We started using AI in Document Understanding by leveraging it against our models for different documents from our customers, primarily in the finance space. We have also used AI to train models for land management documents, helping them learn as we receive new document types. Recently, we've used it to analyze documents and articles online to understand sentiment toward our company. We analyze and summarize things people say in articles or posts elsewhere, which allows us to collect industry trend data. We are considering using Clipboard AI for smaller, ad-hoc data processing tasks because it can sometimes be more effective than Document Understanding.

Our primary use case for UiPath revolves around document imaging, specifically scraping data off documents and digitizing them. We only use it in our accounting department and haven't expanded it to the rest of the company. We've seen some success with the projects on the financial team, but we might be resource-constrained to get other departments involved. It's hard for them to adapt to new technologies.
We have done work for customer success by collecting information from various sources such as email, IVR, and chat. Our solution performs classification, sentiment analysis using the AI of UiPath, and then data validation and posting. We've implemented this for one of the biggest banks in India.

Our use cases for UiPath AI and automation are diverse and cover a number of functional areas within our business. We are doing everything from building simple to medium to complex RPAs. We have started utilizing communication mining and have a unique use case leveraging document understanding. Essentially, we are getting our feet wet across the board.
We have been using UiPath for almost the last five years in the industry, where a lot of research development, and clinical trials are happening. Many of the processes are centered around clinical trials, especially around translation. Being a global company, we conduct a lot of clinical research involving various languages and regulations. Earlier, we were outsourcing translation services, which presented security and timing challenges. With UiPath, we built bots that collect clinical trial documents from various sources and translate them into the desired language, ensuring security and faster delivery. We no longer need to outsource, and translations are now super fast, sometimes within hours.

I currently work for a data center company serving real estate clients. Our primary use case for UiPath involves large-scale automation using Document Understanding to process invoices. I have two models running. One is for our general invoices, including everything we pay for people coming on-site at all data centers worldwide. There's a separate model for utilities. Accuracy in our utilities spending is crucial for our data center business, where power costs are passed on to customers. Currently, we still use traditional machine learning from when we initially developed these models three years ago. However, we are creating a company strategy to implement GenAI and deal with the legal implications. GenAI is something we're considering as an enhancement to our document processing and data collection. We're still trying to figure out how that happened. We're figuring out which documents and data to include in an internal model and draw conclusions from. When working with data, our top priority is ensuring that the data is updated, accurate, and well-maintained. There's a structure involved because a ton of our information is in SharePoint, which is a mess. We have two SharePoint sites for every employee.

One of our simpler UiPath use cases involves running an SQL query, copying the results into a spreadsheet, and then emailing them to the appropriate people. We also have a third-party system for parking at the hospital. Visitors need to fill out a web form, and the automation process kicks in once the web form is filled out. The data is input into a database and then automatically processed in bundles. The form is filled out automatically for them, and it batches every thirty minutes.
We're an insurance company, so we use UiPath to enter customer and policy data. Four of us work on the data side of bot development, which is our department's priority. We have multiple inflows of different ideas and use cases coming from various departments that ensure the company runs smoothly and efficiently. Implementations and updates allow for frequent email communications on Monday mornings weekly. Our team sends out email notifications if anything significant is urgent. We're still working on some of the aspects that we're looking to solve by attending this event. We've got some integrations that UiPath provides.
For two years, I have focused on automating workflows related to processing documents in formats like PDF, Excel, and CSV. Using the document understanding feature, we have handled forecast orders and purchase order invoices. If you use input files like Excel, PDF, and CSV, we can automate file validation, such as checking data accuracy, format compliance, or missing information. It's integrated with Boomi, so after the files are validated, they're sent to Boomi for further processing. Boomi provides us with the RTF file, and we use UiPath to validate its contents and correctness. It automates the process of converting the RTF file into an Excel file. Another process is remittance, where we can get files from clients, validate them, and submit them to the credit managers for correction.
I piloted the introduction of UiPath to my team with two projects. The first, domain monitoring, automated our ten-plus Pega applications' quarterly security and health checks. We designed an architecture that could be mapped across all domains, streamlining the process to run weekly instead of quarterly. This provided timely reports on application health via Webex. The second project was a more straightforward test suite automation for another UI-based application. These two successful pilot projects showcased the capabilities of UiPath, with the domain monitoring still in use today.

We use UiPath to automate ERP and CRM portal processes, integrate them with SAP and various external applications, gather data, and perform functions to generate reports. UiPath enables us to carry out numerous activities, and its usage is not limited to a single variable but rather multiple ones. UiPath's primary goal is to enhance the scalability and accuracy of daily tasks within any organization. The core concept behind UiPath is to boost productivity by mimicking human actions, automating repetitive tasks and freeing up time for individuals to focus on other activities.
We primarily use the solution for automation purposes in our various departments, including ticketing customer service and operations concerning numbers, such as statistics.
Our team manages RPA licensing, including evaluating other tools besides UiPath. We consider factors like upcoming automation reports and license renewal costs when deciding between UiPath, Power Automate, or other options. By comparing features and licensing expenses, we make informed choices about which RPA tool best suits our needs. UiPath handles our invoice processing and a variety of ERP tasks, including automating processes in SAP and Oracle. We also leverage it for some portal interactions and other invoice-related functionalities. We use the UiPath orchestrator platform.
UiPath is a business automation platform that allows us to design and implement rule-based automation across various applications. In essence, we define the rules and conditions e.g., for processing data in a CRM system, and UiPath automates the entire workflow. Beyond processing, UiPath can also automate tasks like document reading, data entry, and system updates e.g., price changes. In our specific role within the telecom domain, we might use UiPath for design integration, network optimization, and other tasks defined by our business rules. It's important to remember that successful automation requires well-defined rules, test data, and an evaluation of scalability and return on investment. UiPath's strength lies in its ability to integrate with various applications, including Office 365, CRM systems, and HR applications, as long as these applications have a user interface with identifiable elements or objects.

The use cases are quite broad. UiPath is used in customer contact centers, supply chain management, operations, etc. It is useful for the intelligent automation of task-oriented processes.
We use it to automate repetitive processes. We are also using it to manage people and costs. I have used it for automation in telecommunication, HR, and finance. I have also done two projects for IT. It is a combination. I have worked on all these different projects.
We are using UiPath to automate many processes. In my first job, I worked on billing and ticketing. We were automating the process for ticketing and billing for audit. The robot was responsible for auditing the process of an application. It was responsible for calculating the difference between the amount deposited by the visitors and the amount calculated and predicted by the application. It would then decide if it was the correct currency or not. Currently, I am working on many applications, but the classic ones are where we are reading data from Excel or databases and then clarifying the data or closing some billings. I am also working on the process of taking some reservations on some sites. I also sometimes use it to automate something on my personal laptop.

We needed a solution for users that had too many manual tasks. We're in a large bank, and there are tasks like account opening or other items that can be automated using the UiPath system. It can handle auditing as well.
We are a partner of UiPath and a system integrator for our clients. For most clients, we tend to begin by focusing on areas with the highest potential for automation. This typically includes finance, procurement, or HR functions, with the first two being the most common choices. These areas are chosen because their processes are generally stable and repetitive, making them ideal starting points for RPA implementation. However, our experience doesn't end with just one client. We've had numerous engagements, including with large, multi-company groups. Once one division like the "glass division" successfully implemented RPA, it often sparked interest in other divisions like the pharmaceutical division. Demonstrating a solid proof of concept makes it easier to scale the technology to diverse use cases across the organization. Ultimately, overcoming the initial hesitation and showcasing the tool's benefits is crucial. Once the value becomes apparent, a shift often occurs, transitioning from a client-driven demand to a proactive push from various departments eager to eliminate tedious manual tasks.
I am working for a client. I am using on-premises UiPath Orchestrator. I have installed UiPath Studio and deployed some processes for automation. I have used it for SAP automation, Excel automation, and web automation. I have not yet used the AI functionality. I might use it in the future.

We are working on a project for a billing company in the US that takes care of patient records for a hospital and saves them on a website. We are handling the patient billing system. We have an email as input at the start of the automation. The bot reads the input. In the input, we have the patient's name and date of birth. The bot searches the patient's name in the EMR hospital application and gets the PDF from the application. We have put some filters on the application. In the PDF, we have a patient's details and a record of their visits and the issues they are having. The bot then uploads the PDF on a website. We process multiple records. There could be 2,000 pages or 500 pages. It varies based on the patient. For example, an 80-year-old might visit the hospital once or twice a week and will have a bigger file with notes and pictures of their visits.

We are a partner of UiPath, so we have various clients in different industries. Currently, we are processing vendor statements to create payments in NetSuite. We also have a three-way match cache application process, and then we have a basic user interface for scraping vendors' websites for payment data and that kind of thing. We are trying to figure out how to incorporate LOMs with everyday processes and get reliable information back. We are also training a lot of machine learning models to extract data from PDFs along with processing contracts. I hope that those get easier to train and that there are more reliable answers or outputs from the models that we train.
We use UiPath across a diverse range of functions and departments, encompassing accounting, human resources, loan servicing, employee progress tracking, and loan origination.

I have been in three different organizations working with UiPath. In all of them, I had to create the center of excellence for UiPath. For automation, we decided to use UiPath because it was easy to learn. We had citizen developers involved. Most of the use cases were typical manual repetitive tasks and did not involve too much intelligence. I did not use the AI components in any of the use cases that I have done in the past. We mainly had end-to-end automation of simple processes. They were not too complex. I have worked in the energy sector, and there were processes that were connected to renewable energy projects, but they were not related to a good cause, such as improving sustainability. We also had processes that did not provide any financial gains for the company, but they improved the motivation of employees. For example, we automated a process to check employees' birthdays and sent an email congratulating the person and tagging their manager as well. There were no financial gains, but it had a good impact on employees.
We use UiPath for SAP automation, detecting document sections, web automation, and external applications. We use both UiPath RPA and UiPath Document Understanding. UiPath Document Understanding is for data extraction, while we use UiPath RPA for basic purposes and use .NET. We also used UiPath once to automate processes dealing with good causes, particularly in Ecolab. The company dealt with floor cleaners and hand sanitizers for hospitals in the US, and at that time, the demand for sanitizers and floor cleaners was through the roof. It was so high that we had to automate processes using UiPath to fulfill the number of orders coming in, for instance, thirty thousand orders a day. We use UiPath in multiple departments, such as HR, Procurement, and Manufacturing.

We have many use cases, but the primary ones are on the finance side for intelligent automation. We use it for system updates and system manipulations.
I work on database automation. We just delivered a dynamic workflow in an Excel automation as well. We work on many types of formulas. In addition, we develop physical automation. For example, we created a process that posts many photos at once on many groups.
We utilize UiPath to manage workflows and deploy application solutions into our customers' environments. UiPath simplifies various business tasks, such as automating applications, Excel, and segregating data. We deploy UiPath both on-premises and in the cloud depending on the customer requirements.

I use UiPath for invoice processing. We download all the invoices from our application and then send them individually to the respective customers via email. This involves email automation and automation of the user interface.
I am a developer, and I use UiPath to extract PDFs for invoices and logistics in the banking industry. UiPath can be deployed either on-premises or in the cloud, depending on the customer's requirements.

We utilize UiPath to automate manual and repetitive tasks that range from simple Excel manipulations to web scraping. We have several use cases related to refinancing, such as handling accounts payable for invoice processing, remittances, and accounts receivable, among others. In addition to that, UiPath enables us to develop public-facing applications that are integrated with automation. This automation is triggered automatically whenever there are user interactions or events, resulting in numerous use cases. For instance, if the requested data is not already available in the document, we can obtain input from customers using UiPath. Furthermore, we employ UiPath products for automatic invoice processing. When we receive invoices in PDF format, we digitize them using our own OCR engine. Subsequently, this information can be utilized to save data into systems like SAP. We extensively automate ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, and NetSuite. We also use UiPath for application testing. We have built several test cases for suppression, user acceptance, and so on, which can be scheduled to run or run on demand.
50 percent of our business involves Digital Integration Automation, specifically in the banking and finance sectors. In this domain, we automate various processes, primarily focusing on banking processes such as lending and loan administration. Our operations primarily revolve around the core banking systems of the banks. Essentially, we maintain complex systems and infrastructure utilizing over 20 automation robots through UiPath. We deploy on-premises, in the cloud, and also utilize hybrid models.

One of the use cases is related to material billing. For the material billing process, previously, when a vendor invoice came into our SAP system, our staff had to write invoice data and process the invoice. We transferred this process to RPA. We now have only one robot focusing on this project. It handles about 120 invoices in a month. We have not yet used UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. We are always thinking about using AI and machine learning in our development, but we have not had a project in which we could use AI. We might use it in the near future. It is deployed on-prem, but we are thinking about changing it to the cloud.

I have used UiPath for multiple use cases, such as data entry processes or extracting information from emails to certain applications. I have also used it for financial processes like invoicing and analytics, and there are IT applications like user onboarding.
UiPath is an end-to-end automation tool that helps businesses accelerate their processes by providing solutions for automating routine activities. These solutions enable faster and more efficient business exchanges.
We do workflow automation for some of the functions such as form-filling or filtering data accession on the client's web application. We use UiPath RPA for data accession and other processes. We have done workflow automation that: * Opens a client's website. * Filters out the current data. * Lists out all the records that need to be processed. * Opens each record. * Enters the details gathered from a spreadsheet or somewhere else. * Submits the application. It does that for all these users that have been filtered out. That's why we're using UiPath.
My company builds software for various businesses, and we use UiPath to automate data entry, perform repetitive tasks, and develop and deploy the software. We also use UiPath for document management, reporting, and analytics. We use UiPath in multiple departments, including marketing and analytics. There are 17 users. Most of them are software engineers and developers, but our entire executive team also has access.

We have done a lot of things with UiPath for different customers. I have done Java application automation and PDF automations. We use it for all kinds of automation. For example, for one client, we're working on invoice processing, supply-chain automation, and their technical services.
We were looking for robotic process automation and we have been trying the UiPath Community Edition. We mainly need to automate day-to-day activities related to wireless connections, such as our WiFi device registration process. We currently have three to four employees currently doing this process and it is really time-consuming. We want a bot to do these repetitive procedures. We will be doing the same procedure for server-side configurations as well for repetitive Windows-based processes. We are looking to save most of the system admin headaches.
We have two primary use cases. We use UiPath to scrape data from multiple websites and platforms, mainly for competitive intelligence and internal use. The other use case is basic automation, that is, moving files from one system to another when there is no direct integration. Through UiPath and leveraging RPAs, we pull data from one system, for example, an S3 bucket or Google Drive, and put it into our database.

We use UiPath to make processes. In addition to UiPath Studio, the platform that develops processes, UiPath includes other applications like Orchestrator, AI Center, Test Suite, Action Center, etc. I had the opportunity to work with UiPath Studio to develop and deliver processes to clients and scheduled them in production using the Orchestrator. I had the chance to automate many platforms in Excel, emails, et cetera. I developed around 20 processes. I work with many medium-sized and large enterprises and a few small ones. Typically, the clients send us their PCs, and we work on their infrastructure. My clients usually have many departments, and all of them use UiPath. I use Orchestrator in the cloud, but clients, like banks, prefer the on-prem version because of security constraints. For me, there is no significant difference between the Orchestrator in the cloud and on-prem. We can schedule and maintain robots. They have essential common functionalities.
I implement UiPath for other companies. My specialization is software integration and digital transformation. I also manage UiPath for some organizations. We're a digital marketing agency that helps companies undergo a digital transformation for data and analytics. We help them automate marketing and data analysis for researchers and the organization itself. The primary use case is to help the marketing department collect data about user experience and interaction. We also automate repetitive IT work and connect it with marketing. In other words, we extract data from the IT operations to use for marketing purposes. UiPath is also used in every department to reduce manual work. UiPath has workflows and templates for every use case. We use nearly all of them in all departments with pre-configured templates and workflows, but we mainly use UiPath for IT operations, marketing, and finance. And the three are our primary use for it. We build the procedures and generate automation. We use public, private, and hybrid clouds, but we mainly use public and hybrid clouds for our services. It depends on the client, but sometimes it's private.

The beauty of RPA is that it has many different use cases. We use the product as a standalone and as part of a bigger solution. Obviously, the tool itself is designed to automate activities that humans would do. But as the tool is getting smarter, we are able to do more types of activities. There were two big challenges in the early days. One was the complexity of the rules that you needed to adopt for a particular task and the other was the type of data that was being used as part of the business process. As we've gone along, the product has evolved and allows us to do more of the business process.
Start small and then excel it is important for the Organization to increase the awareness and literacy about RPA.
1. You will need to start with Task Automation in most of your initials automation. ( Don't think big to start or else you will end up with only discussion no conclusions)
2. These tasks will be tied up to some part of the business process. ( Please see the tips below)
3. Focus only on task automation with a simple rule of targeting tasks that consume a lot of time of your IT/Business Users.
4. As a quick win go ahead with IT automation cases 1st and they easily help to spread awareness within the business by doing Show-n-Tell session with business.
5. It took me 2 IT RPA cases as our 1st quick win and took me 41 sessions with business users from various departments to get the pipeline for RPA cases.
6. If you follow this mantra you will soon see the results flooded with RPA opportunities - we have 40+ Identified cases and 175+ cases on task automation for ERP.
Please find attached snapshots :
1. How to Choose a correct RPA case: drive.google.com 2. RPA Case automation life cycle as you mature -> Task -> Component -> Sub-Process -> Process: drive.google.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Tip:
1. Identify RPA cases which are Highly-repetitive, Highly manual, Too many FTEs required.
2. Information intensive activity: Copying, pasting and validating data between systems, portals, application, pdf/excel files etc.
3. Rigorous keystrokes and mouse clicks, Hopping between applications
4. Any mind-numbing office task that kills time and energy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our primary use of this solution, as a company, was to eliminate or at least simplify and reduce the number of boring, repetitive administrative tasks that take our precious time. We are a business consulting company and lots of clients try to contact us on multiple channels that we are available on. Our company, in partnership with UiPath, implemented an unattended robot that saves our time and energy. We call it our colleague that works independently, full time and helps us without requiring emotional support.

We started using UiPath for our finance department where it provides us fantastic capabilities by automating one of the processes that is running overnight, a process which includes non-variable and repetitive tasks. Using SAP, as part of our regular operations, we have to submit some account details every night. We automated a process which was very time-consuming and structured, with rule-based tasks. Then we started with the sales department as well, on the promotion side. We are a beverage company and we have to set up promotions for our distributors and our customers. We have a third-party application that helps us with our promotions, but it's a very complicated application. We use UiPath to help automate parts of that application. These are two of the early and major processes which I have developed. As of now, we have more than 100 use cases which we have developed. Some are related to ServiceNow, some are related to SAP, and some are for Salesforce. We are using both its attended and unattended capabilities. We have more than 30 robot licenses, unattended and attended licenses. We are using their Automation Cloud.

