Case Study: University of Melbourne accelerates student grant payments with Automation Anywhere RPA

University of Melbourne speeds emergency grants 3x with Automation Anywhere

The University of Melbourne faced the challenge of rapidly processing a surge in emergency financial aid applications for students during the COVID-19 pandemic. They partnered with Automation Anywhere to implement a robotic process automation (RPA) solution to expedite these grants.

Automation Anywhere's solution leveraged the university's existing modular RPA features, allowing a new bot to be built and deployed in just two days. This automation validated student banking details, reduced errors, and increased payment frequency from every two weeks to three times a week. The results were significant, with over 4,000 grants approved and 4,500 hours of processing time saved, ensuring students received critical aid much faster.
