Pillar 10 / 9 services

AI Integration and Process Automation

Putting AI where the work actually happens — inside your processes, your platforms and your inboxes. Nine engagements, each measured on how many cases complete without a person rather than on how many steps were automated.

Why this pillar exists

The benefit lives in the exceptions.

Rule-based automation already handles the cases that were easy, which is why the remaining work is the hard part: the invoice in an unfamiliar layout, the email that could be three different things, the record that almost matches. Those cases are where the cost sits, and they are the only reason to add AI to a process at all.

So every engagement here starts by measuring the process as it runs rather than as it was documented, designs the exception path before the automated one, and reports straight-through rate rather than steps automated. Where measurement shows a step exists because of a system limitation removed years ago, we say to delete it — removing a step is cheaper and more reliable than automating it.

The 9 services

What we build

Each is a standalone engagement with its own scope, price and output. Most clients use two or three in sequence.

10 to 18 weeks

Intelligent Process Automation

Automation for processes that need judgement, measured on straight-through rate with exceptions designed in from the start.

8 to 14 weeks

AI Integration into CRM, ERP and HRMS

AI inside the systems people already use, respecting the permission model and surviving vendor upgrades.

Read more →
6 to 12 weeks

Business Workflow Automation

Cross-system orchestration with retries, idempotency and visibility, so nothing stalls unnoticed.

Read more →
8 to 14 weeks

Document Workflow Automation

Intake, classification, extraction, validation and filing as one flow, measured on straight-through rate.

Read more →
8 to 16 weeks

RPA Modernisation with AI

An honest robot-by-robot audit: retire, re-platform onto APIs, or extend with AI where judgement is needed.

Read more →
6 to 12 weeks

AI API and Middleware Development

A versioned, authenticated, rate-limited service layer so many applications can consume AI safely and cheaply.

Read more →
12 to 24 weeks

Legacy System Modernisation with AI

AI-assisted comprehension, rule extraction and test generation, with every finding verified before it is trusted.

Read more →
8 to 14 weeks

Internal Knowledge Management AI

Answers across your internal systems with source, date and permissions respected — and stale content actively removed.

Read more →
6 to 10 weeks

AI Email and Inbox Automation

Classification, routing, extraction and drafted replies for shared inboxes, with a person approving what matters.

Typical sequence

How they fit together

You do not need all twelve. Most programmes follow one of these paths depending on where the uncertainty sits.

    A

    Automate a process end to end

    Intelligent process automation where judgement is the blocker, workflow automation where the process spans systems and runs on email, and document workflow automation from intake to filing.

    B

    Put AI where people already work

    Integration into CRM, ERP and HRMS using supported extension points, internal knowledge AI with permissions enforced at retrieval, and inbox automation that drafts rather than sends.

    C

    Modernise what you already have

    RPA modernisation starting from an audit rather than an assumption, and legacy system modernisation that uses AI for comprehension, never for automated rewriting.

    D

    Make AI a platform capability

    AI middleware and API development, so the second and third teams consume a governed service rather than each integrating with a provider on their own terms.

Questions

FAQ

Marked up with FAQPage schema so these answers can surface in search results and inside AI assistant responses.

What is the difference between RPA and intelligent process automation?

RPA follows fixed rules, usually by driving system interfaces as a person would; it breaks on variation and hands every judgement case back to people. Intelligent process automation adds models that read unstructured input and make uncertain decisions, with confidence thresholds routing the doubtful cases to a reviewer with the reason attached.

How do you measure whether an automation worked?

Straight-through rate — the share of cases that complete without a person — reported by case type, alongside cycle time and cost per case. Steps automated is a vanity metric: a process can have twenty automated steps and still send eighty per cent of cases to a human, which is what the count conceals.

Should we use agents for this instead?

Sometimes, and the distinction matters. The engagements here automate defined processes where the steps are known and the value is reliability at volume. AI agents decide their own sequence of actions, which suits open-ended tasks and costs more in control and oversight. A known process does not need an agent, and giving it one adds unpredictability for nothing.

What happens to the people currently doing this work?

Their work changes shape rather than disappearing — fewer routine cases, more exceptions and judgement. That is a real organisational change and it goes badly when it is sprung on people, so exception handlers are involved in the design from the start. They know the edge cases better than the process documentation does.

Do we own what you build?

You do, in full, on final payment: workflows, integrations, models, prompts, validation rules, tests, runbooks and documentation. Everything is built on supported interfaces so it survives your vendors' upgrades, and handed over so your own team can change it without us.
