Intelligent Automation

We empower the human creativity with our scalable Intelligent Automation (IA) solutions that assist federal agencies achieve higher levels of productivity, efficiency and compliance and cost reduction. We achieve this by creating solutions in the fields of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our IA solutions enable process orchestration to make smarter decisions and achieve end-to-end AI-Driven Process Automation.

Robotic Process Automation


Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a software technology solution for the automation of business processes. RPA allows federal agencies to automate manual, repetitive and rules-based business processes in a non-intrusive way by leveraging the existing infrastructure of underlying systems (without any “rip and replacement”).An RPA automation solution provides your agency with the following benefits.

  • Eliminates manual processes

  • Decreases costs

  • Raises productivity

  • Increases quality by reducing error rates

  • Improves compliance

  • Raises employee satisfaction

  • Attract new talent (by positioning it as a cool workplace)

Our RPA framework includes:

  • Robotic Operations Center(ROC)

  • Bot as a Service(BaaS)

  • Managed Service(On Prem, Hybrid, Gov Cloud)

  • Domain specific assessment artifacts (eg: Procurement or IT Help desk)

  • Reusable Components

  • Accelerators

Machine Learning


Federal agencies are awash with data. Machine learning (ML) applies statistical techniques to these large data sets by looking for patterns and then generates an implementation code (called Model) that lets agencies recognize those patterns.

  • Our ML solutions include an iterative software development and model management. We have deep expertise in configuring and provisioning environments for training and serving machine learning models.

  • Our ML models can be deployed using Command Line Interface (CLI) or Software Development Kits (SDK). DevOps teams can integrate the CLI to automation while developers consume the SDK from IDEs such as Jupyter Notebooks, VS Code, or PyCharm.

  • Our ML solutions are built using enterprise automated machine learning platforms such as Azure ML Studio, Data Robot and H2O.Ai as well as custom development using SAS, Python, R or Jupyter.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)


Federal agencies missions which include citizen-facing roles like health and social services, border services, revenue, pensions, and social security, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can really boost the citizen satisfaction and help scale the needs with reduced costs and greater efficiency. Anika Systems AI solutions deliver value at scale by setting up an automation ecosystem, bringing in operational excellence and implementing use cases. Our AI solutions include

  • AI maturity assessment

  • Center of Excellence(CoE) setup

  • Use case discovery

  • Cognitive Solutions like Sentiment Analysis, Image Analytics and Speech Recognition

  • Building Chatbot frameworks

Enterprise IT Modernization

In our view any application that impedes business process change is considered a Legacy application. These legacy applications may run on mainframe environments or on a deprecated software platform that the vendor has stopped supporting. Outdated legacy environments hinder progress, burden agencies with high maintenance costs and impede the ability to attract employees with necessary skill sets. We assist your agency in building a lean, robust and future-forward IT asset portfolio designed to migrate from the existing applications, reduce operating expenses and produce tangible business outcomes. We classify IT Modernization into the following areas:

  • Cloud Solutions (Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and Gov Cloud)

  • Application Modernization (Legacy Code Conversion, DevSecOps/DataOps using Agile/Kanban Frameworks)

  • Infrastructure Modernization (SDN, Hyperconverged Infrastructure)

  • Digital Transformation (Low code Platforms, Intelligent intranets, Desktop as a Service, Mobility)


Our Approach to Enterprise Modernization involves

Business Process Modernization


  • Plan - Identify Business Processes

  • Transform - Streamline and Enhance

  • Implement - Validate and Rollout

Application and Infrastructure Modernization


  • Plan - Analyzing Legacy Code, software and hardware

  • Transform - Application and Infrastructure Architecture

  • Implement - Writing and Delivering Quality Software to convert from COBOL/ALC to Java/.Net or other Modern Languages. Consolidation and upgrade of legacy infrastructure. Integration with cloud, mobile and web services

Cloud Engineering

Cloud Transformation continues to be one of the major investment priorities for federal agencies and effective strategy can bring agility, instant scalability and operational simplicity across the organization.

We help federal agencies develop complete cloud strategy allowing businesses to do seamless migration of their applications and eliminating uncertainty. We work with your IT and Business Divisions to assess the following areas:

  • Agencies’ readiness

  • Current Architecture and Target State Architecture

  • Gov Cloud vs. Private Cloud vs. Hybrid evaluations

  • Risk and impact analysis

  • Timelines, process, tools, resources and budget
