The ISG solution was a phased approach, recognizing the understandably cautious nature of the organization, and the complexity of their environment. Phase 1 was to help the client identify two candidate processes to test the accuracy and efficacy of RPA. To test accuracy, preparation and distribution of fund performance reports was selected, and to test efficacy, the funds visibility process was chosen.
ISG’s team of expert advisors designed the two automations based on the specific objectives for each, being careful to ensure all stakeholders were aligned and committed to the agreed outcomes.
ISG then provided RPA training, support and coaching for the client to drive towards automation self sufficiency.

Learn MoreDoing more with less is the defining characteristic of finance and accounting departments in midsize enterprises, which ISG research defines as organizations with between 100 and 999 workers.

Over the past two decades, advances in information technology have had the greatest incremental impact on midsize enterprises, approaching the ability of large organizations to harness practical, affordable and reliable technology to gain productivity and improve performance, especially in the office of finance. The introduction of artificial intelligence and generative AI will close the gap further.
