To transform your business, rethink how your entire organization operates
Using an ecosystem approach simplifies the complexity of process transformation. Instead of businesses needing to figure out which vendors or technologies best fit their needs, an EY-orchestrated ecosystem consists of capabilities, technologies and stakeholders. EY teams integrate leading-edge tools from industry leaders like UiPath while ensuring seamless alignment with your existing systems and vendors. This approach helps to ensure a streamlined, high value transformation process.
Case study example of process transformation
In the automotive industry, an ecosystem approach helped one of its largest clients transform a critical key performance indicator (KPI). Using AI-driven insights and the UiPath platform, the team analyzed the client’s entire end-to-end sales process, identifying key moments that impacted vehicle time on the lot. The results were substantial:
- Sales follow-ups increased from 3% to 100%
- Time to close a sale dropped from several hours to just six minutes
- Overall, vehicle time on the lot was reduced by 15%
Not just plug-and-play process improvement
Augmentation plays a key role in this transformation. Rather than replacing employees, augmentation enhances human capabilities by integrating AI and automation into daily workflows. Augmentation empowers employees to make better decisions, work more efficiently and focus on high-value tasks that drive business results. By reducing repetitive tasks and improving processes, AI-driven augmentation helps businesses unlock greater efficiency.
Automation is empowering workers, not replacing them
Today’s workforce is increasingly asking, “How can technology help me do my job better?” Automation is being embraced as a productivity tool, improving job satisfaction and engagement. By automating routine tasks, businesses allow employees to focus on more complex and value-driven work, improving their overall output. This shift also attracts top talent, as companies that embrace automation and augmentation are seen as forward-thinking and employee-centric.
Collaboration in ecosystems is key to driving effective business transformation
By working closely with technology leaders who integrate AI and automation into cohesive ecosystems, businesses can streamline complex initiatives and ensure seamless transitions. High-performing ecosystems deliver significant value, with companies that embrace them seeing revenue growth more than double compared to those that don’t. Additionally, businesses that leverage ecosystems realize 1.5x more cost reductions, positioning them to thrive in a competitive marketplace.
Aligning technologies for substantial solutions
As demonstrated by this case, the ecosystem approach effectively integrates various technologies to tackle complex challenges. By bringing together diverse systems and capabilities, organizations achieve solutions that are more scalable and robust. These principles of collaboration and alignment can drive similar results for other businesses, no matter their industry.
