As part of the project to
implement business process automation at the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel
Works (MMK), MMK-Informservice has entered into a general partnership
agreement with UiPath, a world leader in producing software platforms
for robotic process automation (RPA).
The partnership will improve the efficiency of MMK's large-scale
project to automate business processes by reducing the cost of the
software used, in addition to allowing MKK to adopt best practices in
the application of RPA technology used by other UiPath partner
companies, including Deloitte, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and others.
In July 2018, MMK-Informservice (part of MMK Group) established the
RPA Expertise and Innovation Centre to coordinate the implementation of
software robotics technology. At present, dozens of software robots are
already successfully functioning at MMK Group. According to
MMK-Informservice Director Vadim Feoktistov, the global experience of
automation through RPA technology shows the high efficiency of this tool
on the path towards the digital transformation of business. This process
lies at the heart of MMK's comprehensive strategic initiative, Industry
4.0.
UiPath is a recognized leader among RPA software robotics solution
providers. The company employs 2,500 employees in 53 offices in 20
countries, including Russia, USA, India, China, Japan, Germany, France
and Britain, to develop the RPA platform.
