In a complex landscape of business applications, the flow of data between systems is crucial for today’s enterprise. Sometimes, particularly with older systems, the interfaces necessary to facilitate data exchange do not exist. Traditional integration projects can take months or years to implement, and come with a price tag to suit. The workaround that emerged to address this problem some time ago became to be called Robotic Process Automation.
Looking back at the last 5 years, the rate of adoption for RPA in large enterprises has been quite staggering. In a typical organization, a team could easily automate dozens of…
The field of Robotic Process Automation has been dominated by commercial products, licensed on a per-robot (or per-user, for development tools) basis. They promise non-technical users the ability to automate processes in business applications as self service. The resulting robots are able to interact with the applications, including clicking and typing input into fields, based on predefined rules.
Vendors such as UiPath and Blue Prism have done a great job in packaging these capabilities into commercial products. The techniques leveraged by these software, however, are not proprietary — all of the same functionality can be accomplished with open-source tools and…
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has been a hot buzz for some time — many companies and organizations have been implementing RPA already for 4–5 years with great success.
RPA is a powerful method to improve operational efficiency and profitability and to seek for enterprise level benefits. Many organizations fail to show the automation results or have an extremely narrow scope on measuring the automation benefits.
“What you measure is what you get” and “What you can’t measure — you can’t manage” — these are some old quotes I still believe in. Majority of the automation programs measure only technical robot…
