We drive the UK’s digital revolution because we run the UK’s digital network. Our mission is to build the best network, offering the highest quality of service.

We have been using AssistEdge RPA to automate procedures that we couldn’t automate previously. AssistEdge RPA has helped us bridge the gap between different systems that were either not configurable or held back by technical debt.

Utilizing the EdgeVerve product has had a positive impact on our business. We can now get customer orders fulfilled more quickly; in addition, we have reduced costs and equipped our people with better tools to help them tackle the complicated problems, without our complex system stack getting in their way.
