Shout out to Mark Grgurich (BGR)!
Kudos to Mark Grgurich for giving a fantastic demo of an automation he developed for OHRM called "Spot Award Bot." This project combines RPA and scripting to help supervisors easily and quickly complete the forms needed by supervisors to submit spot awards for their employees. Not only does the automation make things easier and fast, it ensures the correct information is always pulled and that business rule requirements, like amount thresholds and required approvals, are met.
