Cybiant’s Intelligent Automation Proof of Concept (PoC) is a focused, short-term engagement designed to validate the feasibility, value, and technical approach for automating a specific business process. The PoC serves as a low-risk entry point for organizations exploring intelligent automation technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML). Through a guided implementation of one or two high-potential use cases, Cybiant demonstrates what intelligent automation can achieve – backed by real data, tangible results, and measurable ROI.

Many organizations recognize the potential of intelligent automation but hesitate to commit significant time or investment without first proving its value. A PoC helps remove uncertainty by answering key questions: Can this process be automated? Will it work in our environment? Is the return on investment worth pursuing? By running a controlled pilot with expert support, organizations can build internal confidence, test technologies in their unique IT landscape, and validate the impact before scaling.

The Intelligent Automation PoC is ideal for:

• Evaluating new automation technologies (e.g. UiPath, Power Automate, AI-based document processing).
• Building internal stakeholder support for broader automation initiatives.
• Validating integration with legacy systems, APIs, and third-party platforms.
• Demonstrating time and cost savings with real operational data.
• Establishing foundational assets for a future Automation CoE or broader rollout.

Cybiant delivers each PoC through a structured, agile approach—ensuring speed, quality, and stakeholder engagement. Drawing on our extensive automation experience and our own operational CoE, we help clients identify a strong use case, rapidly develop and deploy the solution, and assess performance and impact in a real-world environment.

Our PoCs are typically completed within 4–6 weeks, depending on process complexity and system access.

1. Use Case Selection and Scoping

• Facilitate a discovery session to identify automation candidates (or build on a process selected during a Discovery Workshop).
• Assess feasibility, complexity, and business impact.
• Define PoC goals, success criteria, and evaluation metrics.

2. Solution Design and Development

• Develop the automation workflow using best practices and platform-aligned standards (e.g. UiPath REFramework).
• Integrate with systems, applications, or AI models as needed (e.g., OCR, chatbots, NLP).
• Validate logic, rules, and exception handling through iterative testing.

3. PoC Execution and Testing

• Deploy the PoC in a controlled test environment or limited production scenario.
• Monitor results against baseline metrics (time saved, accuracy, compliance, etc.).
• Capture technical and functional feedback from process owners and users.

4. Evaluation and Recommendation

• Present a performance dashboard showing business benefits and lessons learned.
• Provide a go/no-go recommendation for scaling the use case.
• Outline next steps toward enterprise rollout, CoE setup, or platform selection.

Cybiant’s Intelligent Automation PoC delivers more than just a functioning bot—it delivers evidence. At the conclusion of the engagement, your team will have a working automation prototype, clarity on value, and a roadmap to scale.

Key deliverables include:

1. Automated Process Prototype: A working solution for one process use case, developed using RPA or intelligent automation tools.
2. Process Documentation and Technical Design: Detailed documentation including process flowcharts, solution design, business rules, and exception paths.
3. PoC Performance Report: Measurement of key outcomes: effort saved, accuracy improvement, cycle time reduction, and ROI estimates.
4. Feasibility and Scalability Assessment: Evaluation of long-term automation potential and integration readiness.
5. Scale-Up Recommendations: Clear next steps, whether toward productionization, further development, or integration into a broader automation roadmap.