We use robotic process automation to automate the business process of the company. We are using the Oracle JD Edwards. We have automated the HR process for the payroll and payslips. We used UiPath for the scanning of attachments and uploading/attaching them in the Oracle system automatically. Previously, we used to take a day or two in doing so. Most of the daily human errors are minimized. We used this for automated internal requests including automatic reconciliation instead of several clicks from the user and automatic correction of the master records or any change required.
I have been using UiPath in the healthcare area and right now, I am developing a healthcare project. I have also used it in retail projects and we have automated entire retail systems for vendors and customers. This has given them more reliable action and product services that are beneficial for both the organization and the user.

Our client wants to reduce their manual work, so they feel an automated solution would work better. The company has one staff member who is well-versed in automation, but they wanted us to suggest more solutions. We decided we should stick with UiPath since they are familiar with it. It's a local community bank with many feeds at the end of each business day. They have about 50 agents handling those feeds. The client caters to poor people in the community who tend not to trust banks. The community bank sends agents into the fields and shops. They show them a card and suggest that they save a certain amount of money each day. They collect it and take it in a book. They then have to bring the book back together with the money. They're helping the poorest of the poor to save money. Based on what they've saved, they can get a loan. The bank encourages customers to save, so they collect daily. They were bringing this data back to the office and entering it by hand. We showed them that UiPath could do all that for them. We prefer a cloud-based solution because we are a digital-transformation company. However, the client wanted to keep everything on-premises, so we needed to show the benefits of migrating to the cloud. In Africa, power is a problem. Energy costs a lot, and power outages can disappoint customers. In the end, we won them over by showing them the advantages of the cloud, so UiPath is deployed on the cloud. It's highly available, and they want their data to be accessible all the time. We have about 30 UiPath users, most of whom are IT Administrators. We use the generic term IT Administrators. The company is structured so anyone can be deployed anywhere at any time. We use UiPath extensively in the particular scenario that necessitated our initial use. If we get more clients seeking to reduce repetitive tasks, I believe we will continue to expand our usage.

We used this solution to automate monitoring, implement robots, and monitor the robots. We use it for network monitoring, ticketing systems, and remediation activities. This is a SaaS solution. This solution is mostly used by network engineers in managed services. The engineers look after telecom networks, and they are the end users. For automation, a sizable team of developers, specialized automation developers, and solution architects used the solution. There were about 20 ERP developers and 10 solution architects. We plan to automate some of the business processes regarding financial reporting.
My primary use case with UiPath is to automate workflows for processes in web-based applications, such as email and Excel automation. We also use it as a task or workflow management tool, capable of assigning tasks, checking on the status of tasks, and more. Another thing that I have been doing with UiPath is replacing repetitive tasks performed within the organization. Automating such tasks makes the related process smoother and faster. We are using the UiPath automation cloud offering, which is a SaaS solution. One advantage to this type of environment is that we can get updates instantly. If it were an on-premises or hybrid model then the setup and maintenance take time, but this isn't the case with a SaaS model. This instant setup is what we needed because it made for a smooth transition from manual processes to automation.

We suggested UiPath for one of our company's clients to automate DevOps processes. This is a part the company doesn't want to touch. They tried automating with Ansible Playbook and Terraform. We wanted to eliminate human intervention altogether. We are still transitioning from dev to staging and then production. We have done most of the research. We will move from staging to production if it works with our architecture and can be scaled. Our client is one of the biggest companies out there. There are maybe a million users worldwide. They primarily focus on the Asia-Pacific region, but there are also users in Europe and the Americas. The client has several web applications and a hybrid structure. Some data are on the cloud, while other data is on the on-premise servers. We created solutions for them over the years. We have an SI and DevOps team working in parallel for years. Our goal was to automate everything that could happen without intervention.
We use the solution to speed up automation. We were looking to overcome the challenge of handling vast amounts of data, and we use UiPath to create bots to handle that. Tasks can be automated, and human error is reduced.
We are working with automation, and it is very useful for my enterprise and our clients. We are using UiPath for building applications for automation purposes. Some of our clients are in the banking industry. They ask us to create applications to automate their processes, and we use UiPath for that.

We have ERP, CRM, chatbots, etc. We are using this solution to integrate different systems. I use UiPath Studio to develop the code, and I use UiPath Orchestrator to publish my work. We have our own UAT systems to test the code. We can install the UiPath in the test environment and find all the compilation errors in the debug mode and fix them. We also have version control. If we upload a version and it doesn't work, we can downgrade the version. Everything is tracked in UiPath Orchestrator. We are using it on-premise. In my previous company, it was on the cloud, and we accessed it through the cloud.

We have plenty of processes that need to be automated, including IT processes like user onboarding. We need to create profiles across all systems for every user that joins the company. There are also custom processes. For example, there is an insurance process when our company leases a vehicle and also a loan creation process. We need to automate internal hospitalization claims. UiPath handles all of the associated data and document automation. We use UiPath with Aviro for document automation. We use UiPath's drag-and-drop APIs, but not much because we only have three APIs connected to UiPath. We aren't using AI or machine learning because the AI applications weren't available when we deployed and our current license doesn't include UiPath AIs. In the future, we plan to use AI. Our current goal is to automate all the old departments. We've done about eight departments, and four more are in progress. After we complete this part, we'll implement the AIs. Until then, we're just working with the existing features. We use the on-premises version of UiPath, with all the servers running through on-premises platforms. We have separate database and application platforms and a robot that runs through the VM, so we have a separate VM blade for that entire robot. We also have another data warehouse for that storing that data. We currently run on 19.4.4, but we plan to upgrade to 21.10 in the near future. The latest version doesn't support Internet Explorer, but our co-banking system only runs on IE platforms. We need to rebuild our operations before switching to the new version. That will take some time because several large processes need to be automated. Until then, we will continue using 19.4.4.
It serves our day-to-day work. The product is used for robotic process automation. We have some manual tasks that we need to automate so that we can save our organization costs and manpower, and we use UiPath to help us do this.
My domain and expertise are in life sciences. In life sciences there is a process called pharmacovigilance, which involves monitoring the effects of medical drugs after they have been licensed for use. I create end-to-end automations, for case processing and full data entry. The customer will store details in an Oracle-based pharmacovigilance platform called Argus, where clinical data from the client and the product are stored. The UiPath bot has to capture the cases from Argus. Once a case has been input into UiPath, a mandatory status check, duplicate search, and case processing have to be done. It then needs to perform full data entry in Argus. The full data entry consists of more details like patient information, product information, event information, and so on. The bot needs to validate and input those details into Argus and save the case. Some days there will be 1k records and on other days, there will be 2k records. On average the bot will process 12k to 13k records.
I use it for automating activities and processes in my company, and for discovering new automation opportunities. UiPath is my main tool for automating every process in business operations. One of my main use cases for UiPath is around service desk and support center operations. I use it to take tickets from customers and users and automate answers using UiPath's machine learning. It links the questions to documentation where we already have answers. I also use it for automating invoices with the pricing and other information and sending them to customers when they buy an item. In addition, when somebody subscribes to a newsletter I have set up a process to send an email in reply.
My primary use case is automation. I worked in multiple companies with the same product on the same profile, and most of them were automation. The actual business use case would vary from company to company, and project to project as well.

One of the projects we have been working on is for a medical company. It includes fetching medical records from the company's web-based portal. These records have to be pasted into Excel and consolidated. We then send them back to the client via email. We use Orchestrator to schedule the process to run every day at three intervals. It is running as an unattended bot. We have also used it for another company to help with their employee onboarding process.
We are a service-based development company and we implement automation for our clients. UiPath is one of the RPA solutions that we use for this. A recent use case that we implemented for a client involved a macro in an Excel sheet. The macro contained approximately 1,000 lines, and it was being used in an Excel spreadsheet about 10 pages long. They had dropdowns within the sheet that had to be set, depending on the action. They also had to work with some of the logic themselves. With UiPath, we implemented a solution where the bot will create a task. It first checks to see if all of the necessary conditions are there. If they are, then the bot will automatically run the macro. If instead, some of the values are missing and user input is required, then the bot will create a new task to request the missing items from the user. It uses the UiPath forms and the client will receive an email to say that a task has been created and that it will be completed once the necessary values are selected. Finally, once all of the values have been selected, the bot will run, use the input, and complete the execution of the macro. A second use case for us was done using the Action Center. In this case, our clients send emails, and we have API calls that are done in response. Once an email comes in, a message ID is created and assigned to it, then it is turned into a Queue item. At that point, the user is presented with different actions that are dictated by the content of the email. Depending on the user's selection, there are three or four paths that it can take. Ultimately, the bot will send an ETA and some request data to the appropriate parties, which is controlled by yet another process.
I'm not currently using UiPath, but in my previous organization, which I left seven months ago, we had a complex trading application that included a web form and a Windows form. And on the Windows form was an Electron framework. If you want to run a web application inside a Windows application, Electron is a bridge between the web application and the actual Windows app. Because it was a complex application, it was not very easy to automate. That's where UiPath came in. It perfectly fit our automation testing scenario.
At my company, we automate everything, including the ERP. It's for logistics as well as the production. 90% of our use case is automating SAP and the bonus software.
We are handling millions of users' data that comes in via raw formats, like PDFs, invoices, hard copies, et cetera, and we have to capture that data into our applications so that it can be transformed into usable data for the users. We use UiPath to develop bots to analyze and capture the information in the required format, and to automatically upload and enter the data into Excel.

We have two use cases. One is for our claim accessing process, for which I have developed a process for logging into the client's application. It includes launching the browser and getting logged into the application by entering the username and password and handling two-step verification. Handling that requires some logic. Once logged in, it navigates to the claim status feed and selects the organization's and payer's details. It then enters the required details of the patients. These details are given by the client in an Excel document that the process reads. It searches for the values, one-by-one. If there is no record for the patient whose details are entered, it will throw an error stating that there are no claims present. It captures such exceptions and records them in a separate Excel file. If that person's claim is present, it fetches 25 to 35 key details from that record and they are written to an Excel document. Once the process is done, the Excels will be sent as email attachments to the client. The second process that I am currently developing is one where I need to get the data from Google Sheets. This process involves four or five practice management systems. It has to log into each practice management system and, for each one, it needs to schedule appointments based on the data present in the Google Sheet. The process involves navigating to the respective screens, filtering the details, and entering them in a CSV file. Based on that file, we have all the data related to patients' records. The process checks the patients' payment records. There are exception-handling routines and any errors are noted in an Excel sheet. Once all the patients' records have been completed, it closes the application and sends the data to the respective clients. It produces a log file in Excel as an attachment, as well.

The solution has provided assistance with the removal of repetitive human transactional activities; document to text solutions; complex data extractions; cut and paste operations; information content management. This is either supported in promoting strategies with our business partners, or implemented at our clients, or included in products we develop for our clients. We use it in our own operations that have been migrated to other products or solved with coding or third-party software offering solutions to specific needs. Solutions are based on client sites and our clients pay for their own licensing.
Our primary UiPath use case is reconciling data and getting data from the web and writing to either Excel or our system. The automations are very reliable.

My experience in using UiPath, in general, is in developing traditional bots, assisted bots. There are the typical mundane applications that we're trying to remove in order to add value to customers. The solution is used for extracting information from documents and consolidating data, maybe from various Excel sheets. I've used applications, such as PDF, Tableau, and a number of different entities as well. It varies.

Our primary use cases are in our financial department. We had a bit of a downturn, but we still had work that needed to be completed. So we developed several automations to manage a lot of the financial work and a lot of our payment processing systems. We expanded that out to include more of our traders' work processes, just because we saw there were a lot of workloads coming in and a lot of repetitive work. So we used UiPath to eliminate a lot of that for our commercial traders, then we did the same thing for our operations and production teams so that they have their own automated processes. We plan on scaling it and using it in more functions.
Currently, we are using it for reading emails. We download the attachments that we get in emails. After downloading those Excel sheets attachments, we process the data based on a few rules. The processed data is input into the SAP application. In the SAP application, based on the business rules, we process the data and commit.
I am a software developer and I am a full-time RPA developer for my company. We create automation for internal purposes as well as for our clients. I have implemented 15 to 16 processes end-to-end that cover use cases including Excel, front-end web-based applications, backend Windows applications, and sometimes Citrix. I have also done some Adobe Flash Player automation. The REFramework (Enhanced Robotic Enterprise Framework) is what we use for most of our use cases. We are using Studio for development on-premises and we use Orchestrator in the cloud.
For a current client, we have around 22 to 25 use cases, and it's all based on the financial side of things. The client is in finance, and we have use cases all of which are comprised of different tools, including SAP and their in-house CRMs. It's about automating the process where we take some data from the CRM tool and upload it to SAP. It also involves uploading the files to the FTP server. For example, one use case is where the applications used are Oracle, and SAP, and STP. We just download the data from Oracle. There are different files that we download from Oracle and upload to the FTP server. From that FTP server, there is a different team that takes those files and creates a Tableau dashboard.

I work for a banking company. We use UiPath for tracing and collecting customer's credit information. We also use it to deploy a bot when clients have specific requests for changes to their information or accounts. We're able to change their service via these requests. We can also remove some processes of manual intervention. We've deployed bots across various processes. We have been able to remove human intervention for multiple processes and have seen a general improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness. We used to handle dashboards manually. Now we've turned customers into kind of specialists in that, whenever they want to change something, such as adding debit, or opening/closing accounts, changing addresses, et cetera, they can handle it. They no longer have to push that request through us and have us intervene. They can do it themselves using the bots.

UiPath was used in-house in my first company for automating processes. We had deployed it on-premise. In my current company, we are giving UiPath automation as a service. We help companies with automation. We set up UiPath from scratch and help them achieve their automation goals or strategies. As a service, we have done on-premises and cloud deployments. From a service perspective, we deal with a lot of clients who are predominantly in the oil and gas sector and energy sector. They have SAP systems for their ERP, and their use cases mostly revolve around automating SAP processes such as invoice automation, joint venture reconciliation, balance sheet reconciliation, and intercompany netting. So, the use cases usually revolve around the finance tasks, but sometimes, we have also seen use cases related to the supply chain and planned maintenance, such as purchase order closures, work order closures, and comparison of the work order plan with the deviations. In terms of the version, we always have the latest version. I've also used 19.4 and 20.4 on-premise versions.

I am a service provider and developer who implements UiPath for our clients. But in the company that I work for, we also use UiPath to make invoices for ourselves and, mainly, for payroll activities. We need to get reports from our HR tool and combine them with another source of information where employees are recording the hours they spent with various clients. We then create the documents needed for the IRS. In our case, all the users of UiPath are data entry specialists in different departments, such as HR, finances, and marketing.
We have a cross-platform infrastructure, where two servers are sitting. We have Orchestrator, which we connect to our virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). In the VDI, we have a UiPath stationed. From India, I work for an Australian client. Previously, I worked for a European client. In order to work with the client network, we have a dedicated Wipro laptop. In that Wipro laptop, we log in and connect via the VDI. In that VDI, we have UiPath Studio. Using UiPath Studio, we are doing development for the client and automating functional business processes. We are extracting data from Salesforce using a particular report that is sent by the business SMEs. We pick exact fields end-to-end, then we put these values into Salesforce. Next, we extract the value and data from Salesforce, putting that into an Excel application. After putting the return to Excel application, we generate a service request for the business and send transaction reports of the bot's performance and accuracy at the end of the day. The business was taking around four to five hours. Our robot takes around eight to nine minutes in order to automate this end-to-end automation. For another use case, there is an application that submits invoices for an insurance client in Australia. Right now, the business is doing this. Whereas, the bot operations reads a file on the hard drive, picks up that file, and puts it into SharePoint where the bot performs some operations. After doing those operations, the bot will report the status, whether it is valid, invalid, or an exception. When we get the file, we develop the application that submits the invoice. After that, we capture the data from the Excel application and submit a request. This is an end-to-end process. This bot only runs after business hours, five days a week, so it doesn't impact the application. With this process, we send daily transaction reports, the success ratio to the client, and present the entire picture to our peers and business holders. We have set up our own cloud, which is internal. UiPath has a different cloud. Per our governance, we are not allowed to use another cloud. We are using our hosted internal cloud, which is hosted on our internal servers in Australia.
I use this solution to automate business processes that are rule-based. This includes the automation of different applications and background processes, such as posting invoices.
I have worked on a number of use cases, and one of them that I can discuss was used in a contact center environment. This is a project that we had done for an automotive insurance company, and it had to do with incident management. Our contact center received the first notice of loss (FNOL) from incidents, such as an accident. When an accident occurs, they raise a ticket to our customer service representative. This can either be done using a chatbot, which is integrated with our ServiceNow platform, or they can call the customer service representative. In the latter case, the customer service representative will pick up the call and get the details. This includes adding their insurance ID and a couple of other fields, and that is integrated into our system. Our system was acting as an intermediate between their existing platform and ServiceNow. Part of the system included a database, where they were checking to see if the insurance amount the claimant is asking for is above the limit. There were other similar business rules, as well, which the bot was responsible for checking. Based on the result of these checks, the claim was automatically approved, and then a corresponding ticket was raised in ServiceNow. There was also a manual process, where there was a person who would go to the site where the actual accident took place. They do their analysis, and then they create a review report, and that report would automatically be handled by an attended robot. The robot would take the detail from the agent and based on the review, fetch certain details like the approved amount. The bot is responsible for sending other information to ServiceNow, including, for example, details about damage to the vehicle. If there are scratches on the front or scratches on the back, then these details are all posted to ServiceNow. At that point, ServiceNow has a workflow that is initiated. The workflow uses the information taken by the representative and moves from the review stage to agent verification, and then to a mainframe. The system running on the mainframe is responsible for generating checks, according to the amount that is approved, and then mailing them to the claimant at the address they have on file.

In our organization, we are using UiPath as a service model. It is an on-premise model where UiPath is deployed on-premise. We are not using it on cloud services. We have a center of excellence that has been set up to communicate with UiPath for all the licenses, for all the tools, et cetera. Individual teams will connect and will communicate with the development team to get those licenses. For the team structure, we have a COE manager, and a COE is again communicating all the relevant information to the teams. First of all, you would have to go and submit an idea to the COE team. The COE team will review and see this is the correct candidate for our solution and we can leverage it as automation. They provide us with the required licenses and the cycle continues. The use-cases for the UiPath are limited. For example, if you are coming from a banking background, there would be use-cases it comes from the data solutions. If you are coming from an insurance background, would have use-cases where you would have benefits that are being reconciled. Healthcare might be dealing with patient data, et cetera. If I talk about the support teams, in general, the use-case for the UiPath is as a ticketing system, where you have a lot of data to add to the queue to remove the need to add items manually. UiPath has the ability to implement with multiple systems. You can extract the data from any other application, click the data to enter the specifications, and start the automation cycle. That way, you have a technology that helps you to build a fully automated enterprise. Our use case depends on the client and their needs. It's specific to their industry. We basically use the product to build automation for them.

