Case Study VI: AIGPE — Remote Process Automation (RPA)
Advanced Innovation Group Pro Excellence (AIGPE), an instructional content provider on platforms like Udemy and StackSkills, came to Serenichron needing to optimize their operations. What started as a request for help with course creation became a project to automate their certification process so it could grow effectively.
The Client
Introduction
Advanced Innovation Group Pro Excellence (AIGPE) approached us with a need for efficiency. A trusted partner referred AIGPE to Serenichron, knowing we could help optimize their operations. AIGPE, an instructional content provider, offers materials on platforms like Udemy, StackSkills, and their website. They initially sought assistance in course creation but soon realized their certification process needed automation to grow effectively.
What AIGPE Set Out to Do
Goals
AIGPE’s main goals were to:
Automate Certification: Their current manual steps took too much time and limited growth.
Create Digital Certificates: They wanted to use Open Badges 3.0 for secure, digital certificates.
Track Alumni Progress: A system for partners to confirm student credentials and monitor alumni activity was needed.
Where We Started
Project Focus
We started with the certification process. AIGPE’s team managed certificates manually using multiple tools like Dropbox, Excel, Udemy, and Typeform. This limited them to issuing about 40 certificates per day. Our goal was to help them grow, while keeping costs low and working with their current system.
Tools already in use
Weighing the Approach
Solution Options
We looked at three options:
Custom Platform
Combines all processes into one system but takes a lot of time and money to set up.
Cloud Automation
Automates tasks without a full system, though it needs a long setup and can’t be tested early.
Remote Process Automation (RPA)
Works with current tools to automate tasks; we chose RPA using Microsoft Power Automate for desktop tasks.
Putting It Into Action
Implementing the RPA Solution
We recommended Microsoft Power Automate as it works well with AIGPE’s tools and is part of their Office 365 plan. Power Automate helped us automate key parts of certification and fit easily into their Excel-based workflow.
Collecting Certification Requests
The RPA system automatically gathers and organizes requests daily.
Checking Documents Automatically
The RPA checks student details (name, score, email) and asks staff to approve or reject certificates.
Scaling to More Courses
We tested the RPA with one high-demand course, saving staff 50% of their time. After positive results, we extended the system to all 27 courses. This increased their capacity to up to 400 certifications per day, with potential for up to 1,000.
The Impact
Results
This solution provided consistent improvements:
- 400+ Certifications DailyIncreased from 40 per day, with room for further growth.
- Reduced Manual WorkStaff time and effort decreased, allowing them to focus on other tasks.
- Future-ReadyPower Automate will allow AIGPE to expand digital certificates as needed.
