The 2nd UiPath Developer Conference gave the impression that RPA has become mainstream. The conference opened with a welcome message from Raghu Subramanian, President and CEO, UiPath India, who said, “The fourth industrial revolution is evolving exponentially. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance. Today, we will discuss more on how India can leverage this disruption and take lead for the world.”
India is the global hub for RPA
India has been growing in importance in the UiPath scheme of things not only in terms of the domestic business but also in terms of ecosystem development efforts and presence of key functions such as global tech support, R&D and product engineering, and customer success functions.
Bobby Patrick Bobby Patrick, CMO, UiPath, said that there are 75,000 UiPath certification holders in India, which is 3x more than any other country. With the presence of global captives and BPM industry in the country, it makes India the global hub of RPA. He alluded to various recent strides made by UiPath in terms of mindshare and customer interest: rating of 4.5 based on 321 reviews in Gartner Peer Insights, ranked No.1 in G2 Crowd making it the Best RPA Solution of the Year, ranked No. 18 among Top 50 Products for Enterprise, ranked No. 26 in Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and No. 12 in Forbes Cloud 100.
RPA is Leading the GigaBot Economy
With RPA pervading all domains in the enterprise, Bobby Patrick also advanced the idea of enterprises having a robotics operations center (ROC) in the same way they have security operations centre and network operations center. His greater point was about the role of RPA in business transformation in a digital world wherein digital workers (software robots) would work alongside human workers. He calls it the GigaBot Economy with people and robots working together across borders and integrated with distributed ledgers.
RPA will be mainstream by 2020. Get automation-ready
According to Gartner, RPA will drive the adoption of the more buzz causing trends-AI & Blockchain. The next two years are going to see huge adoption of RPA to drive business transformation.
Daniel Dines UiPath founder and CEO Daniel Dines said in his closing keynote. “Our vision is to drive enterprise wide RPA –which we have already implemented for a few global clients —to the first 100 enterprise clients, generating on average 100,000 hours saving for each client.”
UiPath is focused on evolving an aggressive product roadmap to achieve enterprise-wide adoption. The highlights of key capabilities sought by enterprises are:
· Make RPA on cloud simpler. Just plug in to the UiPath RPA cloud and automate. Track & manage software robots anytime anywhere from the mobile
· Move from atomic level process automation to automating the larger business processes under RPA and enabling digital transformation of the organizations.
· Smart machine learning based data capture will improve accuracy and deliver smarter insights.
· Capture business analytics. For example, go beyond capturing data like “10 bots ran 100 jobs last night” to how many invoices were processed, what was the added efficiency, etc.
· Robots that learn skills to augment humans and working alongside them.
· Delivering better customer experience
Param Kahlon In keeping with these requirements, Param Kahlon, Chief Product Officer, UiPath outlined the key features of the UiPath platform roadmap in 2019 to include the following: Human Robot collaboration, Smart scheduling & Analytics, Self-service licensing, Smart capture, Robotic platform as a service, and Embedded intelligence.