I'm using the product primarily for building automation projects for shared services users. It's for internal customers. It's a shared services center for finance, HR, IT, and all processes like that. UiPath enables you to implement end-to-end automation starting with process analysis, then robot building, and finally the monitoring of automation. I use UiPath mainly for building a robot. I always use unattended bots. However, I also use it for task capture. I use the Task Capture feature a lot. It's pretty much a game-changer since Task Capture has become available, as creating documentation takes a lot less time than before. As for UiPath, I'm using it for building a solution and then testing using not only UiPath but also Orchestrator. In the end, we also use some document templates from UiPath. It's pretty much present all the way through the life of a project.
I am an automation lead in my company. I have eight to 10 people on my team. We do process automations, end-to-end automations, and any business application automations.

Our core business is BPO, which is Business Process Outsourcing. We have massive operations that we have to perform for our customers and we have a digital section of the company that is assisting with that. The digital section is relatively new, being no more than two years old. We are building a number of solutions and tools that our digital section is using, and RPA is one of these tools. The goal is to help our customers innovate and assist them with their digital transformation, ultimately making them more efficient and more profitable. This is possible because some of the processes are very repetitive and performing them with humans is a very bad choice. We have a hybrid environment, where some of our functionality is on-premises and some is on the cloud. For example, we have some cloud-based automation, and we use UiPath Apps, which is on the cloud. We had a successful use case at the beginning of the year where we needed to process a large number of invoices that had contained errors when they were originally sent to the customers. There were approximately 200,000 invoices and we had a deadline of four days to complete the task. It began with us developing the bot, which was completed in less than a day. After that, we sent the bot to our production environment to start processing the invoices. We were successful in the task, through the parallelism of 50 robots, we could process 5 invoices per second. We have some metrics that describe how long it would take the process to be completed manually. It takes a human an average of between 60 and 90 seconds to process just one invoice. We estimated that it would have taken approximately 125 days to complete this task manually, with between 250 and 300 people working on it together.
I am a part of an eCommerce company. Our company is separated across the country, and we have more than 30 locations/sales offices across the country. We have a couple of manual use cases that my team automated. One of those use cases is data entry. As an eCommerce company, we have a lot of data that we need to enter on time so that our customers can use and can order with it. We have a sales team of 20 people (out of 50 to 60 people) who are just doing promotions. For promotions, we need to analyze some financial analytics for the next month. Most of the time, there are various formulas in our Excel. Using UiPath, we have successfully automated this. This is a third-party tool where we just analyze all the promotions and sales per the market. Basically, we need to capture the price offered by our competitors, e.g., what is the price of their product? We need to analyze and set some good prices for our customers. UiPath helps us to accept all the information from over the web, putting it into Excel and saving it. We have a weekly activity, and UiPath helps us accept the data within five or six hours. We just accept the data from our competitors' sites and analyze all the information, then we set our prices. Therefore, this is a wonderful tool for processes, which we have automated in our area recently. We are using both attended and unattended automation. We are using Automation Cloud as well as doing work on Microsoft Azure.
We are using UiPath primarily for unattended automation. We are automating processes for business functions like finance and go-to-market. We have Orchestrator which is hosted on the cloud and we also have UiPath deployed on-premises. We have three different instances of Orchestrator: one for development, one for staging, and one for production.

We are a small but global company. We are about 1,200 people. We are a logistics company, and most of our employees work in our warehouses. So, our office workers are somewhere between 400 to 500 across the globe. Being a logistics company, we are maybe a little bit old-fashioned. There are a lot of papers going back and forth, and we are trying to automate different scenarios. We cater provisions to ships, so we are basically a grocery store for ships. One important thing is when a ship is going into port somewhere, they put in an order for whatever provisions they need for when they leave port again. So, we need to be quick at expediting their orders. When they put in a request for a quote for whatever products they need, we need to respond very quickly, because the tendency is that whoever responds first gets the order. So, we want to do that. We are trying to sort of increase the speed of those types of operations as well as the quality of them. It is hard to really pinpoint what it is we are doing, but it's the communication between customers. When we receive a communication from a customer, we want to move the process through our company as quickly as possible and with high quality. We are fairly new to UiPath still. We do intend to use it company-wide and have started out with purely unattended scenarios so far.
One of the use cases that I have recently completed is related to SAP and the interaction with Excel and our internal application. We are going with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP application and we used UiPath to help in this area, and were able to do so within a few days. Some of our people are going for process automation and some are doing desktop automation.
We develop and deploy use cases in the area of the cloud. We have deployed over 100 use cases. Most of our use cases are related to SAP applications, web applications, and mainframe applications. One use case example is related to mainframe applications. The bot monitors mainframe applications 24/7. If there are any new jobs, they are identified, then the bot changes the status of the job to differentiate it. Previously, we are using the 2016 version of Orchestrator, then we upgraded to the 2018 version of Orchestrator. Some clients are deploying the 2020 version. It depends on the client. We suggest using a version back to clients, i.e., the 2019 version. We automate retail, sales, and agricultural services.
Most of our use cases are related to business, like reconciliation and reporting. Therein, they have some internal applications to automate SAP automation and Salesforce Automation. Our most recent use case is related to documents, like the invoices coming from customers. We have to extract that data from invoices via different formats, e.g., some are digital formats and some are scanned formats. So, we have to extract the data, which we are doing with the help of UiPath. We are using both attended and unattended automation. For 90 percent of our use cases, we are using UiPath for unattended automation. I use UiPath almost every day. When I finish developing one process, there is a new process to develop. If a process is complex, it almost takes six to eight weeks to develop it, then you have to deploy it for monitoring. After that, the next process comes up.

I have multiple use cases as part of this solution, since I work in different domains with different technologies and applications. We use attended and unattended bots. One use case was for a credit-based client where we worked on the UI automation of the application. We were using UiPath Automation Cloud because our team is spread across different geographical locations, like the U.S, APAC and EMEA regions. We had different RPA developers who are developing the script simultaneously and putting it on the system, and our business case was that we wanted to automate the UI applications. Since there were different developers in different geographical regions, they created the bots on their system. Due to the cloud offering, we were able to move the bots to production using a click of a button. There is also an Orchestrator offering as part of the cloud, which is hosted. Once we had a thorough peer review of the bots being developed, we pushed it to our production-ready cloud-based Orchestrator. From there, we use it to run the script. That is an unattended bot, which is also one of the features. Since it is a credit-based UI automation, there are some instances where manual intervention is required in order to see whatever data is sent out to the client, if it is in the correct order or not. That is why we use the unattended offering of UiPath. Both these technologies help us a lot in creating our production-ready implementation. For another use case, we did an implementation in the SAP application. It was a procure-to-payment (P2P) cycle, where a third party sends out the invoices which get fed into the SAP application, then it gets verified and goes out to the payroll team. Once that is verified by the payroll team, the payment is released to the concerned vendors. All these points of entry were being done manually: the third-party invoices entered into the SAP application, SAP verification, and the payroll team verification. Since it involved a lot of financial data, people were very hesitant to get it automated. However, since we had this UiPath offering, that initial hesitation was turned into a very good implementation of whatever we wanted to achieve as part of this UiPath automation. We were using the unattended bot as part of the cloud offering. We ran the processes at night from Orchestrator, so people working from home didn't need to stay up late in order to run the processes. Since we were using the cloud unattended bot service of UiPath, we were able to trigger the whole process in a single click of a button, which is amazing. As part of the UiPath offering, we have three offerings: Studio, StudioX, and Studio Pro. These three offerings are provided via cloud on a single system and installed on our laptops or desktops. I am working as a senior analyst. As part of this particular role, I have to cater to the client's needs if they want to get a UiPath implementation. Then, I do the consulting as part of the implementation. I also get involved in the PoC development and how we should use the cloud offering, e.g., what benefits are there.
We have a use case that involves an invoice billing process, where vendors from an external organization submit their details for the invoice. This automation works as expected, independently of anything else. It is also a good example of how we were able to scale RPA benefits in the company with the automation of a specific process that requires human-robot collaboration. Our internal tools include the database where all of this information is stored, and we have a second automation that is used by the billers in our organization to tally the data that includes details such as what each vendor has submitted to get their payments. We built a third automation in UiPath, which basically compares these first two. But, due to the complexity and the nature of the tally that has to occur, we require some human input in between certain steps. For these particular steps, we have developed a four-bot configuration. These are four separate bots that run and a couple of them have an attended automation part, where a human can intervene. It's a verification step, where the human can decide whether or not something is okay. Specifically, the bot compares two fields and if they match, then it's great, but if not, it triggers a request to a human user for manual verification. If they approve then it is marked as a successful verification. Because we use technologies like OCR, there are details that cannot always be interpreted properly. This is where we need an additional check, which is the reason that we have humans in the loop as part of the process.

We're mainly focused on finance for the time being so we've used UiPath for invoice processing and e-billing reconciliation. It makes sure that all of our converting information matches within our client databases. We've done a couple of solutions that track budget spend for certain clients, making sure that if the budget overruns or comes close to overrunning, then someone gets notified. If we get a new client or if a new legal case is opened, automation can make sure that all that information is then uploaded into our database. We've done a couple of smaller automations for the legal teams. These have been fairly basic ones though. There were a couple that download files from an email for them, and then rename them with the correct naming conventions, and saves them into correct drives. Another use case is to remove outdated users or information from our databases in line with the GDPR system.
Originally, we were using UiPath to draft documents and send emails on mass to where we had large communication exercises. We used a robot instead of a small army of paralegals to generate the documentation and draft up the emails where we had to communicate with 2,000 to 3,000 people. It was a little bit more involved than just doing a standard mail merge, but we were able to use UiPath to create a number of documents and email it to an individual customer, all through a central email address. Fast forward to where we are now, we have a few of these things focusing in on what we call post-completion activity, like the things you do after you sign a contract. So, it may be you're uploading it to the client's contract management system, applying stamps, or registering the contracts in an official register. The robot is able to do that for us post-completion. Those are our primary use cases at the moment. We're looking at more data integrity type stuff, like comparing our internal data sources against public record.
We have developed a product for a court of arbitration. UiPath provides the automation engine behind it. Our product is a platform that is live online. It allows a party to provide some contract information, and the robot assembles a document and communicates with DocuSign, our signature provider. It then sends out a correspondence to the other party and manages the signature process for a bespoke contract for an arbitration agreement. This is a service that we provide to the world, pro bono, as it were, to promote arbitration and the adoption of a particular arbitration clause. It's accessible to all. Parties can log in and it helps them to negotiate and conclude an arbitration agreement in a mediated fashion. The robot sends out email on behalf of a third-party, a court of arbitration, and it helps the parties get that agreement done. It's about concluding an arbitration agreement before the dispute goes any further.

We use it to automate searches in public databases. We have lawyers who need to search for various companies. For example, we are searching insolvency files for a list of business partners, so we use the robot to perform the search and notify clients about its results.

We are in healthcare, and the supply chain can be a fragmented process and now with the Pandemic quite fragile. In recent years, companies have been implementing leaner supply chains to reduce their costs. We found that our best approach to dealing with supply distributions, was to create a partnership with a distributor who could provide us with a very large percentage of our day-to day-supplies. We have Central inventories in each of our hospitals; however, we use a stockless operation Monday-Friday. This means, we fill supplies for our nursing units on the weekends, but during the week, the distributor is picking, packing, and shipping those supplies in low unit of measure. Orders are placed electronically by noon daily, and start arriving by late evening. A 'back order' list is sent to us each workday in the late afternoon - too late to do anything with it. We did work with our distributor to develop a more customized spreadsheet that detailed each item, by hospital and delivery location. Each following day we would break the file down so that we could e-mail it to each area, to get feedback from them on critical needs. This took our resources time to prepare and send the next morning. Staff getting the information didn't have much time to review and respond. In addition, we would update each PO line item with the revised the 'due date', for back-ordered lines - this was a manual process. This same resource would then use a tool to send each requestor a 'delayed delivery' e-mail notice. The overall PO update and communication process took an additional 1-2 hours a day in staff resource time. With the robot doing this work for us, the vendor sends a file to an address by a certain time. They send it in at about 3:30 PM every day. The robot now takes that file and works that file, which it has ready for us usually by 4:30 PM. Now, it still may be too late for us to work, but the first thing in the morning, we have the file, and the Bot has already sent out notifications to all the users of any back orders. First thing, when they walk in the morning, they know what their back orders are. They didn't know that until halfway through the day before. Now, they get the information first thing in the morning so they can react. Now, we are getting the information first thing and have the time to work with the manufacturers and distributor to come up with other products so that we might backfill or get a branch transfer. Our end goal was to make sure that we had a daily tool that was 100 percent accurate and could be deployed across a broad spectrum of healthcare workers. Then, they could get information faster and more accurately with as much information to eliminate a lot of extra calls and communication. That is what we embarked on. We dissected our current process and looked at all its different triggers to see how we could turn this into an automated tool. We broke down our process and identified everything that we were doing, then UiPath helped us identify what we needed to modify. We worked that into a tool where a Bot could come along and process it every day, then deliver every afternoon. That was our end result, and it's been extremely successful. We started using the tool last December. We combined some automation that we already had in this process into this tool to make it a whole automated process, rather than partially bringing in under. We have a vendor who delivers us a report daily of all their back orders because we use a main distributor, so they deliver us a back order report. Therefore, we made sure that they aligned it in a way that the robot could read it. Then, we wanted to break that down in a way so each of our hospitals could see their section. So, we added some data to this tool which allowed the robot to see that record, and say, "This belongs here, and this belongs here."
We are a UiPath customer, working with them to develop some products. It is a bit of a mixed thing where we are developing some products with them from scratch, but they are acting as the provider. We develop things, and if they're useful for others, then others can use them. We are doing some pretty bespoke things to help us develop some solutions, but also help them develop their UI solutions in the legal area. We are working on a few things with UiPath to develop some search robots, some solutions to automatize subcontracts, and some timekeeping entries. These are several things that we are doing right now. We are doing three things with them: * A robot to help us with software for time management, automating time entries. * A robot to help us with filling in our engagement letters (contracts). * A robot to help us with various public searches, i.e., the automation of searches of the public record. We are adjusting robots from similar things that they do. The robots are not yet in production.
We have a system to create a multiple orders to perform automation testing. Here, UiPath helps us to create a bunch of orders without the hassle of creating a separate automation suite for this need. When creating orders manually became a tough job for the user then it needed a benchmark for us to resolve this kind of situation to make teams more agile at work. This motivated us to find a solution to counter this problem in our organization. Definitely, it has helped to make us more agile.
I started using UiPath version 2017.1 and currently, I am using 2018.4.6. We had a requirement of fetching emails, which are basically requests from clients filled on our website form. We read those emails and process the data filled by the user in the form. There are different forms like a request to provide reports, a request to add or delete a user, etc. After reading these emails, the bot has to take the necessary action on our Primary CRM application. Depending on the request type, the bot will navigate to the necessary module in the application and perform the request as defined in the email request.
We are a company that provides technical services and this is one of the solutions that we implement for our clients. One of our use cases is to help automate simple processes for banks.
In our organization (Global Business Services), we do a lot of automations in the Windows environment. In the past, we've used a lot of VBA macros and VB scripts but maintaining support for more than 1000 macros has become a very difficult task. UiPath, as an end-to-end RPA solution, solves many issues and limitations of the previous setup.

UiPath has been quite useful in terms of getting data from thousands of webpages online and arranging it in a predefined format. You can easily create robots and define operations in Uipath.
Primary use cases involve the following automation environments and processes: * Oil and Gas Domain: Automation of various applications specific to this domain such as Gopher, Tow, Toad, Excel, and various browsers. * Finance Banking: Here we have to deal with various legacy applications with a lot of PDF and Excel-based automation. UiPath comes with a lot of reliable solutions here. * Healthcare: Automation is a big challenge because the Healthcare domain is not a simple thing to automate. The ML extractor and Intelligent Automation activities are best to use here.

Automated an end-to-end process that starts with the user raising a request in BMC Remedy. It handles requests for respective Roles in the GRC System of SAP. This process includes identifying the Request number from the BMC remedy Ticket. The BOT identifies respective control owners for requested roles and requests the controlling owner for their approval. Then BOT performs the Approval/Rejection process accordingly.

My primary use case of this solution was to automate BMC Remedy and SAP use cases. I used UiPath to automate various tasks in SAP. I developed several bots in client virtual machines using UiPath and then connected the virtual machine to the UiPath Orchestrator. Once connected, I scheduled the Bot.
One of my primary use cases is invoice processing. In this process, there are two applications including one for data and the other for the main application. The main application needs to take invoice data from the data process and match it with invoice details that it has. After this, the status needs to be recorded in the data process.

I actually went for a powerup automation hackathon conducted by UiPath, which gave me the idea to implement this in my organization. I used the product, experienced it, and I'm here. UiPath reduced a lot of manual work and I am getting positive reviews from the company.
The primary use case for this solution is to reduce manpower and achieve the best result with minimal time compared to doing tasks manually. This is a great advantage of this product because when doing tasks manually it takes many minutes of time but when the bot does it, it is finished in a few seconds.
We use UiPath for: * Financial domain * Excel automation * SAP automation * Citrix automation * Usage of Orchestrator queues * RE framework * Automating password resets * Security and governance * Rule-based exception handling * Large group deployment * Centralized repository for version control * Execution logs and credentials

They are scheduled by Orchestrator and we are handling every step: Solution, design, followups, stacks, consulting, and finally implementation. Nowadays we are using robots internally but we will start with third-party clients in 2020 Q2.
I am responsible for developing and improving RPA-software bots in my organisation. The processes we work on improving are in the field of finance. We started using UiPath and RPA as a technology about two years ago and are still improving and growing.
We use UiPath for a lot of different scenarios including recording daily time capture, ordering meals for teams, and more technical work related to tax and audit. The most common uses for me personally are for drafting and sending emails. This has saved a countless hours of time. Basically, if it can be automated then we are automating it.
One use is in our corporate tax accounting group. Our environment includes systems such as SAP, Vertex, several homegrown, and of course Excel. Other use cases include automating a timekeeping system and performing cell phone bill analysis. Environmentally, all use cases involve different systems.
We work with third-party recruiting software to organize candidates and track applicants. We utilize the bot to pull information from these pages and organize it and run actions. Utilizing the bots to screen resumes helps prevent time being wasted on initial tasks around recruitment.

