Using UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform

21 - We have been using UiPath RPA in many of our internal functional processes be it Financial, Shared Services, Accounting, HR operations. We have been working on a day to day basis in our research team too where they are working on some of the use cases where we have done some process exploration so far. We are still working on it and are learning many new things out of this tool and we are frequently getting updated with the updates from UiPath Team
7 - We are having a combination of Technical and Non-technical people who are working on the applications and are regularly supporting the service requirements both internally and externally to many of our customers. This space has been drawing a lot of attention and I am sure our support team strength will increase in the days to come. The skill sets required to support the platform is not that complex and I am sure it wont require strong programming skill set for sure.
  • Purchase Order Processing
  • Pay Roll Processing
  • Sales order processing
  • Inventory Management related sub processes
  • AI is one area where we are able to bring in some innovative touch to our approaches
  • As of now most of the use cases are around the regular F&A use cases. Yes we are looking forward to work around use cases pertaining to the retail sector around POS Systems
This platform has so much potential and have been garnering a lot of attention by proving benefits in terms of saving operational and manpower costs. I am sure with minute efforts we were able to achieve our ROI and the same is the case with many of our customers whom we have been working around Digital Automation initiatives.

Evaluating UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
  • Analyst Reports
We have done enough research to choose this platform when we thought of going ahead with RPA initiatives within our organization and to many of our clients. Be it the reviews, market feedback about the tool features, competitive pricing and customized pricing is one option which we liked the most about this tool.
With the new Process Gold tool in place which UiPath have acquired recently which we still need to explore and work upon, I think if at all we need to start again we will do enough research on the process selection part in order to pick up the best line of process work/s which are more suitable for RPA.
