Seven technology companies from across the IA (intelligent automation) sector have unveiled the Intelligent Automation Collective (IAC), a collaboration to create and deploy a “market-leading” end-to-end IA solution.
The founding members of the IAC are AntWorks, Emergence Partners, Enate, KYP.ai, OpenDialog, RPA Supervisor and XpertRule.
Each company provides key elements of an IA solution, but are aiming, that together, they will be able to augment their capabilities into a “compelling” offering that will solve complex enterprise challenges.
The IAC says it will target businesses who have “become increasingly frustrated” with existing ways of procuring and deploying advanced tech solutions, and who have “often been underwhelmed with the results”.
David Poole, chairman of Emergence Partners and lead spokesperson for the IAC, said: “It is a fact that software vendors don’t traditionally play nicely together and leave it to the customer to fix interoperability and deployment challenges.
“We set up the IAC to be different - to harness the power of true collaboration and create something that works for the client and their specific challenges and opportunities.”
He added: “We are not an eye-wateringly expensive integrated platform provider but a group of best-in-class innovators, working together without bias or ego, to deliver pain-free intelligent automation solutions to customers.
“Our unique and transparent contracting model and proprietary end-to-end solution makes procuring, deploying and scaling IA projects faster, cheaper and more effective.”
The IAC will be running a series of free intelligent automation clinics for businesses looking to accelerate or improve their IA journey.