We have IT solutions that are oriented to service our call center because we are a contact center company. For example, we have a CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) solution to help manage our phone calls. It is something that we developed in house. We are developing a UiPath (the company that acquired ProcessGold) solution using RPA robots to improve our processes. So, that is our main use for the ProcessGold solution. We use the UiPath product in order to reuse processes that we manage better and use the time of our agents more efficiently. When we established a connection with a client by phone, our agents spend a long time talking with the client and are also responsible for doing some back-end tasks. In order to reduce back-end tasks, we use RPA robots to reduce the time you need to spend on follow-up calls. For example, after a second call with the same client, you may need to fill in a form or a CRM entry. If we can simplify this task of filling out a form where we insert all the information automatically the robot saves that time. That is the main idea and the reason we use these robots.
The solution is primarily used for invoice processing in combination with intelligent data captures. It's used for anything to do with lots of finance processes. Typically they go into lots of HR processes as well. They're the two main business functions that we work in.
We use the entire UiPath suite for healthcare revenue cycle management. Our automations are not run in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. The information about the automation processes was really useful. At the same time, I would suggest including more industry-specific training and knowledge sharing. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one month. I felt that the process was straightforward. It was very intuitive. Most of the resources were available to us and we've got it up and running with no problem.

We use all of the products in the UiPath platform. We have use cases ranging from back-office to manufacturing, which include large project management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and treasury management. Most of the areas in the company have processes that we have automated. We run our automations in the Citrix virtual environment, although we are unhappy with Citrix. It is pretty bad, and it's very difficult to keep up the performance. AVS or Azure do not offer a good service yet, but we are looking for alternatives with respect to the virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. We have been using UiPath for quite a long time, and we have seen this evolving. It has been getting better over the last few years. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training between three and four. The training is good, but the content doesn't have the depth required for people to go ahead and do something if they're not technical. It's still pretty high-level. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was three to four weeks. The process is getting better, but when we started in 2016 and UiPath was small, it was good but needed refinement. I would have rated it three out of five back then.

We use Studio, Orchestrator, Studio and Orchestrator right now for RPA development for automating pretty much anything that rules-based processes can accomplish that are mundane and take time.
We are using attended and unattended robots, Orchestrator, and Studio. We are in the financial services industry. A lot of what we do is background data processing, and we use the unattended robots for a lot of it. We do have some attended robots as well, but most of our processes are unattended. I am a developer, so I primarily use Studio. I write the instructions for our Orchestrator Application Manager to do everything we need in Orchestrator. We are currently operating an on-premises deployment, but we're in the pilot group for Cloud, so as soon as we get a date on that we'll probably be migrating. One of the primary processes that we've automated is reporting. Prior to automation, our users were only able to run a few of the reports, a few times a week. Now, we're running every single report that there is to run, which is probably four or five times what they were able to do, every single day. Every morning they receive a summary of that work, so they're able to just get on and look at it, rather than during the close of the day. In financial services, the close of the day is crunch time. We work really hard to make sure that everything is done within a set about of time because there is a domino effect. One person has to be done before the next person can finish, and they're not having to dig back and try to figure out when these issues happened. We're providing it to them upfront. We can say exactly what happened, which account they need to look at, and on what date. This means that we're ahead of the issues, rather than trying to backtrack and find them. We are not currently running in a Citrix environment, but the only reason we're not is that our sister company hosts our Citrix environment, so we can't install any of the services that make those environments much easier to utilize. For example, we can't install the computer vision component because we don't own it, so they won't let us. Our team is really small, there's only six of us on the actual RPA team. However, we work really hard with the business to get buy-in in every department. We're trying to roll out at least one automation in every single department. Our company's goals for the next year, I believe, every associate of the company is supposed to have proposed a task that they are doing, whether it's daily, monthly, yearly, whatever, that could be automated. Then our team will ingest that, prioritize that, and work through it. But, we're really trying really hard to get our whole company involved, and we're getting ready to kick off this campaign to try and get more attention to it and to try and get people using it. We want it to be more than just a buzzword. We want it to be something that everybody's talking about regularly, and using, and excited about. When it comes to getting people interested, I think it's probably a combination of education and sharing the experience of those projects that we have rolled out. When people are really seeing that with the projects that we've rolled out, our close is shortening, they become interested. What we say is happening, or will happen when we're rolling these automations out, is happening. Getting that to be shared from process owner to their team, to the teams that they're working with, it acts like word of mouth for those that are affected. We don't like it to just all come from us, the technical team. We don't want to simply tell them that it's going to do something. We want others to talk about what it has done for them and suggest they should take advantage of that too. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. We don't struggle with it. I took the UiPath academy training, and I love it. We are looking at an unrelated tool right now, and we found no comparison between their training and the UiPath Academy. We were spoiled with UiPath Academy, and we didn't really realize how good that training really is. The thing that I love about the developer training; the level one, level two, level three... level one really does walk you through it. It gives you, literally the walkthrough, so when you don't understand, you can go back, you can look at, and see exactly how to do it. But by the time you're in level three, it's not doing that anymore. The requirements are a little bit looser, you have to figure out how to interpret the words or the requirements, and it becomes more challenging, but I think that that's important, because, by the time that you're actually working real projects, it's not a walkthrough anymore. You have to figure it out on your own. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three months. It did take us a little while, but we knew that we purchased our licenses before we were really ready to hit the ground running. We function out of such a small team, and we were still working with UiPath trying to figure out which partner we wanted to bring in for consultants because we wanted somebody with experience. We didn't want someone who just finished the training just run in and try, and I think we learned a lot working with that consultant. We did work with a second consulting group, Machina Automation, and we loved working with them. They're great. They're just so supportive, and they really want to make sure things are right. It's never just sending them the requirements and pounding it out to get it into production. We work with them really deeply to try and make sure that they understand the process, we understand the requirements, they express their concerns to us, we express our concerns to them, and we work together. It's not like we just send them the documents and they send it back as a project. The whole way through we touch base with them every single morning. They're always asking what more they can do and how they can help. They ask if we're happy with what we received. We do time card reviews, so the time that they spend with us we're actually able to go back and validate, based on that, what they've said they did, that indeed it is what they did. We had received some scrum and sprint training from them. We've had actual developer consultants, we've had mentoring hours for our developers. So we've had a lot from them, and they've been able to help us with everything. Anything we ask, they try to accommodate us. For example, we asked if they had any experience with Kibana. They did not but said that they would find somebody who does.

We use UiPath Studio, Orchestrator and Robots, all unattended currently. Our primary use case is one-off for mediation projects because we're trying to set up our infrastructure. Once the infrastructure is set up, we plan on creating a federated model throughout our entire organization.
We play significantly in the BFSI and healthcare space. A lot of use cases have been related to BFSI. Insurance is much bigger, with claims and underwriting, policy admin, health benefits, and so on so forth. There are also good use cases on the functional level, HR and finance, and that cuts across industries.

We are using Orchestrator for both development and production. We are using attended and unattended bots, and we are using Studio to develop them. We use this solution for front-office processes, back-office processes, IT processes, and automating anything that we can. We run our automations inside a virtual environment. We use Citrix and Citrix Server. We have sixty-seven processes that we've automated to run in the virtual environment and its very straightforward. It's deployed out of Orchestrator, and for attended processes, it's as simple as going in, opening a UI robot, and clicking the start button. It's phenomenally easy. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it's a five. It's very easy. I'm a software developer by trade and I was able to automate several processes in a very short time span. In two weeks I can automate an entire process, end-to-end, which is incredibly fast for the ROI. One of our processes was extremely complex, which was our customer onboarding process. The complexity was, in part, because it is handled by six different departments. The PDD for it was one hundred and forty pages long. One or two we've done were simple automations, and the rest have been medium to high complexity. My first robot went into production within a month of me being in my position. That included going through all of the UiPath training, getting familiar with our IT systems, and then actually vetting out a process and automating. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It was very informative and very detailed. We are using the unattended robots more than we are the attended ones, and we're trying to continue that drive. We understand that there's a need for some processes to run attended, but if we can, we do process optimization to make it work and be unattended.

We are using Orchestrator, Studio, attended and unattended robots. I am on the business analyst side, so I do not have much experience with Orchestrator. We are using this solution to automate processes for our clients. They typically have mundane processes or something that's super repetitive, that we're able to quickly automate for them and see that return. We did do an attended bot with them as well, to improve their call center. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say it's a four. This is a rating from the business side, as opposed to the development side. We understand what the features are, and when new releases come out we have an understanding of what's feasible. I am not rating it a five because sometimes we do not know whether a use case is feasible or not. It means that I may have to speak to one of the developers to see whether it can be done with the tools and the features that are out there. We host the UiPath Academy RPA training every other month for our clients. I have not taken the full course, but on a scale from one to five, I would rate it a five. This is based on the number of people who sign up for it and look forward to attending it, just to learn the basics of RPA. In terms of how long it takes from purchasing a UiPath license until having the first robot, the average is probably four weeks. It depends on the complexity of the process.
We use only unattended robots with Studio and Orchestrator. Our primary use for the bots is in finance, so we only do finance use cases like AP (Accounts Payable) invoice retrieval.
We are using Orchestrator, attended robots, and unattended robots. Our primary use case for this solution is in the financial industry. We do not yet run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. The whole interface needs some TLC because it can be a bit tricky. We have used the UiPath training and it has improved a lot since we first tried it. When I used it a while ago, it had its problems. I think it came due to the fact that it was not developed by native English speakers. For example, they had questions that were simply wrong. It has improved a lot and now it is beneficial. I think that the biggest challenge is for them to stay up to date. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately four and a half months.
We are using Studio and Orchestrator, and we purchased an unattended bot. Our UiPath is integrated with Kibana, which is a free tool. Our primary use of this solution is to automate manual processes. We have approximately eighty use cases to automate. The RPA team includes two developers, a manger, and two BPOs. We run automations in a virtual environment, but I am not familiar with the details. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. We just drag and drop. If you want to write something we use "Type Into". If you want to click, we use the corresponding click application. For me, it's very easy, and we also have tutorials available on the UiPath website. That is something that is very useful for everyone who wants to learn, and even a non-programmer can start learning to become a developer. The Academy RPA training was very beneficial and I would rate it a five out of five. You cannot skip one step. There are ten sections and you cannot skip any of them. It means that until you pass a certain test, it will not allow you to go to the next lesson. This restricts people from jumping directly into another section. I really like the training and it is very easy. The tutorials are not very lengthy, they are simple, and the way they are explained is relatable. The practice tests that were conducted at the end were really helpful. We partnered with IVy to create our first two pilot bots, and from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months. It was very easy because they helped us.
We primarily use the Studio, which is for developing the robots, and we deploy to Orchestrator. We went through a large SAP transformation and we had a lot of issues getting the users to accept the new systems. They were issues related to the adoption of new systems. We decided to build these attended bots in order to guide the users through the system. Essentially, it is navigation or guidance assistance. By helping the users with proper data entry and design, flowing in a logical sequence that is easy for the user to follow, it minimizes end-user training. Running our automations in a virtual environment is something that we had tried during our PoC. Currently, we have attended bots deployed in more than twenty thousand laptops, and eventually, we're planning to have more than eighty thousand deployments. Because of the large scale, initially, we were having a lot of challenges because of things that go on with the users' machines. We wanted to explore Citrix because there is just one virtual environment that every user logs on to, and then run the processes from there. Unfortunately, it did not work for us. We were seeing a lot of issues and felt that it was much more stable deploying individually to each laptop, instead of using Citrix. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. There is always room for improvement. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. The material is very sequential and logical. You don't get lost because you just follow the modules from beginner to intermediate to advanced. You cover everything from end-to-end, and it is very structured. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one year. This included our pilot project, then the development and the UAT. When we went live in production there were three thousand users.

We are using UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, and attended bots. We are automating twelve shared services processes. They are from the finance, HR, and procurement areas. These processes are run at a high frequency and are required to be captured on two different platforms. We have implemented this solution to stop entry clerks from having to do the same job twice, on two different platforms. We run automations in a virtual environment and it is successful. The implementation was fast and we realized the benefits quickly. Currently, we have deployed three processes and we are going to roll out more processes in patches. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. Some of these processes have difficult exceptions that had to be handled, which is why we opted for the attended robots. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. The training is rich in content and the material, products, and methodologies are explained well. The concept of automation can be very easily digested by anyone, even if they are non-technical. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately a month and a half. I was not the person doing the configuration, but I managed the process through interaction with the technical team. It was a straightforward, and easy process.

We use UiPath primarily to drive efficiency within the company and introduce a new technology, which is only going to become more popular and more prevalent in the industry in the next few years. At the moment, we use Orchestrator, Studio, and unattended robots. We invested in an RPA solution because competitors were doing it. They do it because it's the next wave of this industry, the fourth industrial revolution. Everyone's saying that you can't escape it. It's also because our company, in the shared services department, is thinking about how to challenge our existing models. Traditionally, you chose whether to take the processes onboard or streamline them offshore, but robotics and automation are a competitive alternative to outsourcing. It's very easy. We are challenging the status quo and making sure we're evaluating all our options effectively.

We have two customers. One is in the insurance industry. We are implementing it within our own company to automate HR and finance processes: back office. This is the same thing with the customer: back office. That's the focus. We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and attended bots. We are not using unattended bots yet.
We have several use cases. We're a telecommunications company. We use it for anything from order entry, design, activation, and interactions with technicians within our field. We really have an end-to-end solution. We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and unattended bots. It is deployed on-premise but on our own cloud.
We use Studio, the Orchestrator, and we have attended and unattended robots. Our primary use case is automating back-office processes from the corporate side. One example is the automation for ticket closure for some of the customer complaints. We also use it to fill information gaps between systems. Instead of having information run through standard APIs, we have it copied over from one system to another. We run automations in a virtual environment, and the implementation was pretty easy and quick. We used the Community Edition before purchasing our license. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one week. We found it to be very easy and very fast. We, as a Contact Center, usually face a lot of problems when we suggest any requirements. When we started with RPA, it took approximately one month for a very complex process to be automated. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. It is very easy. You can use the UI, or you can use APIs for the connection. In the end, you can do it. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five, for sure. In two or three weeks, an RPA developer can do everything.

We are using Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. Our primary use for this solution started with automating processes in finance, procurement, and HR. Now, we are researching various directions in logistics. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. This is something that we are trying to avoid. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. I'm an IT-based person, and for IT people it is easy to learn. UiPath claims that it is easy to learn and it's for everybody, but it's not true. For business people, it is hard to learn and hard to understand how to code to make things work. They need a lot of help with things like exception handling. If somebody lacks technical or programming skills then it makes it much more difficult to use. Although UiPath is getting closer to business users, there are still some basic skills that they need to have to make it work. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. When I get new hires it doesn't matter whether they have previous experience in RPA or development, they have to go through all of the basic training from the Academy. This includes the Orchestrator and I've been recommending SAP training because we are experiencing growth in the use of SAP. Going to my team, this is the base, and then we have created our internal framework and standards that also require training. Some people may already have experience with UiPath or Blue Prism, but they still need to take the training from the Academy. Before I arrived at the company, there were already some automations running. However, fifteen months ago we shut down a couple of robots because they were failing terribly. From that time, it took us five months to create the first robot.

I am a developer so I primarily use Studio. Once the bots are developed they go to Orchestrator. We have a combination of different use cases. Sometimes it deals with Outlook, the Microsoft Office Suite, or certain integrated web applications. You build a solution to integrate all of the applications that are part of the same process. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment at the moment, but we are currently evaluating how we can do this. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. The majority of the simple tasks are done through recording, which saves on our development time. You just record the things that you want to achieve and then customize to get it going. Since I was new to the product, I used the training. I took the developer training, as well as business analyst training. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It's truly very beneficial because you can just touch base with the actual tool and get it done. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six weeks. This was a complex use case and it worked well, so it was a good proof of value.

We are using Orchestrator and robots. Our primary use for this solution is Accounts Payable invoice automation. We run automations in the virtual environment provided by the Amazon service. Our implementation has been finicky at times. The latest release is a lot more stable, but I've had a two-week production outage where DLLs weren't registered and someone from Vegas had to log in for eight hours to our servers. They had to uninstall and reinstall the solution, as well as all of the different apps. I lost a bit of faith in the solution with that incident. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. It's pretty easy to use, but it wouldn't be a five because it isn't doing everything for me. Things still need to be done. I have not taken the Academy training but my team has. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately two weeks. The process was pretty straightforward.
Our client's companies have extensive issues with SAP and getting information out of it. They have another technical ERP system with an in-memory database where they don't get the information out of it, then have to add it manually to SAP. That will be probably the first big use case for automation. So, we will get a bot reading it on the database from the Citrix environment and probably moving it to SAP. The client will probably have it on-premise. They tend to be really risk adverse in terms of Cloud solutions. We have tried to get them to use the cloud more because it's just easier. We are using Studio Orchestrator, and unattended bots. I have programmed attended bots before.
Right now, the primary use case is document retrieval from our client system. We are a healthcare billing company, so we have to pull things like medical records and different documents from hospital stays. So, we used the robots to pull those versus an FTE. We have both unintended and attended robotics that we use. We haven't really delved into Studio a lot yet. That's going to be part of our staging and going into the next phase. We built all of our basic bots, so now we're going into the more complex bots. We are on-premise. We were looking at moving to the cloud, so that will be something in our next steps.
We use Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. We use this solution to solve the things that people don't want to do. They spend a lot of time and there is a high potential to make manual errors. Quality suffers because it takes too long and users can get fatigued. There are the things that we are targeting and we have already seen some of the benefits. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. It is easy, but there are some improvements that can be made. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It is my lifeline. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six to eight months. I felt that the process was complicated, in part because of UiPath but also partly because of internal things. Internally, in order to get set up, the entire infrastructure needs to be in place. All of the servers have to be set up and you need the right permissions because the bots need their own security. You have to explain to people that this is going to be a service account, and you have to explain the need for it. These are all internal, but necessary issues.
We use all three of the UiPath components which include: Studio, Roboyo, and Orchestrator. There are a bunch of use cases that we explored for the POC (Proof of Concept) to be sure the product fits with our expectations for automation. For example, one use case is reconciliation processes for insurance group retirement and LOB (Law on Occupational Benefits) plans. We built it, tested it, and now that is one of the primary things we use the product for.
We're a consultant, so we help customers use this solution to develop automation and help set up COE. We provide the means for an entire organization to build its use cases. That's how we use Orchestrator both attended and unattended.
We have robots and we have Orchestrator and we are exploring the new analytics model over the next few months. Right now, our primary use is mostly operational processes and deploying apps for the global operations team. We have multiple automation processes in place for them already.
I'm working for one project where we're trying to automate processes for a logistics company, specifically in their back-office accounting processes. We're using Studio, Orchestrator and the bots. In other words, we're using the whole platform.

I use Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. My primary use for this solution is back-office automation in a banking environment. We run automations in a virtual environment, both for development and production. The robots are implemented in a development environment first, which is connected to Citrix. Once the process automation is finalized, including deployment and UAT has passed, we move the same file from the development Orchestrator to the production Orchestrator in the production environment. Production is also in Citrix. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a three. We have legacy Oracle applications and I'm finding it difficult to find selectors for the older, legacy systems. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. Some of the lessons are really easy, whereas others are more difficult, but you need to finish everything, otherwise you cannot go further. This is what I didn't like about it. It took approximately one month to implement our first robot. Prior to purchasing the license, we implemented our PoC using the Community Edition. That took three weeks. After that, my company bought the license and it took about a week to put into production.

