Key Findings & Highlights:
FIS has provided process automation services to banks since 2010. Process automation services were provided to clients as support for FIS’ solutions. Today, FIS’ intelligent automation services support:
- FIS products: 90%
- Non-FIS products: 10%
FIS focuses its intelligent automation services on automating industry-specific processes. FIS made its first deployment of RPA in a bank’s operations by deploying Blue Prism BOTS for a client with licenses for the BOTS but limited technical work staff. To build its RPA business, FIS has built partner relationships with the primary RPA vendors. FIS’s focus initially was providing labor for clients looking to automate processes. Over time FIS added reseller arrangements and consulting services to its RPA capabilities.
Two years ago, FIS decided to create its offering with a solution to provide orchestration and intelligence capabilities for BOTS. In February 2020, FIS launched its EPIC platform (see Delivery for description). The initial client was a large bank with large credit card operations and many operations silos. The client needed to be able to see and manage digital processes across silos and heterogeneous technology.
