Automating drives dramatic time savings across finance processes.

Initially, there was some employee resistance to implementing RPA, but then one small bot accurately processed the manual, repetitive process of printing ARIBA reports, a suite of web-based statements such as orders and tracked invoices, for the Finance department. This helped save 720 hours and employees were totally convinced.

To help reduce workload, one of the first processes automated was for NSG’s active directory. The Windows tool was used to create online accounts, logins and User IDs for new employees. Manually, this process took an hour for each new user. With automation this has been reduced to just 15 minutes, saving the company 1,500 hours annually. Because of operational limitations, the process still required some human input, but the automation demonstrated how well bots can collaborate with employees on complex processes. With further improvements, the process is expected to take just one minute.