I find that the training is good in the first step, and also in the second step where we're learning about Orchestrator. However, when it moves to the third step and they are talking about the framework, I think that it is a pretty big leap and that is where I'm struggling. This is the section that I am in right now. There was one project that was completed before I started, at my understanding is that from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was less than six months. For my project, it has taken two months.

I primary use Studio, but I also use Orchestrator. I develop robots for reducing tasks for our business users. We run some of our automations in the Citrix virtual environment. We have found that the Citrix environment tends to present challenges, so it can take a little longer. With a year and a half of experience, I am still learning with this platform. I find that the ease by which processes can be automated is not as much of an issue with the platform, but rather how it behaves with other applications that the robot controls. The learning curve is mostly how the robot behaves in maybe a Citrix environment, or in how it behaves with the applications that it's controlling. Sometimes they have their own little quirks that you have to learn. I got started with this solution by using the Academy training. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a three. It is easier to get started because you are learning by experimenting. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately seven or eight weeks.

It can become problematic depending on the data and the types of tasks. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. We are using it to gain experience with the platform. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was probably three or four months. The first robots that we created were for account reconciliation, and the implementation was straightforward.

We use Studio, attended robots, and Orchestrator. Our primary use case is automating support services for accounts payable and accounts receivable. We are still implementing and our robots are not live in a production environment yet. For the time being, we are using attended robots but we are looking into unattended robots as well. We run automations in a virtual environment using VMware, and the implementation was straightforward. It was easy to set up. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. You don't need any programming skills to be able to leverage the tools. We have used other tools such as Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, and this solution was easier than those. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It is very simple and can be easily demonstrated. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months.

We use Studio, Orchestrator, and robots. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a two. It's been going for about six months now, and we are still having challenges here and there. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a three. The material is on the technical side, and not being a technical person, it makes it pretty challenging to get through. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three months.
We use all of the UiPath products: UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, attended robots, and unattended. Primarily, we use them for financial liquidation. Our customers frequently use it for different cases. Some use it with chatbots. Sometimes, our customers run automations in a virtual environment. In terms of implementing UiPath within a virtual environment, UiPath staff are working on the cost. Currently we have UiPath with a Citrix client and you need to go to the Citrix virtual station to activate. It's more difficult to implement as a user. Our customers' organizations have involved about 15 to 20 people in their automation programs.

We are using attended and unattended bots. The attended ones are very low profile. We are also using Orchestrator. Our primary use case for this solution is to automate underwriting processes. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment, yet. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. I think that we still struggle sometimes with what kind of a bot we need to use for what kind of work. It may be a lack of understanding on our side. We need to have more clarity on this. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. This is what I have heard from my team members. I did enroll in the training but I didn't make much progress. That said, I have heard good things about it. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately a six-month transition.
We use unattended robots and the Orchestrator module. I am most familiar with the Orchestrator. We are very new to this solution and just getting into it. We are a financial insurance company and we do VoW, Verify on Web. We have a bunch of different insurance carriers. We run automations in a virtual environment, VMware, and I haven't seen any problems with it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. For my part of it, this solution seems very useful. I have limited exposure to it because I do more of the installation, the configs, etc. I don't really work with the workloads, although I see what is being worked with. We have our in-house developers who are doing the integration into our in-house programs, so I watch what they do and it just seems that it's very easy to pick up on. I have not used the UiPath Academy, although I think that the developers have. I did not get any feedback from them about it. I was not involved at the time, but I think that from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three to four months.
We are using the attended, unattended, and Orchestrator components of this solution. Our primary use case is developing automation around revenue cycle management in the healthcare space. We run automations in a virtual environment and we are very happy with that ability. It is much more time-consuming when compared to running it directly on the server, but it is very reliable and it is a great way to create automations that you wouldn't otherwise be able to create. Of course, we prefer to go directly to the same environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. In order for me to give it a five, it would have to be such that a user could go in and develop it easily with a point and a click. I think it would be extremely difficult to build a platform that was that simple for the end-user, but I think UiPath has come a long way and is very good at making it easier and easier as we go along. We have at least ten developers who have gone through the certification training with the UiPath Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training four and a half. The training is wonderful. There are certain elements of the training platform that are not keeping up with the product though. Also, some of the things that are in the documentation are not up to date. Being a little outdated, it can be kind of frustrating for the people that are going through it. But, it's a great way for people to get a good understanding of how to use all of the elements of the process. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three weeks.

We are using Orchestrator and Studio and we are using both attended and unattended robots. We use this solution in the compliance space to manage risk. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With our first process going into production just last week, we are just new to RPA. The RPA involvement across our organization is very small given our stage of development, with less than ten people. These are both developers and business users. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it's about a three. The software itself is relatively straightforward and easy to use. However, the task of automating processes can be challenging. Each company is going to be different than others. My experience tells me that process automation perhaps is not as straightforward as businesses may think it is. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. I found the training at the UiPath Academy really good and easy to understand. We were able to download trial versions of the software and apply our training to the trial versions. It is very straightforward and easy for .NET developers to actually use the tools. They felt comfortable, and there was nothing new, just a different way of doing what they do. My company is probably not a good example of judging how long it takes to build your first robot. We implemented the system and did the process at the same time. So, combined, it took several months. Going forward, because we're no longer putting a system into place, I expect that timeframe to shrink significantly.

We are using unattended bots, Orchestrator, and Studio. We use this solution for doing a variety of things. It includes a lot of back-office finance and accounting, tax, and a little bit on our operations side. We're also using it for some test automation within our IT group, so helping to test our points of sale, and some of our data transfers as well. Orchestrator runs on a dedicated server, but our bots all run on virtual dedicated machines in our data center. There were some challenges in setting everything up to run in a virtual environment. We implemented a couple of years ago, so I think that it has improved by now, although it was challenging. Part of it was on our end, where our people were not familiar with it. The challenges included picking the right type of VM to run on, having the right kind of setup, and having the environment configured correctly. We needed this to allow the RPA team to have enough control over the day-to-day maintenance, and not have bottlenecks with the technical side. Managing things when we had issues or needed to add something new was also a challenge. The documentation was kind of broad and didn't go into the detail that we wanted it to, although I have seen that get better, so that is really good. I'm sure if we were trying to implement it today, it would probably be a lot smoother with the tools that they've come up with. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. I think there are still a few things they could do and it looks like they are working towards that. It still requires a good bit of training and ramping up for someone brand new to it, especially without a programming background, to jump in and start building. I think they can continue to refine that and they definitely are moving in the right direction. It's a little bit of a technical hurdle to overcome to be able to build not only just basic automations but enterprise-scale automations and automations that are reliable and can check up on themselves. I think they can work some more of that into the actual tool because we've had to do a lot of figuring out how to build best practices and how to program it directly, and the best way to be able to allow us to support it cleanly through the lifecycle. It is good, but there are some things they can add in to truly make it a five. My standards are pretty high, but I'm sure they'll get there. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. We are big fans of it. I typically don't get the luxury of hiring people with technical backgrounds. We usually have people coming out of school or people transferring from other departments who are interested in RPA. So, the Academy tools have been a lifesaver for us and they've been very good, especially for the RPA developer track. It is very detailed and we can really get someone through that training and feel like they're at least able to perform the basic functions of the tool pretty well. From there it is up to us in terms of getting them familiar with our best practices and how we program things and get some hands-on training with the more senior RPA developer to learn some further tips and tricks. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Academy offerings and they're one of the best I've seen from many of them. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was perhaps a month or two. It did not take long, and that included time for training. When we started off, we bought the software, went through the training as a team, and then started building a few small things. We probably had the first one in production within two months of buying the software.
We're starting within our finance group, so a lot of different processes in our finance group are being automated. Our main project was for our tax department, extracting data from PDFs and putting them into Excel. We have two people involved with RPA in our company. We just purchased this solution last week so we're still installing everything. We did automate four processes with the community edition. The length of time in development varied by the process. The longer ones required help from UiPath. They came on-site for the PoC, so that helped us out. Some other easy ones we just did ourselves within a couple of days. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it is a four. But with Studio X, I think it will probably be a five. I say four because as you get more complicated with your processes, you need to learn how to code and there's a brunt learning curve. A lot of people will get turned off by that. So, I made some good sessions with Studio X, it's all drag and drop, mostly, so that's perfect for the business users. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. We are actually in the process of taking it right now. It's good that they have something like that available. There are not that many who have aced it.
We use Studio and Orchestrator. I personally use unattended bots but we're releasing one of the largest attended implementations right now. For the most part, it's still in the back office, finance, and accounting, that's typically where we've been starting. That's where for me, as an inexperienced developer, is easier for me to get started.

I am a developer so I primarily use Studio most of the time, and when the bots go live, they move to Orchestrator. We have a combination of different use cases. Sometimes it is dealing with Outlook or the Microsoft Office Suite. The idea is to build a solution that integrates all of the applications that are part of the same process. We are not currently running our processes in a virtual environment but we are currently evaluating how we could make it work.
We are using the unattended robots and Orchestrator modules of UiPath. We have built close to fifty processes in the three years that we have been a client. Our primary use case, the one the gives us the biggest relief, is the processing of premium border rows. The robot will pick up Excel files with between four hundred and a thousand rows of data, and then does the data entry into our policy issuance system. All of our automation runs in a virtual environment and we do not have any problems. At the start, of course, there were a few bumps in the road, but we got it figured out and now have no issues at all using the VM. When we began working with automation, I was the leader and I had three BAs and three developers offshore. When our company decentralized, we created three other robotics divisions. There are now twenty-eight of us including the project manager, the BAs, the testers, and our developers. People are spread across four different divisions within the corporation. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, I will consider the individual components. With the Orchestrator, on a scale of one to five, that's easy, it's a five. It is very evident how to use it. The Studio, I am not a developer but I got six developers up and running on it in a very short period of time. It has a very short learning curve, so on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. My rating of four is because I know that we had some challenges with using the recorder. Things would shift and there were a couple of things that had worked and then stopped working. We found a little instability, and it was hard for us to know whether it was us, or the application, or the studio. Ultimately, we were not able to get a final answer on the root cause of those problems. We are no longer experiencing these problems. When we upgraded, a lot of that went away. Also, when we went to Orchestrator, a lot of that went away. Exactly as UiPath had told us when we went to them with the issue, they gave us some solutions and once we implemented them, the issue was corrected. I did not attend the UiPath Academy, but my Business Analysts took the BA course and my offshore developers all took the Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five easily. Before the Academy came around, they were kind of self-taught. When they took the Academy, it closed some of their gaps. When we started with this solution, we did a PoC with the help of a UiPath developer. In two weeks we built a PoC for a bank reconciliation, which was pretty fast. That helped us decide whether we wanted to go with the product, and of course, we did. After that, we took the code, which really didn't have a lot of bells and whistles in it, and we gave it to one of our developers to really soup it up and make it more robust. That took them about a month to do.
We use attended and unattended bots, Orchestrator, and Studio for development. We're seeing increasing adoption of Studio because more people see how easy and straightforward it is to use a lot of the features. It helps that UiPath training is free. Our entire team, including our salespeople, have gone through the training. It's free and it makes a big difference. For the salespeople, they're able to talk more intelligently about RPA. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five, for sure. In fact, I have taken a lot of ideas from their training to educate my customers about RPA. When it comes to RPA, a lot of it is education because some of them don't know exactly how automation can be done. I've told UiPath that I use their training in my presentation, and it is great. We are working with a technology company called Rammer, Rammer.ai. What the Rammer software does is listen to conversations to learn the details of what is being discussed. A third-party system is used to transcribe the conversation into text, then Rammer will learn the details without much training. It knows the topics, it understands what is talked about the most, talked about the least, how much we are adhering to the script if it's a call center use case, or if it is a simple meeting use case then it knows who is assigned what tasks, it recognizes the follow-ups, and it knows the summary of the discussion. All of this is summarized in a nice, consumable manner. So now, when a bot knows all of this information, it goes into Orchestrator, logs all these activities that are picked up by unattended bots downstream, and they trigger all those processes back. So it's a massive consumption of all of those heavy use cases. We have not yet run automations in a virtual environment, although we do have customers who are asking for it. We are not sure if we will need UiPath's help for this yet because we haven't tried it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. Really, it depends on how clearly we understand the requirements. So a lot of times we are able to find process gaps, which wasn't the case earlier before we started thinking about automation in this manner. I would say the ease of use is actually dependent on some of those factors as well. Usually, starting is the biggest challenge for most people, and I think this is because it is in a trial environment and there is a lack of documentation, with multiple people doing one part of a small subset of a task. There are these challenges and then if none of them are documented, you need to figure out the process flow. From person one, where does it go? This can change when people can do multiple things. It becomes a very complex web to understand and navigate through. We need to understand the task and how it should be performed. For developing the robot, it's very important to have the clarity upfront, otherwise, we cannot code them. That is the biggest challenge, I feel. From the point that a UiPath license is purchased until the first bot is ready is almost immediate. This is because we usually start with a PoC on a small scale, just to see if automation with this approach makes sense. By the end of the PoC, we'll normally know exactly how many bots are needed. Sometimes it is on us, more than the customer when we cannot estimate every process that is outside of the departments and division that we work with because we just work at finance. For example, we can't just estimate what marketing would use, and so on. That will sometimes delay things.

I have used UiPath Orchestrator, and we have created both attended and unattended robots for our clients. We have been using the new AI and OCR technologies with UiPath, and we are currently trying to implement the Citrix log capability that was recently introduced. We are not running our automations in a virtual environment. When we automate any Citrix-based application, it's all email-based. There is a Citrix receiver and we communicate with that, which helps automate Citrix applications much faster. Most of the clients I had seen have been running in virtual environments, although I have seen some of our clients running on the desktop. We have also seen hybrid scenarios. One thing is that virtual environments can be standardized pretty quickly. So, that's an advantage. Normally, the companies, which are leaning towards more cloud now, will be happy with this. So, I think that is one factor. As you move virtual machines to the cloud you can migrate your bots to the cloud faster. I have worked on various different domains including the public sector, commercial, healthcare, energy, utility, and federal. These are the different customers for which we are implementing solutions. Now, the customers are moving towards AI and natural language processing. They are more into chatbots, how they can use artificial intelligence, making use of data science, and putting more machine learning on board. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it two and a half. I'd say it is about marketing. You can develop anything. There are very small processes that you can develop with having minimal experience. However, when you start implementing complex processes, I would say you need to be a background developer. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. All of my team members have been using UiPath Academy for training and certification. It's not just with the U.S., but outside the U.S. as well. From the point that a UiPath license is purchased until the first robot is ready totally depends upon what use case we are implementing. There are different methodologies that people use. Some build the bot without exceptions and it can go to production. Like a very simple process can go to production in two to three weeks. A more complex bot will take eight to ten weeks, and depending upon the process, it can go longer. I have seen tasks when a human is performing the job and it takes him around twenty minutes per transaction. But, when the bot comes in, it actually completed that same transaction in five minutes. But, to develop that five minutes of processing, it was understanding system availability and testing. Then you have to do load testing. It takes ten weeks or so. Our clients decide to implement RPA for several reasons. The first reason, of course, is to have work completed faster. Second, when there is a workload, you can work on it more efficiently and with fewer people. Consider an open enrollment in October, where the open enrollment starts at 10:00 AM and there are a lot of transactions flowing in. Now you have to hire a human and train them. With the bot, we can just scale up instead. Finally, the bots are errorless.
We are using Studio and the attended robots, but we haven't implemented Orchestrator yet. Our primary use is to automate tasks within the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and trade settlement realm that we work in. We're also getting into some more internal audit automation. We run automations in Windows Virtual Machines. It was a long process for us to get started, getting our IS to buy into letting us set up this environment and get started with it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a two or three. They offer upfront training, the UiPath Academy, and that makes it easier but you still need to have a technical mindset to understand it, as it is now. We have all used the Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It's a great experience and very beneficial. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months. It took us a while because we had a bunch of other projects in front of getting our first automation. The process was hard, although it was not complicated. The approval process involved going through a security review.

We use this solution for automating manufacturing processes from invoice processing to accounts payables. All of these use cases are solved using UiPath. For insurance sectors, reconciliation is another process that is automated using UiPath. I have been using UiPath at various enterprise levels.
Our primary use case is to develop automation projects, like automating Excel activities for repetitive tasks and operations on files. We also automate operations on Citrix. With UiPath we can easily manage all of the projects in a single page (i.e. in orchestrator).
We primarily use it for delegating access permissions to help desks, for example. We use it to automate certain things, like onboarding new users, or deprovisioning leaving users. When we add somebody to a group, it triggers some kind of automation workflow. Lastly, we use it to sanitize data entry, so to make sure that capital first letter in the street name is used, certain zip codes aren't allowed, others are, etc., so data is controlled.
We use UiPath primarily for our financial operations. We use this solution in a virtual environment called VMware Horizon. It has allowed us to get started without investing a lot, which was good for us. We need to go to the enterprise solution using Orchestrator as soon as possible. That said, I wouldn't do it differently, because if we were counting on the enterprise environment to get started, we wouldn't have deployed anything in the past year. Because we had this virtual environment, we've been able to deploy 16 bots so far.
At Forest Service, we have a massive onboarding season. Because our primary mission is to combat forest fires, we have a huge intake of firefighters that we hire every season. Because of that, there's a lot of onboarding material that needs to be processed through HR, literally tens of thousands of people in such a short amount of time. I can see, potentially, RPA being able to help with some of the manual work that we do. It's probably the best bang for our buck, but there are certainly other use cases potentially. That is the area that I'm more familiar with, though.
RPA overall is about routine, mundane, structured tasks. We use a number of them at my client's work in terms of how do we do back office reporting for general deliverables, contract compliance, etc. We had a few different reports that we had to do every month. We have to hand-jam them into a very poorly-formatted database which had weird drop-downs. Instead of entering them manually, and spending a day or month just punching in titles and numbers, we compile it onto an Excel sheet and have a bot run and dump all that information. All I have to do is tweak what information has changed from month to month. This has made my life a lot easier.
Our primary use case for it right now is in human resources. We are using it as a recruiting capability where we receive resumes in from recruiters, one in particular. Then, we're looking at the emails, pulling data off the resumes, and loading it into a database. We are also identifying resumes which might need some additional clarification. This saves a lot of time, so somebody doesn't have to go through each email, evaluate them, and pull the resumes down. Our customers are the DoD, mostly, and some civilian agencies.
We are using it for financial applications in the financial sector. We also have a couple of bigger federal customers who started RPA development on their own, then needed our help. Internally, the RPA offerings team is developing more resources, so we can support all our customers. This involves a lot Pegasystems, ERP, and homegrown systems.

