Millennium IT ESP wins RPA Hackathon 2019 Award

— Receives the Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Hackathon award for winning

Case Study under the SME Category —

Millennium IT ESP – one of Sri Lanka’s leading Systems Integrator and Information Systems Provider – recently won the Virtual RPA Hackathon 2019 award for their submission of Case Study under the SME category, at an event organized by the Sri Lanka Association of Software and Services Companies (SLASSCOM).

The SLASSCOM Virtual RPA Hackathon 2019 was the first-ever virtual hackathon on Robotics Process Automation (RPA) held in Sri Lanka with the event taking place earlier this year at the Galle Face Hotel, Colombo. Submissions of any solutions, designs, processes, products, services or client deliveries that involved RPA was received as a key catalyst in deriving anticipated case study outcomes for the Hackathon on RPA usage and aligning with desired case study results of process efficiency, timely client deliveries, increased quality and cost savings. The submitted case studies were then screened by a panel of expert industry judges across three main categories which included Individual, SME and Large Enterprises.

Millennium IT ESP submitted a case study on an ‘Artwork Download Solution’ project the company had undertaken as part of a POC (Proof of Concept) implementation for a client. The said client’s Printing Department used to receive 30-40 artwork designs related to various orders every day. The core business area of the client depended on the shared artworks and any delay, mismatch or miss out meant losing business. As such, it was vital to find a reliable RPA solution that avoided human errors and could standardize the artwork download process. Millennium IT ESP were able to recognize the importance of an RPA solution in addressing the major challenges faced by the client and envisage the increase in productivity and efficiencies that was to be gained when optimizing the client’s current process through the implementation in hand. The proposed RPA solution, Dbot: Download, Process, Report, was designed to automate large file downloads for enterprises and it was recognized as the winning case study of Virtual RPA Hackathon 2019.

“While congratulating my talented team for winning I’m pleased to see a collective interest in process automation using software bots in Sri Lanka. Our thanks go to SLASSCOM for organizing the Hackathon,” said Millennium IT ESP’s Chief Technology and Solutions Officer Shanaka Rabel. “Millennium IT ESP’s approach to RPA is to enhance the productivity and efficiency of the candidate processes while providing a 24×7 working bot (or bots) with consistent accuracy. We believe that the human brain should be utilized for cognitive and intelligent problem solving while the work of “hands” can be moved to software bots – allowing the human plus virtual combination to enrich business outcomes,” Mr. Rabel further added.
