  • We can easily delegate the rules to business user so that they can configure the data as per the business needs like data type, decision tables etc
  • A very powerful concept has introduced is UI pages which can be leveraged to capture the data instances without creating a case.
  • DXAPI is another powerful way which can be used to run the Pega application in native language and can be achieved using React js

  • Once bots are deployed they carry out work 24*7*365, which resulted in saving several work hours.
  • The support team has to monitor regularly. If there is no change in target applications or bots are running fine. This is a bit of negative impact from RPA side.
  • Overall, the organizations are benefited from bots as they save operation cost and work hours.
