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.
What we did
City put forward several candidate areas for potential automation.
- Finance
- Student Services
- Marketing
- IT Services
Equantiis undertook a Process Discovery exercise to review potential candidate processes for RPA by considering the following:
Whether the process requires judgement or is rules-based
How structured the data is
The maturity of the process
And the frequency and volume
Long lasting results
An assessment of the automation potential, including potential time and cost savings.
