RPA Software

RPA Software: Robotic Process Automation makes use of software with artificial intelligence and machine learning capability to handle high-volume, a repeatable task which was compulsory for humans to perform. 

In other words, we can say that "the RPA software is an application of technology that allows users or employees in the company to configure the computer software or the robot to capture and interpret the existing application for processing the transaction, manipulating the data, triggering  the responses, and communicating with other digital systems.”

The RPA is the software-based technology that utilizes software robots to emulate the human execution of any business processes. The automated software uses the same interface as a human worker. 

Following are the best RPA software existing in the market, which is given below:

UiPath

The UiPath is the global software company that develops a platform for Robotic Process Automation. It has become the first vendor of scale to bring together both the process mining and Robotic process Automation.

4. The UiPath is based on the SharePoint,  Kibana, and elastic search.	4. The Blue Prism tool is based on the C# programming language.	4. Automation Anywhere is based on Microsoft technologies.
5. The web-based Orchestrator connects automated tasks into the interconnected workflow. It accomplishes the goal with permission oversights and policy enforcement, so the UiPath has a web Orchestrator architecture.	5. Client-Server architecture is a network architecture in which each computer or process is on the network, either a client-side or a server-side. So, multiple clients can be connected to a single server and perform several numbers of tasks. Blue Prism has Client-server architecture.	5. Automation Anywhere has Client-server architecture.
6. In UiPath, the user does not require any programming skills because it offers a simple dashboard with basic functionalities so, anyone can easily understand and analyze the business problems to design the Automation for the benefit of any organization.	6. Blue Prism requires programming to manage business objects.	6. For Automation Anywhere, the user needs a little bit of knowledge of coding to use the activities.
7. The accessibility of UiPath is based on the Mobile and browser.	7. The accessibility of Blue Prism is application based.	7. Its accessibility is also application based. Both are accessed through apps.

Functionalities of RPA tools

Any RPA tool that the user chooses must perform the following three functionalities which are given below:

• The Bot (automated programs) needs to interact with different systems via Screen Scraping or API integrations.
• The Bot can make decisions and define the actions that are based on the input gathered from other systems.
• Bot requires an interface for programming purposes.

Criteria list for selecting the RPA tool

There are some specified criteria, on the basis of which the user selects the RPA tools as per his requirement.

The criteria list for selecting the RPA tool is given below:

1. Technology

Different types of organization perform their day to day tasks outside the local desktop by using the Citrix or virtual machines. The tool which is selected by the user must be platform-independent and should support any application.

2. Security

The security is the most important parameter of any development. Before the selection of the RPA tool, the user needs to measure the implementation of security controls.

3. Total Cost of Ownership

Each RPA tool needs some cost so that the user can get the ownership of that tool. Every tool includes the initial setup cost of the RPA system, ongoing vendor license fees, and maintenance cost. The user must consider all these costs when he wishes to select the tool.

4. Scalability

Scalability means the response speed of the tool according to the business requirements. So, when the user selects any RPA tool, it must include how quickly and easily the tool can respond to the industry's requirements.

The Scalability of any RPA tool also depends on how quickly and easily the user can create changes, exceptions, or increase the business operations.

5. Vendor Experience

The vendor experience improves the speed of implementation by decreasing the work, which is required to implement the RPA software.

6. Ease of use and control

The RPA tool chosen by the user must be user-friendly to increase both efficiency and employee satisfaction. All RPA tools are easy to use the solution that requires less training and have better ease of control.

7. Maintenance and Support

The vendor has to follow the support model to ensure that the user meets the required service level agreements.

8. Quick deployment

The tools which are selected by the user should be able to help the real end-user to interact with the applications at the presentation layer. The presentation layer is using the screens, validation, and business rules as they are presented via a virtual desktop.

Selecting the RPA tools

There are some parameters or criteria for choosing RPA tools. The user should know when to choose which tool. The diagram given below shows the best choice as per the user's need.

In this image, we are presenting six fields and the types of tools according to the field so that the user can understand easily.
