Case Study: Top Financial Service Company achieves $1.5M projected cost savings with Automation Anywhere

Top Financial Service Company's Botathon Challenge Results in RPA Ideas that could Save $1.5M

As one of the world’s fastest payment-processing networks, the company launched an annual Automation Challenge to accelerate AI and scale Robotic Process Automation (RPA) across its global workforce. Faced with a CEO mandate to drive AI and the need to engage employees across three continents without the cost and logistics of multi‑day events, they partnered with Automation Anywhere to find a scalable, low‑touch way to surface practical automation ideas.

Automation Anywhere ran a 75‑day “office hours” botathon, issued 1,500 Bot Creator licenses and introduced RPA to 1,200+ employees worldwide, driving a tenfold increase in logins and broad participation from Operations, Technology, Finance, Data Services and Cyber Intelligence. Of 105+ ideas submitted, more than two‑thirds are workable—projecting $1.5M in cost savings and about 28,000 prospective hours saved—while accelerating enterprise RPA adoption, upskilling and governance.
