Here at Lanshore and among our early adopter RPA customers, none of this is a surprise. We’ve known for a long time that RPA would be a gamechanger across many sectors and we’ve been preparing for the onslaught of demand.
Over the past year we’ve been ramping up our RPA knowledge and practise and focusing on transformation programmes that include RPA. Our clients are seeing the value of adopting RPA within a managed services environment, leaving us to do the heavy lifting when it comes to identifying RPA opportunities and putting the technology in place rapidly and accessibly, with full ongoing support.
Our Robotics Operations Center in Costa Rica is our center of excellence for RPA innovation and best practise. As a result of this investment, our highly skilled, specialist team has deep expertise in this relatively new technology. We’ve developed sector competencies for high demand functional RPA areas, including HR and Compensation and Energy company processing.
We’re glad to be ahead of the game and helping our clients to gain ROI and competitive advantage from real-world applications of RPA right now, doing everything that Gartner predicted. Uncanny, huh?
