Amgen's journey through automation for enhanced efficiency

An integrated platform streamlines innovation​​​

Amgen partnered with UiPath to implement a cloud-based automation platform tailored to the pharmaceutical industry. With UiPath, Amgen developed a systematic lifecycle for AI + automation. And by automating complex tasks like sales order processing, including extracting data from purchase orders and integrating it with SAP®, Amgen achieved significant productivity savings, faster processing times, and improved accuracy.

The advantage we found is that because we are now in the cloud, we have the ability to access innovation, and we don’t have to wait years. That’s really the biggest advantage for us.
