What This Service Delivers
NovoCircle’s intelligent automation practice designs and builds automation solutions for mid-size organizations — RPA (Robotic Process Automation), workflow automation, AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents, and process orchestration. We implement the solutions we recommend. There is no handoff to a separate delivery team.
Every automation engagement begins with a clear picture of the process being automated: its current state, its failure modes, its edge cases, and the business outcome it needs to produce. We don’t automate bad processes. We fix the process first, then automate it.
What This Service Delivers
- Process analysis and optimization prior to automation
- RPA implementation (UiPath, Power Automate, Automation Anywhere)
- Workflow automation and process orchestration
- AI agent design and deployment
- Human-in-the-loop workflow design for high-exception processes
- Monitoring, alerting, and ongoing support arrangements
What We Automate
- Finance and accounts payable
- HR (Human Resources) onboarding and offboarding
- Customer service and case routing
- Data entry, validation, and reconciliation
- Reporting and dashboard population
- Supply chain and procurement workflows
If the process is rules-based, repeatable, and high-volume, it is a candidate for automation.
Our Approach
The principles that govern how we approach this service line.
Start with Understanding
We invest time understanding your environment, constraints, and goals before recommending anything. The shape of the solution follows the shape of the problem.
Scope to What's Real
Every engagement is scoped to what is achievable in your environment. We do not design for ideal conditions and then leave you to close the gap.
Deliver, Don't Just Advise
Our practitioners build the things they recommend. There is no hand-off to a separate delivery team after the strategy phase.
Transfer Knowledge
Every engagement includes documentation and knowledge transfer. You should not need us for the same problem twice.

Humans in the Loop — Always
Every automation includes defined oversight points. We don't remove humans from high-consequence decisions.
Experienced on the Ground
Ryan Schmierer brings 25+ years across Cisco, Microsoft, and Sparx Services NA. Not theorists. Practitioners.
Scoped to What's Real
Fixed scope on fixed-price offerings. Variable scope scoped to what can actually be delivered. No optimistic projections.

The best starting point is a 30-minute discovery call. We will ask about your environment, your goals, and your timeline, and we will tell you honestly whether this service is the right fit and what a typical engagement looks like.
We work with mid-market and enterprise organisations typically between 50 and 5,000 employees. Our engagements are designed for organisations that have real operational complexity, not early-stage startups optimising a simple process.
Yes. Many clients begin with the Define engagement, which is fixed scope and fixed price, to establish a clear picture before committing to a larger Build project. This is the lowest-risk entry point and produces useful deliverables in its own right.
