In the last couple of years, Deloitte, EY and Accenture have all built teams structured around delivering RPA solutions to the market. The companies saw an opportunity of rising digitalization and seized it. Their quick and decisive action has rewarded them with ample profits and growth, however, next to these larger organizations, there is a smaller player in the industry which can be seen as a rising star.
Ciphix is a smaller company, located in Rotterdam the Netherlands, with a size of +/- 40 FTE. The organization offers Robotic Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Conversational Automation solutions.
Furthermore, Ciphix has several partnerships with suppliers of software such as Dialogflow, Enate UI Path and most interesting, Google Tensorflow.
The company serves several clients in the healthcare industry, among which are well known names such as the Erasmus MC. Additionally, the organization also offers to provide educational workshops in which they give organizations the option to train their own staff in order for them to become RPA developers.
Next to their services, Ciphix has a well thought out marketing strategy. The company constantly emphasizes the mentality of their developers in their online presence as they claim they are ‘’problem solvers with a purpose’’. Furthermore, they promise to be able to ‘’“build your digital workforce’’ through will they will automate manually and repetitive tasks.
Weaknesses of the organization is that Ciphix currently does not have the same resources or the name of the larger players in the RPA industry such as Deloitte, EY or Accenture. If they truly want to be involved in the big league this is one of the things the organization has to work on.
Nevertheless, Ciphix is a rising star and a name to watch in the coming years. The company might very well pose a viable threat for the BIG4 companies that are active in the RPA space.
