rku.it GmbH, a leading energy industry IT service provider, seals partnership with T-Systems and UiPath. It delivers its own Energy Automation Sphere platform for the automation of rule-based energy industry business processes. Based on more than 350 readymade RPA and hyperautomation solutions, energy suppliers will receive an intelligent automation platform from the Open Telekom Cloud.
UiPath has been a partner of rku.it since 2018, working together to drive forward the end-to-end automation of business processes for energy suppliers. Mark Borgmann, Regional Vice President at UiPath GmbH, said, “We can already look back on many years of good collaboration with rku.it. Building an automation solution suite tailored to the energy industry based on the UiPath platform means that companies in the energy industry can utilize the full capacity of UiPath solutions.”
In addition to expertise in artificial intelligence and intelligent automation and being a service provider for information technology and digitalization solutions, T-Systems contributes a modern, secure, and scalable infrastructure to the solution through the Open Telekom Cloud. Elke Anderl, Chief Commercial Officer at T-Systems International, addressed that “Intelligent automation solutions are a must for the future. Our trio of partners brings the best from all areas to the energy industry. The Open Telekom Cloud also ensures a sovereign solution for our customers. rku.it is the ideal partner here, as it already has a very broad automation portfolio with over 350 RPA solutions.”
Matthias Junker, Director Operations and Member of the Management Board at rku.it, further added, “We are delighted to be able to offer the platform in collaboration with UiPath and T-Systems. At rku.it, we rely on strong partnerships and are aware that such large projects can only be implemented as a team and with bundled expertise.”
Christian Kenter, Senior Application Manager Service Integration Automation at rku.it, stated that there is an increasing demand placed on energy suppliers as the market is moving away from the pure supply of energy. Other products are coming into higher focus and human resources are becoming increasingly scarce. This is precisely where the Energy Automation Sphere comes in. Automated solutions are used partially or fully to relieve employees of operational tasks, and robots can be used flexibly, offering real added value. Employees can then be involved in other productive activities such as developing new products.
In addition to reducing the workload for employees, the key benefits of the Energy Automation Sphere include scalability, increased process efficiency, error minimization, and constant evolution in line with the changing requirements of the market. Christian Kenter further adds that their consistent and close contact with customers enables them to always know what is currently in demand, what the trends are, and what can still be optimized. Based on relevant feedback and constant market observations, the development of many more intelligent robots for a wide range of applications is definitely to be expected in the coming future.
