We're not tied to a vendor.
Neither should you be.

ARIA and AURA don't care which RPA tool you bought. They run across UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and Power Automate, and they monitor every system, protocol and identity provider your automations touch, including the ones nobody at your company controls.

OVERVIEW

What we support

AutomationCOE was built on one deliberate architectural decision: the agents are platform neutral. ARIA generates documentation from a process recording no matter which RPA tool ends up building the bot. AURA monitors a dependency no matter who owns the system.

That matters because almost nobody has a single-vendor estate. What you have is ten years of accumulated decisions. Several RPA tools, a couple of ERPs, an identity provider halfway through a migration, and a mainframe everyone agrees should be replaced eventually. Every bot you deploy leans on systems you don't fully control.

So the support model is dependency-first rather than vendor-first. If your automation depends on it, AURA watches it. Right now that's 3,000+ automations, across 60+ enterprise clients and 12 industries.

CHALLENGES ADDRESSED

  • Estates fragmented across several RPA vendors with no monitoring layer common to all of them
  • Tools that watch the bot but not the systems the bot depends on, which is where the failure actually starts
  • Vendor lock-in that makes even evaluating consolidation too expensive to bother with
  • No single view of what breaks when a given system goes down
OUR APPROACH

How AutomationCOE Delivers Strategy

Automation COE replaces assumption-based strategy with evidence-driven roadmapping — using ARIA to surface the real picture of your automation opportunity landscape.

Business challenge
ARIA involvement
AURA assurance
Business outcome
STEP 01

Estate discovery

Every RPA platform, enterprise system, interface and identity provider in scope gets inventoried and mapped.

STEP 02

Dependency graph

AURA builds the graph linking each automation to everything it relies on, including systems outside your control.

STEP 03

Integration design

Connection method, authentication path and failure mode, defined system by system.

STEP 04

ARIA platform alignment

ARIA is configured to generate documentation and test artefacts in your platform's native conventions.

STEP 05

AURA instrumentation

Monitoring, thresholds and alerting configured across every registered dependency.

STEP 06

Residency and access

Data residency, access patterns and audit controls set to whatever your regulator actually requires.

CAPABILITIES

Key Capabilities

01

Multi-platform RPA coverage

One COE standard across a mixed estate, without forcing a consolidation that doesn't make commercial sense yet.

  • UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Power Automate
  • Platform-native artefact generation through ARIA
  • Cross-platform monitoring in one AURA view
  • Vendor-neutral migration and consolidation modelling
02

Dependency-aware monitoring

AURA watches what automations depend on, not just the automations themselves.

  • Full dependency graph across the estate
  • Upstream drift and contract change detection
  • Blast radius view for any system outage
  • Predictive alerting before business impact
03

Enterprise system integration

Connections into the systems that actually run the business, including the ones nobody wants to touch.

  • ERP, MES, CRM, ITSM and HCM integration
  • Mainframe and legacy interface support
  • API, queue, file and screen-level connection
  • Custom and in-house applications
04

Deployment and residency

Deployed wherever your regulator, your security team and your architecture require.

  • On-premise, cloud, hybrid and air-gapped
  • Data residency configured per market
  • Aligned to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 20000-1:2018
  • Validated environment support for GxP
BUSINESS VALUE

Business Value

Platform neutrality isn't really a feature. It's what stops your automation programme being priced by your RPA vendor.

0+

Automations monitored

Live across 60+ enterprise clients and 12 industries, on whatever platform mix each estate arrived with.

0

RPA platforms supported natively

UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and Power Automate, under one standard and one monitoring view.

0%

Fewer production incidents

Dependency-aware monitoring catches the upstream change before it reaches the bot, and the bot before it reaches the business.

0

Vendor lock-in

ARIA and AURA are platform neutral, so consolidation stays a commercial decision rather than a technical hostage situation.

USE CASES

Where this applies

Banking

Multi-market, multi-platform estates

Automation inherited through acquisitions and market expansion, running on several RPA tools with nothing common underneath.

Manufacturing

ERP and MES integration

SAP, Oracle and Infor environments bridged to MES, quality and supply chain systems, with every interface registered as a monitored dependency.

Enterprise IT

90+ entity shared services

One dependency graph across every entity, so a system outage produces one known blast radius rather than ninety separate investigations.

Pharma

Validated and air-gapped environments

Deployment inside GxP-validated and network-isolated environments, with residency and access patterns matched market by market.

CASE STUDIES

Customer results

Banking

Global Financial Services Group

CHALLENGE

Automation fragmented across 4 business units running 6 different RPA tools, no central governance, and quality visibly declining.

OUTCOME

Unified CoE in 90 days, monitored in one AURA view, without forcing a platform consolidation first. Automation failure rate down 60% within 12 months.

Read case study
Enterprise IT

Global shared services, 90+ entities

CHALLENGE

No dependency visibility between entities, so every upstream change produced an unpredictable set of silent bot failures.

OUTCOME

Full dependency graph registered under AURA. 412 production incidents prevented in 90 days. 99% uptime, MTTR down 71%.

FAQ

Common questions about AutomationCOE.

Not finding your answer? Email us directly.

AutomationCOE is designed to work across the enterprise technology stack, including AI and LLM platforms, RPA tools, ERP systems, data platforms, cloud infrastructure, security tools, identity systems, and observability platforms. This allows organizations to connect automation with the systems they already use.
Yes. AutomationCOE can integrate with major RPA platforms such as UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate, while supporting automation estates that use multiple platforms. This enables organizations to build and monitor automation without replacing their existing RPA investments.
AutomationCOE can connect intelligent automation with enterprise applications such as SAP and Oracle. This allows AI agents and automated workflows to interact with core business processes while maintaining visibility into the systems and dependencies involved.
Yes. AutomationCOE is designed to operate across cloud environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as data platforms including Snowflake and Databricks. This enables organizations to incorporate cloud infrastructure and enterprise data into their automation ecosystem.
AutomationCOE connects automation with enterprise security, identity, and observability technologies, including Vault, SIEM platforms, Okta, Active Directory, Datadog, and Splunk. These integrations help provide stronger access control, security visibility, dependency monitoring, and operational assurance across automation environments.
No. AutomationCOE is designed to sit across the systems enterprises already run and act as an intelligence and orchestration layer. It can connect existing RPA, ERP, AI, data, cloud, identity, security, and observability technologies, helping organizations extend their current investments rather than replacing the entire technology stack.