One of the main use cases is stringing together different applications, like a financial system to a database for data manipulation or data extraction. Then, all sorts of little things are added onto that from a process prospective.
We are trying to focus on using UiPath for our mission. A lot of people use RPA for things that happen everywhere, such as in financial or HR. We are a bit different. We are trying to focus on things which will improve what our customer are doing. For example, one of our customers is a bank. Therefore, we are focusing on improving their relationship with the bank's customers by using RPA. While there are use cases everywhere, we are focusing on trying a company better and more streamlined at their core.
I personally do a lot of process automation and data visualization. I work with a lot of people in procurement and finance to pull data from a lot of different systems, consolidating it, and creating reports, then presenting it. What I do a lot of is taking that consolidated data and creating automated reports with Microsoft Power BI and visualization tools. A lot of where people get hung up is pulling the data and the amount of time it takes to do that. So, people want to be able to automate their processes, as well as have my reports. When I heard about UiPath, it addresses the initial problem of having to constantly pull data, get updates, consolidate the data, then model it in Excel or other sources, like databases. Being able to speed up that process, then connect it to automated reports, can fully lay out that entire pathway.

The primary use case is invoicing and billing. The first thing that we used it for was some content migration from one video hosting provider to another. We later on moved to invoicing and billing, which included time sheets, management, and feeding data into our accounting system.
We have multiple primary use cases for UiPath. We have already implemented three, but I foresee many use cases in the future. For example, I am working on one which will automate the gathering of information to comply with subpoenas.

In general, we use it for automating monotonous, manual processes which a lot of our clients have. We also use it for internal employees in our company.
We automate processes across a number of different agencies. We automate whatever use case they determine. We tend to focus on the financial management side, but we have other areas that we've delved into such as HR and general data pulls for executive dashboards. Oddly enough, a lot of our clients have not focused on work where there are people actively doing the process already. They've chosen to focus their efforts on processes for which they haven't had the manpower. It has been a little bit of a challenge in that the use cases tend to be coupled with a lot of process-development stuff. We have to figure out what the process is before we can even begin to automate it. But over time, we plan on trying to shift that focus back to areas where they have a large number of people doing a process all the time and getting them to shift those people into doing the complex processes where there isn't a structure already determined.
It is looking externally at how we can enable the government to identify efficiencies and improve effectiveness. The other is, internally, how can we drive efficiencies within HR and finance, with everything that a big corporation can do. * How do we help the government realize these benefits? * How do we help our internal workforce benefit? It is two different things, and they are similar, but they're not the same thing. A lot of people externally are worried about the elimination of jobs, but at the same time, they still want that efficiency, and they are looking for it. We want to drive the effectiveness of the workforce, whomever we're working with. There are plenty of automation opportunities out there: DoD, the federal government, and commercial space. There are all sorts of stuff that we can do. Internally, we feel the same way. There are lot of things that we can do to make ourselves run more efficiently. If we are preaching to the government that they need to be using this, it's beneficial for us to say, "This is what we have done as a company." Our company is 25,000 people across the globe. There are certain opportunities for us to include automation in what we do every day. We are doing it now by instituting RPA, specifically, and the tools that the UiPath bring to the table. It will be a game changer for us, if we can get it done at scale. Automation is growing at our company. A lot of what we do is focused on AI. Going from zero to AI is a Herculean task. It's extremely difficult. However, there are many steps in-between zero and AI that we can do now to help realize the benefit to the company or the federal government, such as the benefits of the efficiencies that we can identify. That intermediate, non-threatening first step can be RPA, which ultimately will lead to enabling AI, but is not AI. Within our company, we are looking to identify what those pre-AI steps are, with the goal in mind that we know that the federal government is asking for AI. What we do in the interim is a type of level set, where you can build an algorithm, AI, or machine learning algorithm. This ultimately is what they want, but what they need right now is to aggregate their data in a structured way to be able to feed into those algorithms. That's step one. This is the first step to getting all your data right. It's not easy, because you have to take people out of the mindset of AI.

Internally, we use UiPath to automate financial transactions, specifically for invoice processing. Externally, on the client side, we use automation in the financial space, primarily. There are various use cases from generic file uploads to transaction processing that we implement for our clients.
We are a system integrator. We work with clients such as the US Federal Government and help them automate whatever their processes are. We have two entities. I work as part of the government solutions unit, and then we have the commercial side which is a global organization. On the global side, there have been some internal implementations as well.
The primary use case of UiPath, with every organization that I've worked with as a consultant, has been to make business processes more efficient and the work of their employees more enjoyable.
We have multiple use cases. We are a distributing company, so we are moving containers around at sea. There are a lot of things that you need to do around that. We are trying to automate to help with our bookings created, etc.
We are a pharmaceutical company, producing insulin, primarily for diabetes. We work with other diseases, as well, but our focus is primarily diabetes. We have automated many processes, at least 20 RPAs across the company.
We currently have 150 bots in production. It is used the most where there are repetitive, cumbersome tasks. Where we do need to have somewhat of a decision made, we put it into a decision tree. This is our primary use case. We are looking into other use cases, such as: * How do we use it as a platform for pretotyping? * How do we use it as a platform to drive forward machine learning and artificial intelligence usage in our company?
We have a lot of maps worldwide which order some stuff from my department, and this is the compiled path. This goes into our database, then it comes to us.
We are mostly using it for HR processes. We have two departments: Accounting and HR/Payroll. However, we mostly use it for payroll and travel. We are only using Unattended Robots. We need to start talking about Attended Robots more.
I'm not using it myself. I'm working around it with consultants. I am in network IT. I have seen the product at work and tried it myself. It is sort of easy to use.
The primary use case is to have a platform which allows us to scale rapidly without adding a lot of human labor. We are looking to go global without being dependent on recruiting heavily on back office functions.
We use it to automate administrative functions, like finance and HR tasks. We are also automating a lot of things in our SAP systems, e.g. updating prices. We use it for a lot of small tasks, like downloading something from an particular internal website (e.g., SharePoint in Office 365) and uploading it back, or for doing modifications, then loading them back.
Most of the time, I am a developer. I also have to develop some best practices, but a lot of the time, I'm working on the application and creating Unattended Robots. We have a large amount of old school manual processes which we need to automate, because we have a lot of full-time employees just doing boring stuff. I started last year, so I am a bit fresh in the organization. We have two people: One who analyzes and other develops. I am using version 2018.4, which I find easy to use. We can see some major changes with each version. The IT department sort of hates that I come by every quarter of a year and want an upgrade, but it is very much worth it. There is a lot of stuff happening out there, and it's dangerous to be left behind by a few versions.

When it comes to finance and HR services the product has great potential. Our company is big, so there are a lot of opportunities. We are doing automation internally for financial processes. Externally, for our customers, we are developing a shared service center. This is not restrained to any one specific area, like HR or finance. Anything that is manually or taking a lot of human effort, we try to automate (by selling it to our customers).
We are working on trying to optimize some of the current processes which have been selected for review. I have been talking with our business partner to try and find the best way or tool to optimize these processes.
It is for automating tasks that are not meaningful for people to do, tasks that are menial and repetitive. The University of Copenhagen, where I work, is an old institution and we have a lot of different legacy systems that don't work well together. So, we have a lot of people doing administrative tasks that depend on moving data from one system to another. We use UiPath to automate these repetitive tasks and make the robots carry them out, so our people don't have to.
Primary use cases would be within the finance sector. We supply financial services for other government agencies. The main robots that we have in use right now are concerning floating of financial periods, uploading reports, commenting on these reports, and so on. We are starting to look at invoice processing, to a larger degree. Then, we have a few quality and control robots which do checks on data quality, customer information, customer carts, etc. We are using approximately 20 robots right now for different uses. We've opted for professional, traditional developers and programmers to do batch robots. We don't use it in our business units. Possibly because we are a government agency, we don't necessarily get enough IT security around the users applying their own robots. It is not easy to use in this way because we do use traditional programming skills. We are considering moving some tasks out into the workforce for Attended Robots, etc. We think that this will be a problem for us in regards to getting it pushed out there and still maintaining good quality. However, we haven't tried it yet.
We are working on changing all the administrations tasks at the college. For example, with travel refunds to the students, students currently have to go from their homes to the school before they can be refunded their expenses. We want to make a robot which does that instead of the people doing it. I'm using a measurement tool for distance to calculate the measurement from student's homes to the school. Then, this should calculate the amount the student should be refunded.
We are looking at processes and automatization and are at the very beginning of our journey. We have been looking at finalizing the job and making the use cases in insurance assistance.

I have tried the RPA tool for the first time and I already love it. How easy it is: you can do all of the daily tasks which you repeat at one click. Primary use case: educational purpose and automation for content writing. Secondary use case: additional content writing and data scraping.
As a system administrator, I have to create a roundup report before the office begins and at the end of the day. The report consists of statuses of each thin client we have. The robot does all the stuff in just 2-3 minutes, saving our 1-2 hours of time done by a dedicated person.
I have been using UiPath for quite some time now, and I have realized that it is one of the best automation tools out there. We primarily use this tool for automating our business processes and removing repetitive work with the help of automation. The most interesting part about this (easy-to-learn) tool is that it is accepted almost everywhere in the RPA industry. There are a lot of activities in this tool which will help you automate processes easily.
Our primary use case is to create a proof of concept using UiPath. Here we automated the business process, and it's a repetitive task. So we used UiPath and automated our internal project, and we also automated the client process as well. We automated SAP application, and we also automated mainframes. UiPath also has the Orchestrator which very flexible.
Reading non-PO invoice details form a SharePoint form, validating it, sending it for manager approval, and on receiving manager approval, entering the invoice details with invoice and approval attachments to SAP.
We use it for price quotes on the internet, looking for the best cost benefits for our customers after researching our thefts, creating a table and sending the data by email to the customer.
* Automatization of the collection process, downloading information from the web to Excel, and processing this information in our core systems * Policy issuing for standard products * IT: security accounts maintenance * Regulatory reports.
We use UiPath internally to automate the repetitive processes of our company. We use the tool for the generation of reports and automatic sending of emails, as well as automation of registrations and the likes.
The software is used for automating the process improvement and simplifying workflow as our organization is an insurance-based organization. Also, it is used to create some small repositories which can be used for future use of process improvement.

Gone are the days when you have to deploy 100s of people for repeated tasks. We regularly update invoices of different channels and merchants to our workflow. Capturing each invoice requires some human attention. There are chances of using OCR or text-based extraction of invoices. We easily automate each type of invoice extraction to our spreadsheet. This reduces one hour (max 1.5 hr) of 100 employees in our organization.

We currently use the tool to sell solutions to internal customers. Most of the work that we automate is the migration of data between systems, automation of emails, extraction of data from PDFs with OCR, among others. The gain has been perceptible from the first moment, as human errors have been noticeably reduced to almost zero. Another good point for us is that we can leave the robot working for as long as we want.
To automate existing mundane tasks in the current project. Report automation, ticket automation, and browser automation are what we have achieved through this tool.
Using UiPath, we are currently solving tax calculation, mortgage calculation, etc. We have realized that UiPath doesn't actually require you to use code to develop workflows. These can be created by using simple drag-and-drop activities. This is helpful almost everywhere. Their community edition being free helps a lot.

I am working in a virtual desktop client machine. I have been working as a .NET and RPA UiPath developer. I have an overall of three years of experience in UiPath. I have automated individually, or with a team, and I have successfully completed more projects and also got rewarded.
Development of bots to increase the posting of payments in a billing software for clients. This software is completely controlled via remote desktop, so there are sometimes that the speed of the bots is affected. We also review medical documents and save the records in this software. Currently, we are implementing the bots to check some docs and save them in batches for better control of the files.
I am undergoing UiPath advanced certification. I am performing a use case of a bank where it has to send frequent reminders to its clients who took loans like home loan, personal loan, etc., to pay EMI every month on time. To improve the process for efficiency as well as accuracy, I used UiPath automation to interact with their internal applications and send reminders in a timely manner with no errors.
Development of any RPA solution using UiPath is very efficient and flexible. But at the same time, the testing is very difficult. The debugging feature of UiPath is quite difficult to understand, and there is no option that we could go and start from any step, rather, it needs to start from the very first step of the process which would be again a time-consuming factor.
I am automating a validation of work items between BP open and SAP. Avoiding too much manual labor on the part of the user, freeing the time gained for more analytical and less repetitive work, all developed on Windows 10.
Automating the repetitive rule-driven and data-driven process, a process which can be run continuously without manual input has been automated using UiPath.
This solution is to provide robotic process automation solutions. In simple words, it is to automate the steps a human user may have to take repetitively on one or more systems to complete any process flow.
We used UiPath to improve PMO efficiency internally. We programmed the bot to match receipts to expense report listings based out of Excel in order to confirm accuracy for client billing. This was a process that previously required two levels of review and about seven hours per person to complete.
The use cases we have focused on are: * A high privileged account in Azure cloud * NSG-ACL checks in Azure cloud * Certificate renewal process * Daily management reports.
We use the tool to create bots, which access the mailbox. Given a certain type of e-mail will make the treatment the same, from access to the internal system, making inventory movement, as well as informing teams of availability of material, need of purchases of the same, alert any problem and carry out price quotations on the internet using the data scrap.
We are currently implementing a solution for a large telephony company to migrate data between systems. This data is fetched from a system A and placed on a system B. Much of UiPath's functions are well used, such as integrations with PDF, OCR, Excel, and a few others. The financial return tends to be large since the robot manages to work 24/7 and with almost zero errors.
There are multiple use cases: Automation of manual Excel workflow: Previously, our account support executive used to manually prepare client Excel sheet using a variety of third-party integration. Data flows manually into Excel and is then exported manually to a different system. What a fantastic work done by UiPath using integrations and webhooks. We almost saved 24 hours of weekly effort per employee and imagine we have to do this every time of the year and for hundreds of clients. Automated data entry: Automated data entry of generated invoices was made so much easier with OCR recognition that we are trying to explore it in more departments like human resource and support systems.
Data scraping. I use UiPath for extracting Twitter and TripAdvisor reviews from hashtag and comments. Then, I analyse the positive and negative data to a table using Python script which uses natural language understanding.
I have completed an aviation project using this tool. It provided a nearly smooth and seamless performance. The environment was Windows, and we had to automate the Windows-based application. We had to extract data from Excel and put it into this tool and run the tool to get the results. Those results will then be sent to Excel again and will be used for providing better aviation data to the pilots.
I use UiPath in my company to migrate data between systems of a large telephone company where I use various functions available in UiPath, as well as OCR, PDF integration, email integration, SAP integration.
With automation, you can create daily reconciliation reports with no errors (UiPath helps to retrieve the report from SAP, mainframes, web sites, etc., and VBA macros help to create reports very quickly — very useful for back office works).
I have implemented finance and pharma-based solutions using UiPath. I have automated processes like cash management, invoice validation, Java applications, and Citrix-based applications using UiPath. The application involved was Oracle EBS, and it was a Citrix environment. Processes mainly included cash management, month-end closure, and bank reconciliation to name a few.
On using UiPath, once, we had a problem while reading data from the browser that was on a virtual machine as it was not providing the accurate text using Google OCR, as the background was changing for the web page. So we found an alternative solution to get the process working. As a benefit, it is really beneficial as it provides vast support and every feature is there in the tool. Also, the recording feature really helps while developing the process. One more feature is that in the variable tab, if the name of the variable is changed, then it will be reflected in the whole process.
POC and implementation were done for the in-house team, automating the penalty system of transportal services where the penalty on a no-show user is being calculated, and every user is intimated the monetary value of a no-show. This is then intimated through the mail, and also, the list of such users is sent to the payroll department to debit the penalty from the monthly payroll. Windows Server 2012 was used and some PowerShell scripting apart from UI automation using UiPath.
Learning RPA: Open source (community version) of UiPath, and their academy — one of the best academy for RPA in the market. They split the content into different courses and content into similar sections which is easy and makes it easy for self-learning. Coming to the design/implementation part: It's completely easy and simple to work on. It reduces the complication at ease. There are different options available for all the IT solution which can be utilized for effective management.
Fast-tracking the interfacing between an in-house planning application and an international partner's planning application. Using RPA to do check and balances on invoices, and consequently uploading this data to a tax engine and extracting VAT, European sales listing and Intrastat reports. Finally, these reports are uploaded to the dedicated web portals. Extracting handover data of wagon from a data lake and entering it into the follow-up application, since there is no direct integration yet.
* Automating applications that the client requires in the project * Mostly automating day-to-day tasks which are like user-setup, user termination and password-reset in an application. We use the 2018 version. The community of UiPath is very supportive and active; that makes it very much understanding.
* Accounts payable and accounts receivable * Automating the process of extracting data from vendor invoices and onboarding it to the company's financial application.

I'm working in the banking sector, and as we all know, there exist many repetitive tasks which are actually done by human workforces. I'm automating them with UiPath. Accuracy, time and cost are the benefits I've figured out from my experience.
We are developing automation for healthcare claims, insurances, and billing. We are using UiPath for Citrix cloud, web, and desktop automation. We saved 60% FTE by using UiPath.
Used widely in automations of business processes of all kinds. There's a lot of different useful features in UiPath that makes it easy to use and able to create even very complex process automations.
Be it any mundane tasks like invoice processing, document management, document extraction, and migration, order processing, KYC filling, application integration, Citrix automaton, or any such rule-based tasks can be automated with RPA technology. Among all RPA solution providers, UiPath is the best choice and market disrupter, from our hands-on experience with the top three RPA vendors while shortlisting UiPath as our RPA vendor. With its intuitive visual coding drag and drop and Microsoft SharePoint workflow foundation technology and open platform capability, code development and debugging are a cakewalk for anyone with minimal or even no coding background.
I have been working as a UiPath RPA developer for two years and three months. Using UiPath, I have provided more than 20 solutions over six different projects. UiPath was one of the leading RPA tools and it will be easier to develop when compared to other RPA tools.
I'm working in a consulting company as an RPA developer. We have some projects with clients connected with automations. That is my primary case of using this solution daily.
We are automating all transaction-based processes, primarily in the finance department and sales operations. With this, the personnel involved in these transaction-based activities have been able to start working on more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.
* To execute the automation of ticket creation in ServiceNow * For the critical situation: creating an incident * For the request: creating a request in ServiceNow.
Training with automation use cases including files manipulation, web automation and various desktop applications in the supply chain, HR activities, tax, and financial activities.
This solution is used widely in different areas: from accounting to product order processes. I solve different business problems, like processing orders, collecting information, etc. There are many benefits: It's easy to use, exception handling is easy to handle, and flowcharts can be implemented directly.

My primary use case is for creating custom-specific products based on the customer's needs. The requirements can be received from the customer on emails and then based on it the order can be created. This reduces time, ensuring no human error and on time delivery. The total time taken to enter this in the system is less compared to the manual process which is indeed error-prone. This also removes the process of reviewing the order for correctness as the straight-through processing is enhanced. By making this scale on all the other locations and geographies, lots of time and effort can be saved. This also enhances the reputation of the services and organization. In addition to this, the confidence created by the successful implementation is a real eye-opener as the big step is taken with great success.

