Case Study: Multi-National Energy Company achieves 30% productivity increase with Avanade's intelligent automation

Multi-national energy company increases productivity 30% with intelligent automation

A multi-national energy company that centralizes its financial operations across a large volume of providers needed precise, auditable and continuously executed treasury processes (procure-to-pay, payment and cash management). To meet strict timing and control requirements, the company engaged Avanade to explore robotics process automation (RPA) to improve execution and reduce manual workload.

Avanade developed a Blue Prism proof of concept that was moved into production to automate repetitive finance tasks, including robotic reconciliation of banking movements and VAT declaration. The RPA rollout delivered reliable processing, cut processing time by more than 30%, increased business productivity for procure-to-pay and made operations significantly more robust.
