As an organization, the intent was to leverage the RPA software to repurpose employees from routine, repetitive work that better uses their intelligence and talent.  The client had a successful experience during the proof of concept with ISG and wanted to leverage its deep automation experience to support this next phase of their RPA program implementation, including launching the COE.