We have acquired UiPath with both the robot and orchestrator. I want to make sure that we get the right return on investment and with the orchestrator you are not only able to use the robots during the day, but you are also able to schedule them during the night. You maximize your investment 24/7. Lombard International Insurance is the number one in wealth investment and for us the onboarding process is a critical one. We have started with KYC (know your client) which is an extremely painful process, a lot of manual work, but now have some very good friends and colleagues that are happy to have Ruby the robot as their assistant. On top of this we also have tax reporting, overdraft, reinvestment, so there are several processes, some like KYC for instance.

I work in finance functions, so typically implementing it within our finance accounting hub that we have out in Manila when most of our processes are stabilized and globalized experts. So, it's a very good fit to have our processes automated out in Manila.
Our platform, it's called Cevitr. It's a best-of-breed platform through which we offer automation as a service. In our world, we have two kinds of robots. Our robots have a personality. Jo is our robot. Jo is a gender-neutral term that can be John, that can be Josephine, that can be Joe. We have two variance of Jo. Simple Jo, which does the normal routine repetitive mundane stuff, and Smart Jo, which is more focused with the AI and cognitive capability. Both of these are part of our co-platform offering, Cevitr Jo.
We're specializing in law and local government, so that's our target market at the moment. Obviously it's usable everywhere, but that's our market, and we find that that's where there's a lot of opportunity for sale.

The thing that I find very interesting with UiPath is that no process is too simple or too complex to put UiPath on it, so it can work anywhere on any type of process. This is why we're able to put in on customer facing processes, but also back office processes, for example in voice processing.
The UiPath robot took over the process that supported the creation of the timesheets, their insertion in Oracle ERP, and the status tracking in Oracle ERP.

I work in the healthcare domain. We've automated a lot of financial and invoice-types of business processes, bringing in efficiencies in terms of saving time spent by field representatives in processing requests.
As a partner, we see many use cases. Our clients are really looking to UiPath or RPA as a means of digital transformation. Some of the areas we see them use it are in finance, supply chain, human resources, IT automation, and tax functions. The way we tell our clients to look at UiPath is that everywhere they have repetitive functions happening, they should explore RPA as an opportunity.

We are accountants and consultants and there are many mundane processes in auditing. Using RPA to automate not only allows us to be more precise, but we can also audit a larger population of material. We get accuracy and speed, and those are our main goals.
We work in the healthcare industry. We are trying to establish a use case for our company to speed up our processes. Because with FDA regulations, there are a lot of processes to follow. There are a lot of phases of implementation to follow. For example, if you want a drug for cancer, a lot of time is spent, but it takes more time to release to the market because of all the manual labor intensive work which is happening. Therefore, I am working with legislators and the FDA to see where we can cut paths. There's a lot of scope for automation. UiPath is one of the best product for this.
We are automating back office business processes focusing on business finance and tax, specifically. We are just recently starting our implementation, but we have been doing a proof of concept for the last year or so on the community edition. We recently signed the license agreement will be moving forward with implementing it full-time. I am functioning as a lead developer.

