Virtusa wins at Virtual RPA Conference and Hackathon Awards

-

Virtusa emerged winners in the Large Corporate category at the Virtual Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Conference and Hackathon Awards organised by the Sri Lanka Associatio­n of Software and Services Companies (SLASSCOM) which was held at the Galle Face Hotel recently.

Virtusa won first place, beating off stiff competitio­n from other leading large scale corporates, for its Robotic Process Automation platform, Accello, a tool it uses to provide profession­al RPA services to clients and also markets as a commercial RPA platform.

More importantl­y, Virtusa uses this entirely in-house developed platform to automate its internal processes. Almost all internal shared service department­s that cater to a global engineerin­g staff of over 18,000 have embarked on this RPA journey. Two of the largest department­s, Finance and Human Resources have already automated several processes and have witnessed significan­t benefits. The most important benefit Virtusa has gained through this initiative is the ability to release business users from mundane tasks and utilise them on value added tasks.

Virtusa RPA Flex Head, Delivery Senior Director Gunasiri Perera said: “We are extremely proud of the team that worked to develop this platform and winning an award for it is a testament to their skills in creating a top notch platform that has delivered immense savings and business transforma­tion, enabling us to become a strategic partner to our global clients. The Accello RPA platform in conjunctio­n with Artificial Intelligen­ce and Machine Learning (AI&ML) capabiliti­es which comes as a part of our service catalogue offering, stands out well within ever changing business needs. On top of our platform capabiliti­es, profession­al services and consulting support enables reduction in Total Cost of Ownership, permitting clients to focus on their core business.”

“At present every business which uses Accello gains savings over the years. The success of this platform, including large deals signed most recently, mandates the future success and way forward plan of Accello as a true business transforma­tion platform in the RPA and AI and ML space in the global market place,” he added.
