EOX Vantage, a leading technology solutions provider, has been using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) long before it became a popular tech term. In the past, EOX Vantage developed process automation scripts using testing tools such as IBM® Rational® Robot and Selenium. Even though at that time they were not considered "process" automation tools, the fundamentals have remained the same. They can mimic human keystrokes and perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on documents, which is not much different than what the current RPA tools can execute.

EOX Vantage uses RPA to complete activities such as moving data from one website to another, reading files such as emails, PDFs and spreadsheets, and inputting data into applications, databases, documents and websites.

 

With over ten years of experience, EOX Vantage has improved upon Robotic Process Automation applications. By integrating an industry-leading PDF extractor and an RPA tool with their dynamic Enterprise Operating System, EOX Vantage provides the best solution for your business to gain the visibility, control and operational intelligence needed to maximize operational efficiency.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, “Process automation works best with other productivity techniques. At PWC, we estimate that an integrated approach of process automation with process optimization and operating model changes delivers up to twice as many benefits as process automation alone. For example, standardizing an organisation’s timesheet management process allowed work to be automated with about 50% fewer new robots. Also, people are rarely 100% eliminated from a process so approaches for team-based operational excellence can add value as well.”

Advantages of Combining RPA and the Enterprise Operating System

  • All document data is processed, extracted and stored securely on the Enterprise Operating System platform, accessible from any device.
  • The Enterprise Operating System is integrated with industry-leading visualization tools. Since all data goes through the platform, there are no additional steps needed to import/export data to and from other systems, providing analytics and visualization.
  • The Enterprise Operating System has built-in workflow management, form engine and alert mechanism. While extracting data, if it reaches a specified threshold, a task is automatically created in the system and an alert message is sent.
  • All data is centrally-processed through the platform and sent to the RPA tool in a common format. This helps reduce script development time and provides a common input format; no more trial and error or using different input formats for different scripts.
  • The platform has built-in integration with industry-leading application APIs to send data directly from it to those applications without any user interface scripts. This ensures better data integrity and consistency.

With our experience combined with the powerful Enterprise Operating System platform, EOX Vantage's RPA solution typically saves clients 50% to 70% or more on time and resources to perform a task.
