PwC + Intelligent Automation

Automating key business processes saving time, costs and creating a more efficient operation in an ever-changing digital world

Intelligent automation

Finding the right balance between mind and machine

Intelligent automation happens when robotic process automation and artificial intelligence come together to transform how you operate. We’ll find the right combination of technologies to match your goals, whether you want to make the most of your people, create a better experience for your customers or lower your costs.

Technologies like robotic process automation, virtual assistants, chatbots and intelligent document processing free your people from routine, repetitive tasks - like opening accounts, processing orders and managing stock. Instead, they can spend time on more valuable work and helping customers. You’ll be able to streamline processes, save time and boost productivity. You’ll stand out from competitors by being easier to deal with. And you’ll understand your customers and opportunities by unlocking insights hidden in your data.

As well as working with our technology partners to make this happen, we’ll get your business completely ready for the change. That could be by adapting your existing technology and back-end systems. Or helping you create a culture that’s receptive to new ways of working. We’ll make sure you have the right balance of mind and machine to fully adopt the technology and get all the benefits.

How we can help


Setting your vision and strategy

The clearer you are about what you want to get out of intelligent automation, the wiser your investment. We’ll work with you to define the strategy and goals behind it, and make the business case. We’ll analyse how your industry is capitalising on the technology and break down costs, benefits and what returns you’ll see over two to three years.

We’ll also set out which vendors and technologies will best match your needs and objectives, and handle contracts and negotiations if you want us to.


Turning vision to reality

We’ll plan the order of your automation projects across the business, so you realise your aims at scale and start seeing benefits early. And we’ll back all this with support and maintenance.


Building your capability

Whilst we embed intelligent automation into your business, we’ll also help you build your own capability. To do that, we can train everyone from IT to the board to make the technology part of everyone’s work and decision-making.


Managing your risks

Intelligent automation can help you stay in step with regulations and limit risk, for instance by cutting out costly errors and tightening security. But it comes with its own risk and governance requirements. We’ll define what they are for you and make sure your risk and governance teams know what to look out for.


Managing your change

Transforming your technology is never just about the technology. Intelligent automation will transform how you work, and the skills your people will need. We’ll work with you to manage the change, so people embrace the technology and everyone feels the benefit.
