From Legacy RPA to Intelligent Automation: Achieving $600K in Annual Savings

A leading financial institution in the Middle East sought to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the high costs associated with its legacy automation platforms (Blue Prism and Automation Edge). They sought to migrate Microsoft Power Automate to achieve seamless integration with Microsoft’s digital ecosystem, improve process performance, and build a scalable automation framework for future growth.

Client Overview

The client is a premier financial institution in the Middle East, well-regarded for its focus on digital-first strategies and customer-centric services. With rapid growth and an evolving regulatory environment, the organization sought to modernize its automation framework to better align with its cloud-first and Microsoft-driven digital transformation roadmap.

Challenges

The client faced several operational bottlenecks with their existing automation platforms:

• High Licensing & Maintenance Costs: The legacy platforms incurred significant licensing and support costs that limited ROI.
• Limited Integration Capabilities: Lack of seamless integration with Microsoft tools such as Office 365 and Azure created data silos and slowed automation initiatives.
• Performance & Reliability Issues: Automated processes suffered from inconsistent performance and higher-than-acceptable defect rates.
• Scalability Concerns: With increasing workloads, the existing automation setup could not scale efficiently to support long-term business growth.

The migration strategy was executed in four well-defined phases:

• Assessment Phase

• Planning Phase

• Implementation Phase

• Optimization & Hypercare Phase
