Why do some businesses think they don't have to get involved in RPA? It's not just the small businesses, either - Pfizer's RPA programme is relatively young. Anil Bhavanani says that the company had a lot of other things going on: trying to integrate their work onto a single ERP, standardizing work across global operations and consolidation presented a backdrop against which Digital Transformation seemed a step too far.

Anil is Director BPO Operations and Digital Transformation at Pfizer. In this role he is responsible for overseeing the Finance & Accounting operations outsourced to Vendor Partner 'Genpact' and ensuring a successful transition as is required for effective and efficient processing of Pfizer’s financial transactions around the world.
