UiPath achieved the highest possible scores for Strategy and Market Presence categories, plus the highest score of all evaluated RPA vendors in the Current Offering category in The Forrester Wave™: Robotic Process Automation Q4 2019.

We have said it before and we’ll say it again, we’re pleased to work with UiPath as they constantly strive to meet customer’s RPA needs.

What are the latest RPA needs of customers today?

According to Forrester Wave, there are 4 themes of focus:

Process Mining and discovery Attended automation, or the ability to support human and robot interaction Platform openness Cost of ownership

As the RPA needs of businesses evolve from a few RPA robots to real automation first strategies, the tools that vendors provide need to allow customers to easily identify and prioritise the processes that can bring more ROI when automated.

The level of complexity and length of processes in need of automation is getting higher, and businesses need platforms that can support RPA as well as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and other external building blocks. These platforms also need to take into account the cost of ownership and how it affects the customer’s ROI when deploying at scale.

What is next for RPA?

When our CEO and co-founder, Leigh, attended the Forward III conference in 2019, UiPath announced the next generation of the UiPath Enterprise RPA platform. With advancements in process discovery, attended automation and analytics, UiPath is certainly getting ready for the future of RPA.
