Corporate Vision Issue 9

CORPORATE VISION / Issue 9 2018 41 , 1807CV34 Established in 2000, Etellect Ltd is a technology company at the cutting edge of cloud-based business solutions and application development. In July, Etellect were awarded under Corporate Vision’s esteemed 2018 Corporate Excellence Awards programme, as theMost Innovative in Cloud-Based Solutions for the United Kingdom. On the back of this deserved accolade, we spoke with Greg Lavelle, theManaging Director and Founder of Etellect, to find out how they have capitalised on the booming appeal of cloud technology. Harnessing the Power of your Digital Workforce Across their offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London, Etellect has become one of the world’s leading future-centric technology solutions companies operating within cloud- based development. Specialising in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and digitalisation solution, Etellect represent the inevitable future of business. Ultimately, Etellect are occupied with the pursuit of efficiency. eAutomate® is a means to achieve this dream; as Etellect’s automation engine, it is designed to command and control, in Greg’s words, “a digital workforce assuming full responsibility for the day to day business operations and processes, freeing up human resources to do more creative, and valuable, work.” With clients predominantly in retail, education, service and the membership sector, the preservation of human-based capital is important, as those sectors adapt to the changing nature of their work. At its core, Etellect’s work seems to blend but, as with many things that can be defined as revolutionary, new developments are being made every day and Etellect, above all, prides itself on being at the cutting edge of the sector. Being at the helm of such developments is a rare thing indeed, but it’s a position that Etellect finds themselves in. “As an innovate business, evolution never stops. We are always watching what’s coming over the horizon and look for ways to enhance our existing offering or create new solutions that meet the needs of the market place.” Speaking on the innovative spark that permeates Etellect and its services, Greg dedicates some time to explaining how his company stays ahead of the ever- moving curve; “As one of the early leaders in our field, we strive to drive and share our thoughts on the evolution of robotic process automation. We use a wealth of resources to ensure we stay on top of our game from being a member of IET and IEEE, attending and actively taking part in world class industry events and regularly communicating with our peer network across the world.” “Further, there have been some significant challenges facing our industry over the last few years including Cyber Security and GDPR. Our clients look to us to provide solutions to these challenges, so we endeavour to keep track of legislation and market factors as well as evolving our technology expertise and solutions, to ensure we have the solutions our clients need.” Greg moves on to discuss the future of Etellect, as it looks to expand its services across the UK in the wake of strong interest in their services and the sector as a whole, “Software automation is still in its early growth stage and we are at the cusp of a revolution we believe will change the way businesses operate. Our predictions indicate that RPA will become the only way for businesses to operate in the future and we are excited to be one of the companies leading this revolution. Our aim is to grow our footprint in this sector and work with a wide range of businesses across the UK who see the opportunities process automation can deliver.” “Today’s business needs to put their customers at the forefront of their strategy and ensure both their front and back office operations provide flexibility and 24/7 accessibility, on any device without human intervention. Automation enables them to achieve this.” Finally, speaking on the future of the automation industry, Greg highlights the important role of AI and CA; “The future for RPA is enhanced use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and CA (Cognitive automation). Products and processes will use these technologies to learn and automate better, driving further business improvements and increased efficiencies. Our next project is to create AI and CA solutions that integrate with the eAutomate® engine.” By any metric, Etellect are helping to fundamentally redefine the business landscape. As Corporate Vision’s Most Innovative Cloud-Based Solutions developer, they can be considered paragons in the technology sector, driving a paradigm shift that looks set to form the future of the business world.
