6. Analyst View
"Automation Anywhere has enhanced its
software by adding new features in areas such
as workload management, automation lifecycle
management, SLA-based automation, Citrix
automation, and credential management as well
as adding new data APIs. These additions
should appeal to enterprise users who are
looking for higher operational and security
capabilities in RPA software."
– Sarah Burnett, Vice President, Everest Group
7. Analyst View
"Automation Anywhere gets high marks for both
intuitive usability and scalability in the RPA user
experience research HfS has recently completed.
With the release of Enterprise 11, the company
has introduced significant enhancements, most
notably higher-level security, credential vaults so
only authorized people have access to bots,
sophisticated workload management, as well as
an attractive new interface, which provides a
compelling user experience."

Addressing all RPA stakeholders
42. Persona: Technical User
Business Problem
• Designing and rolling out an analytics solution is expensive and time consuming; integrating to RPA is challenging
• Typical solutions do not provide operational insights
• Generating dashboards is a separate step
• Need to extract, load, and transform data from other enterprise data sources is complicated
• Existing data is stored in siloes
Unique Value Proposition
Simply tag the data, and we do the rest. Dashboards are automatically created. There is no other way to do it this easily or with tighter integration.
Remove silos and get a single source of truth without messy integration.
Benefits
• Natively designed to provide data about the RPA program.
• Shows data such as: bot heartbeat, most valuable bots, and bot failure reasons; in order to maximize utilization and minimize disruptions.
• Dashboards are automatically created using AA’s unique technology
• Eliminates need to collect data from silos; no need for 3rd party analytics; anything within a bot read can be aggregated
• When data is tagged, it can be analyzed without messy integration
Proof Points
• Creating dashboards is more costly than data integration
• NetApp “It would cost us 20-30K and 2 months per bot to integrate with OBIEE. With Bot Insight it takes less then 3 hours.” - Madhu Ranjan, Director RPA
CoE
43. Persona: Business User
Business Problem
• Understanding which bots are most valuable and visualizing bot performance
• Generating content level data; ability to filter based on any variable
• Identifying broken processes
• Need for actionable information
• Need to access data in process, rather than final output
• Need for real time data
Unique Value Proposition
Single source of truth, analyze business process end to end. Access different data sources on day one. Understand business problems in real-time.
Benefits
• Single source of truth for all data
• Analyze data on day one without having to aggregate from different sources
• Content level data can be shown visually for any bot for any variable
• Broken or slow processes will bubble up in the dashboard
• Actionable data such as trends in process are immediately available in real time
Proof Points
• Creating dashboards is more costly than data integration
• NetApp “It would cost us 20-30K and 2 months per bot to integrate with OBIEE. With Bot Insight it takes less then 3 hours.” - Madhu Ranjan, Director RPA
CoE
44. Persona: RPA Sponsor
Business Problem
• Articulating bot value in real time
• Demonstrating performance to other departments
• Increasing bot velocity
• Need for central management to optimize entire program
Unique Value Proposition
See the value of the entire RPA program in one place, with a single source of truth. Demonstrate value across departments.
Benefits
• Immediate CoE dashboard
• Dashboards show real time value in easy to understand charts
• Individual bot ROI in terms of hours, dollars or FTE, can be viewed by department or process
• Share best practices across departments
• Project value is summarized in the dashboard, making it easy to share
• Bot velocity can be increased because the value is visually available in real-time
• The dashboard summarizes the entire program using any combination of metrics desired
Proof Points
• Creating dashboards is more costly than data integration
• NetApp “It would cost us 20-30K and 2 months per bot to integrate with OBIEE. With Bot Insight it takes less then 3 hours.” - Madhu Ranjan, Director RPA

45. Positioning
A cognitive bot that leverages AI and machine learning to learn from human behavior bringing structure to unstructured data
Business Problem
Data in documents and unstructured content is hard to extract accurately for business users using traditional solutions like
intelligent OCR (also know as data capture) and cloud AI platforms resulting in high setup/operation costs and low
throughput
Unique Value Proposition
IQ Bots are the first ever RPA integrated, cognitive bots that learn as they intelligently digitize and process any form of
documents, using computer vision and machine learning technologies that learn from human behavior, becoming faster and
more accurate, while reducing setup and operation costs by over 90%.
Benefits
• Reduce setup costs by 90%
• Rapid time to value – concept to production in 2-4 weeks
• ROI within 3-6 months
• Continuously improve STP and lower validation cost with supervised learning
Proof Points
• A Fortune 500 company found setup to be 4X faster, went from concept to production in 5 weeks and achieved 100% ROI
in less than 3 months.
• A large global manufacturer doubled STP from 30% to 61% within 4 months

Bot Store Overview
Notes de l'éditeur
It is no longer as new as it was 3 years ago
Everything that can be automated will be automated
After 20 years of automation tools, majority of business processes are still manual. Why is it?
In this journey towards, bots – believe it or not, people are the most important component!
…all transformative technologies…have to address the core groups involved in the transformation
In order for you to accomplish this, RPA has to work for these 3 groups
Business, IT and Developers
Business: drives the goals, sets priorities to maximize ROI -
IT: ensures that the system is scalable, reliable, secure and performs well
Developers: build bots ranging from the simplest to the most advanced
Our RPA platform has to make each of this stakeholders’ lives easier in every step of the journey. Now, how do you do that?
Creating variables in UiPath is a lengthy process
UiPath does not encrypt data in memory. The bot code is also not encrypted/obfuscated
If CyberArk is not available, UiPath uses Windows credential manager. So bots and bot username/pass are stored on the same machine – very insecure.
UiPath’s RBAC is limited to yes/no type access control
UiPath does not support SAML 2.0 or 2-factor authentication
