ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DRT Strategies, Inc. (DRT) (http://www.drtstrategies.com), an award-winning technology innovator and leading digital transformation partner to federal agencies for nearly 20 years, announced today that the company achieved wins in five out of six categories in the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) first annual Bot-A-Thon technology challenge. The objective of USDA's Bot-A-Thon technology challenge was to identify and solve challenges faced by USDA's customers, workforce, and mission by utilizing intelligent automation.

DRT technology teams supported by DRT's Idea Lab™ and mentors from USDA and UiPath, designed, built, and submitted three working Robotic Process Automation (RPA) "bots" that dramatically automate and amplify workforce productivity and efficiency. Specifically, DRT's winning RPA bots demonstrated the following outcomes:

  • Reporting Bot (Winner: Best Mission Impact, Best Collaboration): Automated previously manual weekly reports to be completed and issued agency-wide: Savings of 16,744 human work hours per year, totaling an annual savings of $435,344
  • Onboarding Bot (Winner: Best Workforce Impact, Best Reusability): Automated previously manual updating of agency's Onboarding tracker with 2,400 packages per year: Reduced time by 90% and minimized data entry and data entry errors
  • Chatbot (Winner: Best Intelligence, Best Workforce Impact): Increased accuracy of SAFe information management, standardized information and terminology, increased team productivity, and improved knowledge transfer

"We are thrilled with USDA's recognition of our RPA and workforce automation capabilities," commented Susan Kidd, CEO at DRT. "I'd like to thank USDA for this honor and distinction. To win in almost all categories of this technology competition is testament to our teams' immense creativity, customer understanding, and technical expertise. I am proud of our DRTers who clearly delivered the USDA mission using the power of automation."
