akaBot Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Solutions

Why Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?

• Savings in labor costs by up to 80% through automation of repetitive tasks.
• Improves quality, eliminating error and risk.
• Improve performance with 7×24 availability and improves turnaround time from hours to minutes or even seconds.

Why akaBot?

akaBot has several key differentiations from highly marketed industry competitors.

akaBot is designed to emulate a user or can interact programmatically through industry API communications

• No need for IT modernizing systems of record from the current implementation. The software is designed to integrate with modern applications or to sit outside the environment and interact exactly like a user including being assigned an account.  In this way, no changes need to be made to any applications, even legacy environments that can no longer support programmatic integration.  Further, the “user” emulation allows for all customer security and traceability that are in place for any other user.

akaBot runs faster and is more competitively priced

• Faster performance. In head-to-head tests, akaBot consistently measures to run faster than the market competition.  Because a Bot serves a dedicated function, the faster it runs, the more volume it can perform.  This translates into requiring fewer Bots for each function and therefore less expensive.
• Lower cost of entry and lower TCO. Due to its ease of implementation, ease in programming, and lower cost of licensing, TCO entry and ongoing operation are less.

Backed by FPT, a $1.5Bn+ global IT Software and Service company.  As software development is FPTs primary business, its commitment to continuous development and integration of akaBot and the akaSuite ensures long-term stability for customers.

The strategic component of akaSuite

• Built-in domain solutions. FPT and its solution partners have experienced many customer use cases in every industry.  This allows for a library of solutions that can be tapped for accelerated implementation and higher implementation success.
• Integrated technologies (e.g., OCR and AI). akaSuite provides a broad and growing set of software solutions.  Each component is continually enhanced to make use of the other components ensuring customers can seamlessly integrate these technological solutions.  But customers are not locked into a closed echo portfolio.   Each solution is also designed to use industry integration standards allowing customers to pick and choose the best solution on the market to integrate for their particular needs.

Supports Managed Service Delivery Model

akaBot includes a complete solution including development, monitoring, and analytical reporting components allowing for end-to-end solution and support.

Why S-Square for akaBot

S-Square is offering akaBot in a managed service delivery model allowing customers to eliminate the risks and unexpected expenses of traditional procurement models.

S-Square is able to build a client-facing this delivery model around akaBot as a result of the:

• Expertise in COTS & Application Administration Services
• Two+ decades of successfully delivering Managed Services
• Expertise in
  • Business Systems Monitoring & Management
  • Cloud Integration
  • Analytics Services

However, if a customer prefers to build an in-house COE, S-Square will work with the customer to initially take responsibility for the entire life cycle and help the customer build in-house expertise and then work to support their desired delivery model.

Most market offerings encourage expensive investment in licensing upfront and then leave customers dealing with the risk of learning and implementing in-house or securing expensive consultants.  This model often results in unsuccessful implementations, overspending/incurring unexpected expenses, and failure to realize ROI projections. In contrast, S-Square’s process ensures you know the RIO for each implementation before investing.

Traditional software competitors outline a general ROI to convince customers to make significant license investments upfront.  Then the client is left to decide if they want to incur the learning curve for implementing RPA solutions using the license investment or if they want to further invest in consultants to build RPA solutions.  This still leaves the client-facing decisions for the maintenance and operation of the coded solution.

S-Square ensures customers have a known ROI for each proposed business use case before authorizing.  We then proceed to implement and support each approved use case against a committed statement of work.  This ensures customers do not experience surprises throughout the process.

S-Square’s Managed Service Approach:

• Identify a business issue for automation
• Gather understanding
• Develop/present use case solution including ROI for authorization
• Implement approved use case
• Monitor/normalize in production
