Automation AI
Automating increasingly complex processes drives speed and efficiency.
Tata Sky partnered with EY for their expertise in processes automation. EY helped Tata Sky select Automation Anywhere RPA and helped them determine which processes would be the best to automate, providing the greatest return on investment. Tata Sky began automating processes within its finance, supply chain, and treasury departments before moving to more complex processes within its taxation and tax-related reconciliation teams.

Bots implemented
Achieving 98% transaction accuracy by transforming with intelligent automation.
RPA was a perfect addition to Tata Sky’s transformational strategy roadmap. And while there were some initial concerns about the limitation of software bots, the company quickly discovered that automating even the smallest of processes helped free up a lot of employee time to engage better within the company and with partners. A lot of routine activities were automated, helping transaction accuracy improve to around 98%, as exceptions were ironed out in user flow.
Another example where bots provided a great benefit was around the goods service tax, or GST, which is implemented on air travel when one flies from one city to another in India. The GST component presented a challenge for a large organization like Tata Sky, where a large number of employees were frequently flying across the country. Processing GST credits manually was tedious and time consuming. Now, thanks to RPA, a bot would read and capture each airline ticket directly from a travel agency system, uploading it into Tata Sky’s accounting system, helping to utilize the GST credit much more effectively.

We were surprised to see the unique opportunities RPA had to offer. With its capabilities to perform non-stop, bots were perfect for areas in MIS, reporting, and also mid-office activities of treasury.
