THE PARTNER
About Digital Workforce
Digital Workforce Services Plc stands at the forefront of the global business automation landscape. As a versatile, multi-technology provider, they thrive in harnessing the most advanced techniques for solving complex business automation challenges. With a commitment to a pay-per-value model, Digital Workforce has consistently delivered solid results for its clients.
THE CHALLENGE
Addressing Complex Healthcare Data Integration and Automation Needs
Ongoing Finnish Health and Social Services reform necessitates seamless integration among many disparate systems and service providers. Since multiple welfare regions have the same challenge and the amount of workload can be unknown due to target system restrictions, it demands a solution that is repeatable and highly scalable. In a single welfare region, hundreds of IT systems are commonplace, while university hospital areas manage even more than a thousand different systems and applications. The challenge lies in automating the synchronization of critical information across these diverse systems. Notably, the partnership between Digital Workforce and Robocorp has yielded substantial success in the execution of multiple projects of this nature, with numerous similar projects on the horizon.
The time spent manually transferring data from these systems translates to precious hours away from essential patient care work. To overcome this challenge, Digital Workforce integrated Robocorp technology into its offering. This strategic decision was driven by the need for a solution to offer the repeatability and scalability required to solve the challenge across different municipalities.
