Case Study: Leading Media and Entertainment Company achieves 80% merger automation and scalable citizen development with Automation Anywhere

Entertainment Giant "Nominates" Automation for "Best Supporting Role" in Merger

A leading media and entertainment company with billions of subscribers merged with two other major firms and needed to consolidate operations quickly. Manual workarounds between new and legacy platforms were causing errors, compliance risk, delays, and wasted money, so the company sought automation to both smooth the merger and proactively optimize enterprise-wide efficiency.

Automation Anywhere deployed a phased, low/no-code program on its cloud-native platform (AWS), targeting high-value HR and finance processes such as invoice handling, order-to-cash, job requisition, and benefits management, and trained 100+ citizen developers to scale solutions across corporate, revenue, production, and studio functions. The effort automated 80% of the merger within the first year, producing faster processing, fewer errors, lower costs, stronger compliance, and a seamless consolidation into a single operating model.
