Equantiis

The Challenge

Unlike complex technology projects, Intelligent Automation tools can be implemented quickly, through a digital workforce who take on the manual, repetitive, unenjoyable tasks so that the human workforce are freed up for value-added activities to support and guide students.

In this RPA Process Discovery exercise, Equantiis considered the opportunity for RPA to increase City’s operational efficiency and improve the student experience by identifying manual, repetitive processes which could be replicated by a bot thus enabling City’s human workforce to focus on value-added tasks.
