more than
$1M USD in annual operating costs by using a solution that
included, among others, Automation Anywhere to automate nearly 60
business processes in areas such as marketing and sales, billing,
service fulfilment and service assurance. This increased
productivity and freed up more than 72,000 man hours per year to
improve customer experience.
“Automation underpins the As-a-Service model, providing the
agility and efficiency needed to transform business operations,”
said Manish Sharma, senior managing director, Global Delivery and
Solution Development for Accenture Operations. “Accenture has a
history of using automation to help our clients capture new
business value and our relationship with Automation Anywhere
compliments our efforts to apply the technology quickly and at
scale.”
“When we began working with Accenture it was clear that they
were extremely savvy to the value RPA delivers,” said Ankur
Kothari, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Automation
Anywhere. “Accenture is best equipped to deploy RPA solutions at
scale that provide measurable results to their clients. As early
adopters of both RPA and BotFarm, they’ve created yet another way
to deliver greater value and better business outcomes.”
