Otomatika’s inception is a tale of innovation and ambition.
OUR STORY. It began with our founder, an automation expert in a leading African telco, who, during a training session for a proprietary RPA tool, chose to embrace open-source software. This decision marked a departure from traditional methods, leading to the successful automation of various processes within his department using open-source solutions and self-developed orchestration tools. His journey with Robocorp catalyzed the birth of Otomatika, which has since evolved into a global provider of sophisticated, open-source software robots, driven by a team united in their passion for transformative automation solutions.
READ THE FULL STORYOtomatika's journey began with a vision in the heart of Africa, where our founder, then an emerging automation expert at a leading telco, encountered a pivotal moment. Fresh from completing his engineering degree, he found himself in a training session for a proprietary RPA tool. It was this session that sparked a realisation: the conventional tools were not only limiting but also disconnected from the broad scope of engineering principles he had just mastered.
Driven by a blend of frustration and inspiration, he embarked on a daring endeavour during the very same training session. Eschewing the off-the-shelf tool, he turned to open-source software to build the same example. This bold move marked the start of a transformative journey. Harnessing the power and flexibility of open-source software, he successfully automated numerous processes within his department, even crafting an orchestration tool from scratch.
As the demand for automation surged, so did the growth of his team. In pursuit of more sophisticated solutions, he discovered Robocorp, a revelation that eventually led him to leave his corporate role. Armed with a deep understanding of open-source software and a passion for innovation, he founded Otomatika. His vision was clear: to deliver powerful, open-source software robots to a diverse clientele.
Today, Otomatika stands as a testament to this vision. Our robots, initially nurtured within the confines of a leading African telco, are now operational across various sectors globally.
Our team has expanded, driven by a shared passion for open-source innovation and a commitment to delivering exceptional automation solutions.
At Otomatika, we’re not just creating robots; we’re crafting a future where technology and human ingenuity converge to unlock new realms of efficiency and creativity.
Our Automation Philosophy
At Otomatika, we believe in the profound synergy between human intelligence (HI) and robotic process automation (RPA). Our philosophy is rooted in the recognition that automation has been a pivotal part of civilization’s progress, akin to the revolutionary factory floor designed by Henry Ford. We see RPA not as a replacement for human creativity and ingenuity, but as a powerful tool to augment it.
We hold a firm conviction that humans are capable of extraordinary creativity and innovation. By automating mundane and repetitive tasks, we free up human intellect to focus on higher-level functions – thinking, strategizing, and innovating. Our approach to automation is designed to unlock this potential, allowing individuals and organizations to explore new frontiers of productivity and creativity.
In our quest to achieve greater impact, we leverage the combined strengths of robots and artificial intelligence. Our solutions are tailored to not just replicate human actions but to enhance them with the precision, efficiency, and consistency that only AI-driven robots can offer. This synergy ensures that our automation solutions are not just about doing things faster, but also smarter and with a greater level of sophistication.
At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that automation should serve a higher purpose. We are committed to harnessing the power of RPA to make a positive impact on a broader scale. Be it through increasing operational efficiency, reducing environmental impact, or enabling businesses to provide better services, our goal is to ensure that our automation solutions contribute to the greater good.
Otomatika is dedicated to being at the forefront of this transformative journey. We empower organizations to rethink their processes, innovate their workflows, and reimagine what’s possible. Our vision is not just to automate tasks but to inspire change and drive innovation across industries.
Our Model
At Otomatika, we offer a diverse array of services tailored to meet the unique automation needs of our clients. This ranges from consulting for RPA centers of excellence to providing full-time automation experts. However, the centerpiece of our offerings is our innovative ‘Robots as a Service’ model.
Understanding the challenges of high initial capital expenditure in traditional automation models, we’ve pioneered a customer-centric approach. Our flagship ‘pay as you save’ model is designed to eliminate upfront costs for our clients. We develop and deploy our robots without any initial charge, aligning our success with the value they deliver. Clients only begin their robot subscription once their robots are actively operational in production. This approach ensures that the value and savings from automation are realized before any investment is made.
Our model offers the best of both worlds. On one hand, we provide custom development, ensuring that each automation solution is meticulously tailored to the specific needs of each client. On the other, we offer a subscription-based service, making our solutions accessible and scalable. This hybrid model allows our clients to enjoy the benefits of custom-built robots with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a consumption-based subscription.
We are firm believers that true value in automation is unlocked only when implemented correctly. Our model is not just about deploying robots; it’s about partnering with our clients to ensure that each automation solution delivers tangible, measurable value. We work closely with our clients throughout the process, from development to deployment, ensuring that every solution aligns perfectly with their operational goals and delivers the promised efficiency and cost savings.
