MMK continues robotisation of business processes

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.
