Accenture and Automation Anywhere Collaborate to Deliver Robotic Process Automation
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Automation Anywhere, a global provider of robotic process automation (RPA), are working together to deliver enterprise-grade RPA solutions to organizations that automate business processes, enabling operations to be scaled faster and more cost-effectively, while increasing performance accuracy.
NEW YORK AND SAN JOSE, CA; June 22, 2016 - Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Automation Anywhere, a global provider of robotic process automation (RPA), are working together to deliver enterprise-grade RPA solutions to organizations that automate business processes, enabling operations to be scaled faster and more cost-effectively, while increasing performance accuracy.
As part of the collaboration, Automation Anywhere named Accenture a key implementation provider for its newly released cloud-based RPA solution, BotFarm, which provides unprecedented control over the way thousands of digital bots are created, deployed, and managed to instantly scale up or down to meet business process demand. Accenture will integrate Automation Anywheres BotFarm into its business process services within Accenture Operations to provide additional scalability and productivity improvements to enable an As-a-Service business model.
Accenture and Automation Anywhere have worked together since 2014 to drive business value for organizations by automating business processes in areas such as finance and accounting, procurement, marketing and network services. For example, Accenture recently helped a global telecommunications company save more than $1M USD in annual operating costs by using a solution that included, among others, Automation Anywhere to automate nearly 60 business processes in areas such as marketing and sales, billing, service fulfilment and service assurance. This increased productivity and freed up more than 72,000 man hours per year to improve customer experience.
"Automation underpins the As-a-Service model, providing the agility and efficiency needed to transform business operations," said Manish Sharma, senior managing director, Global Delivery and Solution Development for Accenture Operations. "Accenture has a history of using automation to help our clients capture new business value and our relationship with Automation Anywhere compliments our efforts to apply the technology quickly and at scale."
"When we began working with Accenture it was clear that they were extremely savvy to the value RPA delivers" said Ankur Kothari, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Automation Anywhere. "Accenture is best equipped to deploy RPA solutions at scale that provide measurable results to their clients. As early adopters of both RPA and BotFarm, theyve created yet another way to deliver greater value and better business outcomes."

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
