Slalom, the global business and technology consulting company, and Formant, a leading provider of cloud robotics management software, announced a strategic partnership to help enterprise companies more easily adopt automation and robotics technologies to supercharge their businesses.
Both companies showcased the potential of their combined technology in a demo at RoboBusiness 2024 called “Robot Corral,” that contained several live demos of Formant customer and partner robots, all streaming into the Formant platform. Before the event, John Tomik, Managing Director of Slalom Element Lab, shared the following sentiment:
“At RoboBusiness, Slalom and Formant are showcasing the very near future of how companies can better navigate the complexities of automation and achieve their strategic goals through smart networks,” said Tomik. “Many businesses cite a lack of vision as the most common barrier to their adoption of robotics, but we believe connected robotics will drive the efficiency, productivity, and innovation our customers need to thrive in today’s business environment.”
Slalom and Formant have found that many organizations are eager to explore robotics and automation but are hesitant to invest due to uncertainties and complexities. By combining Slalom’s deep digital transformation and change management expertise with Formant’s cutting-edge robotics platform, the partnership offers a comprehensive solution that de-risks automation initiatives and maximizes their business impact. The companies will be able to help organizations develop early-stage pilot projects and fully operational robotics systems while accelerating time to value to ensure that businesses can reap the benefits of automation faster.
“Formant is thrilled to join forces with Slalom to accelerate the adoption of robotics and automation in the enterprise,” said Kate MeLynda, President at Formant. “Our combined expertise will provide organizations with the confidence and clarity they need to successfully deploy and manage robotics initiatives, realizing tangible business value.”
