So, why EASi AI?

Let me tell you the story of how EASi AI came to be. It all started when I was working at Capita and witnessed the explosive growth of their RPA team firsthand. We went from just 3 people to a staggering 177 in under a year! You can imagine the challenges that came with scaling so rapidly - infrastructure issues, skills gaps, resource constraints, resistance to change, vague targets, process discovery bottlenecks, engagement struggles, reliability concerns, soaring costs...we faced it all.

The problems persisted when I transitioned into consulting too. I saw the same old headaches over and over within different automation Centers of Excellence. But there was one issue that really stuck out to me - the fact that smaller organizations or those strapped for cash, despite desperately needing automation, simply couldn't afford the exorbitant upfront costs.

Even the companies that could pay the hefty price tag found it an uphill battle to get maximum value from their pricey automation assets. The tools weren't built with economy or efficiency in mind. And let's be real, deciphering those baffling RPA licensing structures was a nightmare!

Over the years, this constant frustration kept gnawing at me - there had to be a better way, a fairer model that could democratise automation and make it accessible to everyone. That's when the idea of a consumption-based RPA platform was born. No more underutilised licenses bleeding money. Just pay for what you actually use at competitive, affordable rates. Let's tear down those barriers to entry!

I joined forces with Martin Boakes and Phil Lewis who shared my passion and had the technical expertise to turn this dream into reality. But we didn't stop there. We wanted to comprehensively tackle all the other common automation roadblocks too - from engagement to opportunity identification, assessment, prioritisation, ROI projections, development, maintenance, monitoring, you name it. We envisioned an all-in-one platform with chatbots, AI, IDP and more, backed by best-of-breed tools (which in some cases, we got exclusively).

That's how EASi AI was born. We built this one-stop shop on the principle that everything, and I mean everything, should be pay-as-you-go with zero minimum commitments. A first in the industry that gives us a huge competitive edge.

Our core principles are: simplicity, fairness, transparency, delivering a net positive impact on society, and most importantly, democratising automation for all. We're throwing open the doors for SMEs and public sector organisations - segments that have been ignored or given lacklustre options until now. We're boldly disrupting this market in a big way.

We're incredibly excited to begin this journey and hope you'll join us in pioneering this new era of accessible automation!
