Challenge
Gemeente Midden-Groningen recently took a significant step by transitioning to a new software environment. However, this migration posed a challenge: thousands of files needed to be transferred. The time pressure was intense, as the new software was set to become operational within the same month, and the functionality for file transfer was not available. Nimble was asked to step in and ensure that the files could be transferred in time using RPA, enabling the Municipality of Midden-Groningen to successfully complete the software migration.
Solution
Immediately after learning about the challenge, we were at the table the next morning to discuss the case. Given the tight deadline, we had to act quickly and moved on to analyzing the various steps involved. From this starting point, we evaluated the different technologies that could be applied, with RPA emerging as the most suitable solution—particularly for the task at hand, which involved transferring thousands of files.
Result
The successful migration of all files within the set deadline is a testament to the flexibility and speed of the project. Thanks to the excellent effort and collaboration of all parties involved, we were able to migrate a massive amount of data accurately and on time.
A robot processes data five times faster than a human, taking an average of just 40 seconds to transfer a file, including thorough content validation and a detailed results report for final review. The robot records and processes each successfully transferred report. In cases where the robot was unable to transfer a report successfully, it was flagged for manual follow-up, which occurred in less than 1% of the cases.
Through effective collaboration between various chain partners, the project was completed within the specified time frame using this rapid solution, without the need for additional personnel.
