Reducing Costs and Improving Performance with Robotics Process Automation

In 2017, SCE’s Customer Service Operations Digital Labor team developed a strategy and implemented a digital workforce to supplement human resources in the utility’s billing, credit, collections and payments department. The team successfully staffed, trained, established and operationalized governance, quality assurance and a support/maintenance model for robotics process automation, implementing approximately 20 automated processes that run on machines without needing human control. Within a year’s time, the team SCE automated nearly 900,000 transactions, resulting in $2.1 million in savings.
