RPA, Robotic Process Automation, is attracting interest as a practical method of coping with decreases in the working population and of carrying out work-style reforms. It is rapidly being adopted by companies of all sizes across industries. Having formed specialized departments have completed proof-of-concept (PoC), the most advanced larger companies are now moving to put RPA into full-fledged operation. When RPA is implemented with business processes that span multiple departments or involve the handling of a range of personal and other information, it becomes necessary to ensure more robust security than ever. More sophisticated solutions of the kind that can support automation of large-scale complex processes also become essential.

This combination will enable ABeam Consulting to better meet the needs of companies that wish to implement RPA on a large scale, and to implement processes in a more secure environment.

Services include help with the formulation of governance rules, as well as insourcing the development, construction of internal control functions.
