We wanted to take a moment this week and gear up for International Women’s Day, which takes place this Saturday, March 8th. Each year on this day since 1911, women are celebrated for their contributions across various industries. While we work to recognize all women every day, this one is special, so we wanted to make it a week’s long celebration! We reached out to few of our MVPs to hear what being a woman in automation means to them. What does it mean to you to be a woman in the technology industry, particularly in automation? “Being a woman in automation means, we’re shaping the future of technology, bringing innovation and likely inspiring others along the way.” -Navya Gunasekaran, RPA Tech Lead at Wipro, @NavyaG “Women are a beacon of confidence and owning who they are – unapologetically. There is an amazing quote by Bella Abzug that says, ‘The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes.’” -Rasika Sangole, Automation Developer, @
Problem Statement In the utilities industry, the Meter-to-Cash (M2C) process involves several steps, including meter data collection, validation, billing, and customer communication. This process is essential for accurate billing and revenue management. However, the traditional approach relied heavily on manual tasks such as data extraction from multiple systems, identifying exceptions, generating usage reports, and personalizing customer communications. Challenges included: Frequent billing errors due to manual data validation Inconsistent anomaly detection, resulting in revenue leakage or incorrect charges Lack of personalized energy consumption insights for customers Increased operational costs and time-consuming exception handling Solution Overview To streamline the Meter-to-Cash process, we implemented an end-to-end intelligent automation solution using Automation Anywhere and Google Cloud Vertex AI. The solution integrates with smart meter systems to automate data collection, val

Problem Statement The current expense reporting process is manual and time-consuming, leading to several challenges: High likelihood of errors: Manual entry increases the risk of mistakes in logging expenses and attaching receipts. Inefficiency: Employees spend a significant amount of time on administrative tasks, reducing their productivity. Lack of real-time data: The manual process delays data availability, hindering timely financial decision-making. These issues impact the overall efficiency and accuracy of our expense management, leading to potential financial discrepancies and employee dissatisfaction Solution Overview To address these challenges, I propose the implementation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA & DA ) for expense reporting. This solution will: Automate logging of expenses and attachment of receipts: RPA will handle these tasks, reducing the burden on employees. Enhance accuracy: Automation minimizes manual entry errors, ensuring more accurate expense records. Save
Problem Statement In the healthcare sector, timely and accurate reporting of patient safety data to high-level leadership is crucial. However, the manual process of extracting information from emails, creating pivot tables, generating charts, and then summarizing the data for leadership was time-consuming and error-prone. This led to delays in providing actionable insights, impacting decision-making at the leadership level. Solution Overview To address these challenges, we developed an automated solution leveraging Automation Anywhere and Generative AI. The bot integrates with Outlook to automatically read incoming emails, extracts the relevant patient safety data, and then creates Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts in Excel. Once the charts are generated, they are saved as images and sent to Azure OpenAI to request a summary of the visual data for leadership review. Implementation Considerations Outlook Email Integration: The bot connects to Microsoft Outlook to read incoming patient safet
