NIRAS has a 3-year digitization strategy, where automation and RPA are one of several focus areas. For NIRAS, the strategy is partly focused on streamlining various internal processes, but also about digitizing services for customers where it makes sense. Currently, RPA is managing more than 20 processes in the Finance and HR departments. A total of 35 processes are in operation across NIRAS and more are being added on an ongoing basis.
A year ago, NIRAS acquired the company AlfaNordic and succeeded in integrating AlfaNordic's processes with NIRAS ', without having to hire additional staff in Finance and HR. This was made possible partly because NIRAS has automated the process of creating new employees in HR systems.
