Please give us an overview of AntWorks’s solutions?
AntWorks disrupted the traditional Robotics Process Automation (RPA) industry and created a whole new technology category, the Integrated Automation Platform (IAP).
It changed the way the industry views automation, going beyond RPA. Benchmarked against competitors who’ve been in the industry far longer, AntWorks is tipped to revolutionise business processes and the overall operational efficiencies of enterprises in every sector by helping them move past task-based automation and achieve scalable, end-to-end business process automation.
What was the vision behind the Establishment of Antworks?
When we entered the market, we were very clear that we were not going to replicate another, non-scalable RPA tool which did not address the unstructured data challenge enterprises face. With a firm belief, that data is the most critical component in an automation journey, the AntWorks platform was built to extract and read all data types. The founding team invented an alternative to OCR (Optical Character Recognition), the industry’s standard tool for extracting data. Called Cognitive Machine Reading (CMR), AntWorks’ proprietary technology uses fractal science and pattern recognition to read and ingest every data type.
What is your strategy to reach your Customers? Do you have a strong partner network?

What are your key differentiators or uniqueness of AntWorks offerings?
AntWorks is unique in the marketplace because it has moved the industry from RPA to Integrated Automation Platform (IAP).
Our data ingestion engine uses a fundamentally different science called fractal science while the market at large is still using neural science. RPA business cases are failing today because they are using OCR where they are not being able to deal with unstructured data. From the very beginning we wanted to create a platform which would be able to deal with all types of data in the back office.
What are your plans for next 12-15 months?
With ANTstein SQUARE, the world’s first and only Integrated Automation Platform (IAP), powered by fractal science. AntWorks seeks to replicate its success across Asia, the UK and US, where the organisation has automated entire business processes end-to-end for many clients across the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance), transportation, logistics and public sector, among others.
What is the role of AI in the business? And how it would be a game changer?
Artificial Intelligence is going to have a long-lasting impact on how businesses operate today and how they will be operating tomorrow. AI will witness traction in healthcare as a result of which medical results and clinical trials will conclude a lot quicker. Logistics and transportation will be redefined by driverless cars, smart roads and smart cities.
