Abstract As organizations continue to cater to global clients and geographies, they face multiple challenges such as rising costs, reduced quality standards, complex and ever-changing compliance requirements, and talent management. Organizations are looking at new-age technologies to handle these challenges and achieve best-in-class outcomes. That is where we make a difference with our Robotics Process Automation (RPA) delivery framework. The framework enables organizations to create a fast, accurate, cost-effective, and round-the-clock virtual workforce for various operations—achieving operational excellence.
RPA is the application of technology (software robot) to interpret existing applications for processing transactions, triggering responses, and interacting with other digital systems.
RPA takes automation to the next level by offering unassisted automation that handles rule-based and repetitive tasks without human intervention, making them less prone to errors and freeing up resources for more complex tasks. What distinguishes this technology from traditional automation is its non-intrusive nature and the speed at which the robots can be configured.
RPA can be effectively used by teams and individuals who:
RPA virtually integrates multiple systems while executing repetitive work more accurately and reliably than humans can. This allows skilled resources to concentrate on more strategic tasks rather than on repetitive mundane work.
RPA offers a number of compelling benefits to the workplace, including:
Based on Coforge’ RPA implementation experience, we believe the RPA industry is rapidly moving away from an ‘isolated robot deployment’ mode to a ‘shared services CoE’ mode, wherein client expectations are focused on the overall large scale value rather than number of individual robots being deployed. Coforge, as a technology integrator, is well placed to go beyond simply building robots as a vendor to becoming a full-fledged RPA partner. Coforge has come up with an end-to-end RPA engagement framework named TESSSM which addresses all the aspects of Transformation, Enablement, Standardization, and Scale for enterprises embarking on their holistic RPA journey.
Transform: Our consultative led approach to transforming processes helps clients achieve leaner and more efficient workflows while also gauging candidates for RPA implementation.
Enable: Our RPA implementation outlook encompasses the entire RPA lifecycle right from the design and configuration of robots to the efficient management of digital workforce once deployment is complete.
Standardize: Our partnership model extends beyond simple RPA deployments, helping clients baseline their RPA benefits and standardize their digital workforce through the creation of a RPA Centre of Excellence
Scale: TESSSM also helps the client scale up the TESS transformation across the organization through cross functional adoptions, trainings, and mainstream integration.
Essentially, TESSSM is Coforge’ Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) offering.
Media: Ad Order Entry
Process Snapshot
The process involves creation, change, and cancellation of Ad-order tickets from various locations. It is a repetitive task with turnaround time (TAT) of a single day. With inflow of tickets throughout the day, the team needed to provide extended services from 8.00 am EST to 7.00 pm EST to meet deadlines.

BFSI: Electronic Fund Transfer
Process Snapshot
The process involves changing bank information or scheduled payment date/amount for life insurance premium payments. These requests were received either on form or over the phone. The client had four admin systems where these updates were made.