Primary use case is to find the highest value add processes and automate them to allow people to work on other things, which are of higher value and more strategic. I currently have a team of about 15 people on my team, as a central team. We are at 35 licenses, so we have about 35 developers across the company.
UiPath is best at its core and with the help of plugins from UiPath and community you get solutions to a lot of problems out of the box. I have tried couple of more platforms, but the easiness, diversity and flexibility that UiPath provides is unparalleled. In the recent top 50 enterprise application at g2crowd, UiPath is at 18th place and topmost in the automation platforms. I have done quite a lot of different real-time projects with UiPath. In one big project, there was a lot of loan applications from scanned documents. We used Abbyy Flexicapture for reading OCR and ICR text and we read it very accurately. It really boosted the moral and now we are automating the whole CAD department of the bank. Now we are looking forward to more complex processes and try using the ML and AI into it.
UiPath is a user-friendly automation software that streamlines business processes by automating repetitive tasks. It offers extensive automation capabilities, seamless integration with other systems, and robust security measures.
Users appreciate its intuitive design, ease of use, and ability to automate complex workflows.
Its seamless integration with various applications ensures smooth data exchange and enhances workflow management, while strong security measures protect...
We adopted UiPath to leverage its generative AI capabilities for rule-based automation. This technology enhances the resilience of our automated processes, ensuring continued functionality even when underlying systems or data undergo changes that would typically disrupt traditional automation.
UiPath is used to automate processes, eliminating the need to increase headcount.
We are primarily utilizing the platform within our department to gain buy-in for the customer's system.
We are targeting utilizing Gen AI for some social media marketing. We haven't really implemented it yet.
We started using AI in Document Understanding by leveraging it against our models for different documents from our customers, primarily in the finance space. We have also used AI to train models for land management documents, helping them learn as we receive new document types. Recently, we've used it to analyze documents and articles online to understand sentiment toward our company. We analyze and summarize things people say in articles or posts elsewhere, which allows us to collect industry trend data. We are considering using Clipboard AI for smaller, ad-hoc data processing tasks because it can sometimes be more effective than Document Understanding.
Our primary use case involves automating low-hanging fruit processes such as daily reporting, order entry, and AP invoice processing. We are a printing company with 33,000 to 34,000 transactions a year, and 70% of these are repeat orders that we aim to automate.
We are primarily looking to solve business challenges related to processing unstructured documents.
Our primary use case for UiPath revolves around document imaging, specifically scraping data off documents and digitizing them. We only use it in our accounting department and haven't expanded it to the rest of the company. We've seen some success with the projects on the financial team, but we might be resource-constrained to get other departments involved. It's hard for them to adapt to new technologies.
We have done work for customer success by collecting information from various sources such as email, IVR, and chat. Our solution performs classification, sentiment analysis using the AI of UiPath, and then data validation and posting. We've implemented this for one of the biggest banks in India.
Our primary use case involves the democratization of software through the Sysen Lever and Power User Program. Essentially, we are trying to automate complex processes that can be easily rules-based, eliminating the need for repetitive motions.
Our use cases for UiPath AI and automation are diverse and cover a number of functional areas within our business. We are doing everything from building simple to medium to complex RPAs. We have started utilizing communication mining and have a unique use case leveraging document understanding. Essentially, we are getting our feet wet across the board.
We have been using UiPath for almost the last five years in the industry, where a lot of research development, and clinical trials are happening. Many of the processes are centered around clinical trials, especially around translation. Being a global company, we conduct a lot of clinical research involving various languages and regulations. Earlier, we were outsourcing translation services, which presented security and timing challenges. With UiPath, we built bots that collect clinical trial documents from various sources and translate them into the desired language, ensuring security and faster delivery. We no longer need to outsource, and translations are now super fast, sometimes within hours.
We use UiPath for claims processing, enrollment, and interpreting what's on documents, and then we use the data that's in them for different purposes. I'm sure there are many other use cases. We're still brainstorming and giving our leaders some ideas. Frontline employees also have process improvement ideas.
We have been using the RPA functionality in UiPath mostly for cash management. Our biggest use case is submitting wires and payments.
We use AI mainly around sales processing and document understanding. Our current use cases involve traditional automation, processing different orders, order formats, languages, and language translation, and creating actual orders in any ERP solution. We've done a Communications Mining POC, and we think that's promising, but we haven't used UiPath's process mining because we have another solution for that.
I currently work for a data center company serving real estate clients. Our primary use case for UiPath involves large-scale automation using Document Understanding to process invoices. I have two models running. One is for our general invoices, including everything we pay for people coming on-site at all data centers worldwide. There's a separate model for utilities. Accuracy in our utilities spending is crucial for our data center business, where power costs are passed on to customers. Currently, we still use traditional machine learning from when we initially developed these models three years ago. However, we are creating a company strategy to implement GenAI and deal with the legal implications. GenAI is something we're considering as an enhancement to our document processing and data collection. We're still trying to figure out how that happened. We're figuring out which documents and data to include in an internal model and draw conclusions from. When working with data, our top priority is ensuring that the data is updated, accurate, and well-maintained. There's a structure involved because a ton of our information is in SharePoint, which is a mess. We have two SharePoint sites for every employee.
We use UiPath across departments, including HR, IT, procurement, and the supply chain. One use case is hiring and other simple HR-related tasks. We also automate complex processes, like using Document Understanding and machine learning to extract vendor contract information and input it into our procurement system.
We are considering implementing AI as we are a healthcare staffing company in the education sector. Our use case focuses on processing a large number of emails and resumes. We aim to mine resumes to determine which are best for rapid and successful placements. On the communication side, we wish to perform sentiment analysis to assess how well our salespeople respond to clients.
Our primary use case is IDP. We're in the Fed market, so a lot of it is all IDP driven. AI and automation are priorities. We're not exclusively a UiPath shop, but we're shifting to utilize it more because we know there are opportunities, especially in the realm of document capture.
We're a food ingredient distribution company that receives documents on ingredients' nutrition, allergens, microbial testing, etc. We primarily use UiPath to process these documents. It was our proof of concept for using the system initially, and we'll expand it to process invoices and other related use cases. We operate using an enterprise operating system. It's not a technological thing. It's how you determine project priorities. Soon, we'll set up process mining. Then, the IT team and technology group will decide what we do. Right now, the business units effectively vote on the next quarter's priorities.
We are using UiPath for traditional RPA automations at the moment.
We primarily use UiPath's AI features to pull information from chatbot conversations with insurance providers and identify decisions made.
We're a financial institution, and we started using UiPath for small, simple processes and day-to-day tasks, such as adding and removing users and updating information, but we're also exploring opportunities to automate lending processes. We typically evaluate a process first to see if it's appropriate for automation. Sometimes, we've identified bad processes and needed to update documentation before we can implement them.
We currently use UiPath to process birth certificates. One of my tasks was to apply OCR to the birth certificates and use a named entity recognition model to extract details like the names of the individuals, parents, and the place of birth. The project requires us to handle certificates from all 50 states, and every state uses a different format. We're supposed to be doing intelligent automation, but we're not there yet. I work in the applied analytics and statistics section, and we're supposed to find ways to inject more advanced analytical methods into some of these places where we can automate. Our IT department has a CoE that conducts intake processes. They use Automation Hub to review each process, and the executive governance board votes on it. I don't know how they decide internally because I'm not part of that.
We're still in the exploration and discovery phase. We're learning about UiPath's capabilities and how they fit into the overall picture. We haven't separated AI from our normal process at this point. I work in our company's contact center, and we engage them in many different ways. We talk to management about their problems, report large volumes of transactions, and work side-by-side with the agency to find trouble cases and where they frequently perform manual tasks.
We use UiPath to replicate what medical coders do by inputting codes from certain medical systems into another. It also automates our billing cycle, allowing us to input the codes directly into the insurance billing system to receive payments faster.
We are a diagnostic laboratory that receives tissue samples from all over the country daily. To manage these, we implement UiPath for Document Understanding to process requisitions from clinical providers. This information is then loaded into our laboratory information system, enabling us to carry out the diagnostic process. We have a dozen bots operating across various functions, assisting in tasks such as screening resumes in HR and data entry on patient information.
We primarily use UiPath to move data and consolidate data formats efficiently. We are involved in claims management within healthcare. We are also exploring DevOps tooling and CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
One of our simpler UiPath use cases involves running an SQL query, copying the results into a spreadsheet, and then emailing them to the appropriate people. We also have a third-party system for parking at the hospital. Visitors need to fill out a web form, and the automation process kicks in once the web form is filled out. The data is input into a database and then automatically processed in bundles. The form is filled out automatically for them, and it batches every thirty minutes.
We're an insurance company, so we use UiPath to enter customer and policy data. Four of us work on the data side of bot development, which is our department's priority. We have multiple inflows of different ideas and use cases coming from various departments that ensure the company runs smoothly and efficiently. Implementations and updates allow for frequent email communications on Monday mornings weekly. Our team sends out email notifications if anything significant is urgent. We're still working on some of the aspects that we're looking to solve by attending this event. We've got some integrations that UiPath provides.
We use UiPath for social media marketing.
I use UiPath to automate repetitive tasks within our organization. It helps us deploy processes without human intervention for some tasks.
For two years, I have focused on automating workflows related to processing documents in formats like PDF, Excel, and CSV. Using the document understanding feature, we have handled forecast orders and purchase order invoices. If you use input files like Excel, PDF, and CSV, we can automate file validation, such as checking data accuracy, format compliance, or missing information. It's integrated with Boomi, so after the files are validated, they're sent to Boomi for further processing. Boomi provides us with the RTF file, and we use UiPath to validate its contents and correctness. It automates the process of converting the RTF file into an Excel file. Another process is remittance, where we can get files from clients, validate them, and submit them to the credit managers for correction.
I piloted the introduction of UiPath to my team with two projects. The first, domain monitoring, automated our ten-plus Pega applications' quarterly security and health checks. We designed an architecture that could be mapped across all domains, streamlining the process to run weekly instead of quarterly. This provided timely reports on application health via Webex. The second project was a more straightforward test suite automation for another UI-based application. These two successful pilot projects showcased the capabilities of UiPath, with the domain monitoring still in use today.
We use UiPath to automate ERP and CRM portal processes, integrate them with SAP and various external applications, gather data, and perform functions to generate reports. UiPath enables us to carry out numerous activities, and its usage is not limited to a single variable but rather multiple ones. UiPath's primary goal is to enhance the scalability and accuracy of daily tasks within any organization. The core concept behind UiPath is to boost productivity by mimicking human actions, automating repetitive tasks and freeing up time for individuals to focus on other activities.
We primarily use the solution for automation purposes in our various departments, including ticketing customer service and operations concerning numbers, such as statistics.
Our team manages RPA licensing, including evaluating other tools besides UiPath. We consider factors like upcoming automation reports and license renewal costs when deciding between UiPath, Power Automate, or other options. By comparing features and licensing expenses, we make informed choices about which RPA tool best suits our needs. UiPath handles our invoice processing and a variety of ERP tasks, including automating processes in SAP and Oracle. We also leverage it for some portal interactions and other invoice-related functionalities. We use the UiPath orchestrator platform.
UiPath is a business automation platform that allows us to design and implement rule-based automation across various applications. In essence, we define the rules and conditions e.g., for processing data in a CRM system, and UiPath automates the entire workflow. Beyond processing, UiPath can also automate tasks like document reading, data entry, and system updates e.g., price changes. In our specific role within the telecom domain, we might use UiPath for design integration, network optimization, and other tasks defined by our business rules. It's important to remember that successful automation requires well-defined rules, test data, and an evaluation of scalability and return on investment. UiPath's strength lies in its ability to integrate with various applications, including Office 365, CRM systems, and HR applications, as long as these applications have a user interface with identifiable elements or objects.
We are using it to automate business processes in the organization.
The use cases for UiPath depend on the specific requirements of each department within an organization. We typically meet with small groups of employees to identify potential automation opportunities within their departments. If a use case is suitable for automation, we develop the feature and build the bot for the customer.
We mainly use UiPath for automation testing processes. I am from delivery and project management, and I have a team member under me who is developing automation processes for me.
We use UiPath for intelligent automation integrated with machine learning models.
We use UiPath Studio, specifically the enterprise version, for developing projects per organizational requirements.
The use cases are quite broad. UiPath is used in customer contact centers, supply chain management, operations, etc. It is useful for the intelligent automation of task-oriented processes.
We use it to automate repetitive processes. We are also using it to manage people and costs. I have used it for automation in telecommunication, HR, and finance. I have also done two projects for IT. It is a combination. I have worked on all these different projects.
We are using UiPath to automate many processes. In my first job, I worked on billing and ticketing. We were automating the process for ticketing and billing for audit. The robot was responsible for auditing the process of an application. It was responsible for calculating the difference between the amount deposited by the visitors and the amount calculated and predicted by the application. It would then decide if it was the correct currency or not. Currently, I am working on many applications, but the classic ones are where we are reading data from Excel or databases and then clarifying the data or closing some billings. I am also working on the process of taking some reservations on some sites. I also sometimes use it to automate something on my personal laptop.
I have several use cases but primarily I use UiPath to input transaction data to the websites.
I developed several use cases using UiPath. One involved website scraping, where I extracted data like temperature, humidity, and pressure for various cities from a specific website and displayed it in an Excel sheet. This was a small project, but my main focus was a prototype for a client: digital marketing automation. Using UiPath, I created an automation to automatically post articles on different social media platforms.
We needed a solution for users that had too many manual tasks. We're in a large bank, and there are tasks like account opening or other items that can be automated using the UiPath system. It can handle auditing as well.
We are a partner of UiPath and a system integrator for our clients. For most clients, we tend to begin by focusing on areas with the highest potential for automation. This typically includes finance, procurement, or HR functions, with the first two being the most common choices. These areas are chosen because their processes are generally stable and repetitive, making them ideal starting points for RPA implementation. However, our experience doesn't end with just one client. We've had numerous engagements, including with large, multi-company groups. Once one division like the "glass division" successfully implemented RPA, it often sparked interest in other divisions like the pharmaceutical division. Demonstrating a solid proof of concept makes it easier to scale the technology to diverse use cases across the organization. Ultimately, overcoming the initial hesitation and showcasing the tool's benefits is crucial. Once the value becomes apparent, a shift often occurs, transitioning from a client-driven demand to a proactive push from various departments eager to eliminate tedious manual tasks.
I am working for a client. I am using on-premises UiPath Orchestrator. I have installed UiPath Studio and deployed some processes for automation. I have used it for SAP automation, Excel automation, and web automation. I have not yet used the AI functionality. I might use it in the future.
UiPath provides a platform for building, managing, scheduling, and monitoring automated processes. We use it for various processes, such as cost analysis, repairing permissions, and manipulating Excel data.
I have done the certification in Microsoft Certified Solution Associate (MCSA) and Microsoft Azure Administration. I look after the actual environment site where we can run the bots. We watch the environment's behavior, and we operate the Orchestrator, which is connected to the AI system. We run different types of processes through Orchestrator, and I am the administrator of Orchestrator. I give the rights and assign roles to the users.
We are using UiPath for office automation for our clients. We use many activities of UiPath. We are using CV, RegEx, Excel automation, and email automation. We are working on a project for a billing company in the US that takes care of patient records for a hospital and saves them on a website. We are handling the patient billing system. We have an email as input at the start of the automation. The bot reads the input. In the input, we have the patient's name and date of birth. The bot searches the patient's name in the EMR hospital application and gets the PDF from the application. We have put some filters on the application. In the PDF, we have a patient's details and a record of their visits and the issues they are having. The bot then uploads the PDF on a website. We process multiple records. There could be 2,000 pages or 500 pages. It varies based on the patient. For example, an 80-year-old might visit the hospital once or twice a week and will have a bigger file with notes and pictures of their visits. We follow HIPAA regulations for extracting patient information.
We use UiPath in various internal departments to automate our HR, financial, and IT operations, including access management and ISO compliance to control traffic. We have UiPath deployed both on-premises and in the cloud.
The primary use case for document processing, automating data extraction from previously hard-to-access documents. This saves time, reduces manual work, and makes hidden data more accessible and usable.
We use UiPath to automate the repetitive tasks typically performed by knowledge workers, with a primary focus on areas such as finance, HR, and supply chain.
We are a consulting firm. We started last year, and we are growing pretty rapidly. We have quite a few document-understanding processes that we are working on. We are a partner of UiPath, so we have various clients in different industries. Currently, we are processing vendor statements to create payments in NetSuite. We also have a three-way match cache application process, and then we have a basic user interface for scraping vendors' websites for payment data and that kind of thing. We are trying to figure out how to incorporate LOMs with everyday processes and get reliable information back. We are also training a lot of machine learning models to extract data from PDFs along with processing contracts. I hope that those get easier to train and that there are more reliable answers or outputs from the models that we train.
We use UiPath across a diverse range of functions and departments, encompassing accounting, human resources, loan servicing, employee progress tracking, and loan origination.
I'm a network engineer at a nuclear power plant, and I oversee multiple crews. I use UiPath to automate the voicemail system, send alerts, and run tests. Our company has about 12,000 employees.
We use UiPath for marketing, accounting, and sales.
We use UiPath to automate various processes across different functions within our organization including back-office operations, with a particular emphasis on finance, procurement, HR, and IT, as RPA technologies initially emerged from the finance sector. Also, we extend our automation services to areas directly associated with production and supply chain operations.
We have a variety of use cases, primarily in finance and HR, which make up around seventy percent of our use cases.
We use UiPath for automating tasks for customer operations.
We primarily use UiPath for RCM and it can handle most tasks effectively, especially when dealing with data extraction from PDF files. There might be more complex scenarios where AI could be more suitable, although the implementation might be challenging. We are in the process of evaluating these AI-powered use cases.
We had two distinct automation needs. First, we aimed to simplify the process of obtaining weekly updates on new employees. This involved automating navigating a portal, identifying new employees, and distinguishing between contractors and full-time employees and aims to streamline maintaining an accurate and current employee database for your company. The second use case focused on case number categorization. We needed to categorize cases originating from sources like SSM, DC Salesforce, and others into different categories, such as origin-related or finance-related, to prioritize and address them based on their urgency and type.
I use UiPath for a variety of tasks, including automating user interfaces, processing documents, utilizing process mining, performing test automation, and even handling natural language processing.
We use UiPath to automate the extraction of information from PDF files and populate websites with this data. Our primary goal is to save time for our business users, allowing them to focus on more engaging tasks instead of manually clicking and inputting information on various websites.
We use UiPath for invoice processing and PDF extraction.
I have been in three different organizations working with UiPath. In all of them, I had to create the center of excellence for UiPath. For automation, we decided to use UiPath because it was easy to learn. We had citizen developers involved. Most of the use cases were typical manual repetitive tasks and did not involve too much intelligence. I did not use the AI components in any of the use cases that I have done in the past. We mainly had end-to-end automation of simple processes. They were not too complex. I have worked in the energy sector, and there were processes that were connected to renewable energy projects, but they were not related to a good cause, such as improving sustainability. We also had processes that did not provide any financial gains for the company, but they improved the motivation of employees. For example, we automated a process to check employees' birthdays and sent an email congratulating the person and tagging their manager as well. There were no financial gains, but it had a good impact on employees.
We use UiPath for SAP automation, detecting document sections, web automation, and external applications. We use both UiPath RPA and UiPath Document Understanding. UiPath Document Understanding is for data extraction, while we use UiPath RPA for basic purposes and use .NET. We also used UiPath once to automate processes dealing with good causes, particularly in Ecolab. The company dealt with floor cleaners and hand sanitizers for hospitals in the US, and at that time, the demand for sanitizers and floor cleaners was through the roof. It was so high that we had to automate processes using UiPath to fulfill the number of orders coming in, for instance, thirty thousand orders a day. We use UiPath in multiple departments, such as HR, Procurement, and Manufacturing.
I'm currently working as a solutions architect as well as the lead developer for UiPath. I have a vast number of use cases in various sectors and with SAP enterprise applications. I worked in the insurance sector and health sector, accomplishing different use cases. I've used the solution in manufacturing in terms of procurement. We deal with a lot of products that come in and out and everything is being tagged in the SAP Enterprise application. We use UiPath RPA in order to close all the purchase orders that are already accomplished - and this needs to be done in SAP. UiPath is completely responsible for interacting with SAP applications in order to close purchase orders. I have developed a process that handles around 500 to 600 invoices a day, purchase orders a day. I'm running through multiple bots simultaneously.
We use UiPath to minimize human effort by automating repetitive business processes.
We use UiPath to automate processes.
Our use cases are generally related to front-end UI-based automations that emulate tasks done by teams. For example, we do front-end SAP automation for data entry and scraping or posting data to websites that are related to the organization. We use UiPath for other automations like extracting and manipulating data from Excel. The primary use cases are in finance, HR, and operations. In logistics, it's used in full-sprint solutions.
We use it for automation with different applications and use Document Understanding, AI Center, and Action Center.
We have been using UiPath to automate regular activities for a business. I'm currently working for a vendor that has a contract with a business. We are using the UiPath solution to automate all the activities that they have been doing on a regular basis. These activities have simple functions, mostly with Excel data entry and some internal applications that the client needs. So we use UiPath to take some input, and then we process the activities for the business. Then, we share our output with them as a report on a daily basis or a monthly basis.
We use UiPath to automate business processes. We use UiPath Orchestrator and other products in the cloud, but we deploy the robots to our own internal network. The robots are managed by the cloud, but they run within our applications on-premises. The UiPath administration system and configuration are also done in the cloud.
Unattended Automations are the best value from an RPA solution to an organization. It makes sure human employees are now more productive 95X.
We work with the government on HR-related data and banking reconciliation. We use the solution in the insurance industry for claims management. We use the product in different use cases. We use it for automating repetitive tasks, email and document parsing, and posting data from different systems to centralized systems. In most cases, we use it to compare different Excel sheets for reconciliation and updating the master system.
I am a UiPath developer. I have automated web-based processes like HR and finance. I have also worked on a use case consisting of web-based automation, Excel automation, and email automation.
I've used the solution within the healthcare system in the past. At this time, I use it for mortgages. I use the solution to automate any digital processes that have specific rules and steps to follow and can potentially save the company a lot of time and money.
We have many use cases, but the primary ones are on the finance side for intelligent automation. We use it for system updates and system manipulations.
We can't disclose our exact use cases, but we do intelligent automation with UiPath.
I work on database automation. We just delivered a dynamic workflow in an Excel automation as well. We work on many types of formulas. In addition, we develop physical automation. For example, we created a process that posts many photos at once on many groups.
We utilize UiPath to manage workflows and deploy application solutions into our customers' environments. UiPath simplifies various business tasks, such as automating applications, Excel, and segregating data. We deploy UiPath both on-premises and in the cloud depending on the customer requirements.
I use UiPath for invoice processing. We download all the invoices from our application and then send them individually to the respective customers via email. This involves email automation and automation of the user interface.
We use UiPath for developing and implementing technical applications that provide data solutions.
I am a developer, and I use UiPath to extract PDFs for invoices and logistics in the banking industry. UiPath can be deployed either on-premises or in the cloud, depending on the customer's requirements.
I work for a software solution company, and its use cases are related to HR products.
We use UiPath for automation. As a consultant, we have been involved in many client projects and deployed UiPath using a hybrid model.
I use it for RPA in bank reconciliation, credit card operations, retail banking, vendor invoice management, purchase order matching, and employee onboarding.
We are a distributor and most of our customers were manufacturing and financial companies, so the use cases fell into categories like financial, accounting, and procurement departments. We used it to improve business processes.
We utilize UiPath to automate manual and repetitive tasks that range from simple Excel manipulations to web scraping. We have several use cases related to refinancing, such as handling accounts payable for invoice processing, remittances, and accounts receivable, among others. In addition to that, UiPath enables us to develop public-facing applications that are integrated with automation. This automation is triggered automatically whenever there are user interactions or events, resulting in numerous use cases. For instance, if the requested data is not already available in the document, we can obtain input from customers using UiPath. Furthermore, we employ UiPath products for automatic invoice processing. When we receive invoices in PDF format, we digitize them using our own OCR engine. Subsequently, this information can be utilized to save data into systems like SAP. We extensively automate ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, and NetSuite. We also use UiPath for application testing. We have built several test cases for suppression, user acceptance, and so on, which can be scheduled to run or run on demand.
We utilize UiPath for the automation process within our organization.
50 percent of our business involves Digital Integration Automation, specifically in the banking and finance sectors. In this domain, we automate various processes, primarily focusing on banking processes such as lending and loan administration. Our operations primarily revolve around the core banking systems of the banks. Essentially, we maintain complex systems and infrastructure utilizing over 20 automation robots through UiPath. We deploy on-premises, in the cloud, and also utilize hybrid models.
Our primary use case is for RPA. We use it for checking invoices and sending out electronic letters. It is also going to check the absence entered by people when they are sick and see if those fill-outs are correct.
The business side of our company has different processes and they send us requests to develop automation for them.
We use it mostly for the banking and insurance domains. We are a service-based company and the tools we use depend on our clients' requirements.
One of the use cases is related to material billing. For the material billing process, previously, when a vendor invoice came into our SAP system, our staff had to write invoice data and process the invoice. We transferred this process to RPA. We now have only one robot focusing on this project. It handles about 120 invoices in a month. We have not yet used UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. We are always thinking about using AI and machine learning in our development, but we have not had a project in which we could use AI. We might use it in the near future. It is deployed on-prem, but we are thinking about changing it to the cloud.
We primarily use UiPath for science-related automations.
I have used UiPath for multiple use cases, such as data entry processes or extracting information from emails to certain applications. I have also used it for financial processes like invoicing and analytics, and there are IT applications like user onboarding.
UiPath is an end-to-end automation tool that helps businesses accelerate their processes by providing solutions for automating routine activities. These solutions enable faster and more efficient business exchanges.
We do workflow automation for some of the functions such as form-filling or filtering data accession on the client's web application. We use UiPath RPA for data accession and other processes. We have done workflow automation that: * Opens a client's website. * Filters out the current data. * Lists out all the records that need to be processed. * Opens each record. * Enters the details gathered from a spreadsheet or somewhere else. * Submits the application. It does that for all these users that have been filtered out. That's why we're using UiPath.
I use UiPath to automate getting the relevant data from Excel and PDF files and for normalizing the data.
I use UiPath for PDF automation. About 10 to 15 employees use this tool in our organization.
We use UiPath for replicating manual tasks and PDF automation.
My company builds software for various businesses, and we use UiPath to automate data entry, perform repetitive tasks, and develop and deploy the software. We also use UiPath for document management, reporting, and analytics. We use UiPath in multiple departments, including marketing and analytics. There are 17 users. Most of them are software engineers and developers, but our entire executive team also has access.
We primarily use UiPath for automation processes. One of the major use cases is the approval system that we have. Our system goes through a lot of approval and workflow steps, and we have automated the entire process using UiPath.
I'm using it for automation.
We have done a lot of things with UiPath for different customers. I have done Java application automation and PDF automations. We use it for all kinds of automation. For example, for one client, we're working on invoice processing, supply-chain automation, and their technical services.
We were looking for robotic process automation and we have been trying the UiPath Community Edition. We mainly need to automate day-to-day activities related to wireless connections, such as our WiFi device registration process. We currently have three to four employees currently doing this process and it is really time-consuming. We want a bot to do these repetitive procedures. We will be doing the same procedure for server-side configurations as well for repetitive Windows-based processes. We are looking to save most of the system admin headaches.
We have two primary use cases. We use UiPath to scrape data from multiple websites and platforms, mainly for competitive intelligence and internal use. The other use case is basic automation, that is, moving files from one system to another when there is no direct integration. Through UiPath and leveraging RPAs, we pull data from one system, for example, an S3 bucket or Google Drive, and put it into our database.
We use UiPath to make processes. In addition to UiPath Studio, the platform that develops processes, UiPath includes other applications like Orchestrator, AI Center, Test Suite, Action Center, etc. I had the opportunity to work with UiPath Studio to develop and deliver processes to clients and scheduled them in production using the Orchestrator. I had the chance to automate many platforms in Excel, emails, et cetera. I developed around 20 processes. I work with many medium-sized and large enterprises and a few small ones. Typically, the clients send us their PCs, and we work on their infrastructure. My clients usually have many departments, and all of them use UiPath. I use Orchestrator in the cloud, but clients, like banks, prefer the on-prem version because of security constraints. For me, there is no significant difference between the Orchestrator in the cloud and on-prem. We can schedule and maintain robots. They have essential common functionalities.
My main use case for this product is process automation. For example, we use UiPath to make quick and easy applications for our internal office use.
I implement UiPath for other companies. My specialization is software integration and digital transformation. I also manage UiPath for some organizations. We're a digital marketing agency that helps companies undergo a digital transformation for data and analytics. We help them automate marketing and data analysis for researchers and the organization itself. The primary use case is to help the marketing department collect data about user experience and interaction. We also automate repetitive IT work and connect it with marketing. In other words, we extract data from the IT operations to use for marketing purposes. UiPath is also used in every department to reduce manual work. UiPath has workflows and templates for every use case. We use nearly all of them in all departments with pre-configured templates and workflows, but we mainly use UiPath for IT operations, marketing, and finance. And the three are our primary use for it. We build the procedures and generate automation. We use public, private, and hybrid clouds, but we mainly use public and hybrid clouds for our services. It depends on the client, but sometimes it's private.
The beauty of RPA is that it has many different use cases. We use the product as a standalone and as part of a bigger solution. Obviously, the tool itself is designed to automate activities that humans would do. But as the tool is getting smarter, we are able to do more types of activities. There were two big challenges in the early days. One was the complexity of the rules that you needed to adopt for a particular task and the other was the type of data that was being used as part of the business process. As we've gone along, the product has evolved and allows us to do more of the business process.
Start small and then excel it is important for the Organization to increase the awareness and literacy about RPA.
1. You will need to start with Task Automation in most of your initials automation. ( Don't think big to start or else you will end up with only discussion no conclusions)
2. These tasks will be tied up to some part of the business process. ( Please see the tips below)
3. Focus only on task automation with a simple rule of targeting tasks that consume a lot of time of your IT/Business Users.
4. As a quick win go ahead with IT automation cases 1st and they easily help to spread awareness within the business by doing Show-n-Tell session with business.
5. It took me 2 IT RPA cases as our 1st quick win and took me 41 sessions with business users from various departments to get the pipeline for RPA cases.
6. If you follow this mantra you will soon see the results flooded with RPA opportunities - we have 40+ Identified cases and 175+ cases on task automation for ERP.
Please find attached snapshots :
1. How to Choose a correct RPA case: drive.google.com
2. RPA Case automation life cycle as you mature -> Task -> Component -> Sub-Process -> Process: drive.google.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Tip:
1. Identify RPA cases which are Highly-repetitive, Highly manual, Too many FTEs required.
2. Information intensive activity: Copying, pasting and validating data between systems, portals, application, pdf/excel files etc.
3. Rigorous keystrokes and mouse clicks, Hopping between applications
4. Any mind-numbing office task that kills time and energy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our primary use of this solution, as a company, was to eliminate or at least simplify and reduce the number of boring, repetitive administrative tasks that take our precious time. We are a business consulting company and lots of clients try to contact us on multiple channels that we are available on. Our company, in partnership with UiPath, implemented an unattended robot that saves our time and energy. We call it our colleague that works independently, full time and helps us without requiring emotional support.
We mainly use UiPath in CRM business process controls and transferring contracts to the ERP system. In addition, many information messages sent to our customers are managed by our robot. In this way, we provide more accuracy and efficiency by doing routine work with the robot.
We use it for financial use cases: purchase-to-pay processes, reconciliation processes, vendor payment, and merchant payments. This is just in finance. Then, we have retail order processing, order creation, PO generation, delivery note generation, and all those things in retail. We even have banking processes as well, such as a payments portal. We use it in most of the fields. We don't use cloud licenses. Most of our licenses are on-prem. We use both attended and unattended automation in UiPath.
We started using UiPath for our finance department where it provides us fantastic capabilities by automating one of the processes that is running overnight, a process which includes non-variable and repetitive tasks. Using SAP, as part of our regular operations, we have to submit some account details every night. We automated a process which was very time-consuming and structured, with rule-based tasks. Then we started with the sales department as well, on the promotion side. We are a beverage company and we have to set up promotions for our distributors and our customers. We have a third-party application that helps us with our promotions, but it's a very complicated application. We use UiPath to help automate parts of that application. These are two of the early and major processes which I have developed. As of now, we have more than 100 use cases which we have developed. Some are related to ServiceNow, some are related to SAP, and some are for Salesforce. We are using both its attended and unattended capabilities. We have more than 30 robot licenses, unattended and attended licenses. We are using their Automation Cloud.
We use robotic process automation to automate the business process of the company. We are using the Oracle JD Edwards. We have automated the HR process for the payroll and payslips. We used UiPath for the scanning of attachments and uploading/attaching them in the Oracle system automatically. Previously, we used to take a day or two in doing so. Most of the daily human errors are minimized. We used this for automated internal requests including automatic reconciliation instead of several clicks from the user and automatic correction of the master records or any change required.
I have been using UiPath in the healthcare area and right now, I am developing a healthcare project. I have also used it in retail projects and we have automated entire retail systems for vendors and customers. This has given them more reliable action and product services that are beneficial for both the organization and the user.
Our company is in the insurance industry and uses the solution to run RPA processes for the claims department to free up staff time.
Our company uses the solution to automate processing of intended and unintended regulatory transactions in the banking industry. We are just starting to use the AI function of the solution.
Our company uses the solution to automate used to be a completely manual set of processes.
We mostly use it for unattended bots. We are a construction company. Our RPA team does more of the complex processes for users. We take high-end complex items, that are redundant, off of the users' hands, then we host it on our servers. We have a bunch of unattended processes, about 284 processes.
We provide RPA solutions to different companies in FinTech, finance, and other fields. We are mainly working on their recently launched product called UiPath Apps, and I'm designing apps with UiPath Apps.
Our client wants to reduce their manual work, so they feel an automated solution would work better. The company has one staff member who is well-versed in automation, but they wanted us to suggest more solutions. We decided we should stick with UiPath since they are familiar with it. It's a local community bank with many feeds at the end of each business day. They have about 50 agents handling those feeds. The client caters to poor people in the community who tend not to trust banks. The community bank sends agents into the fields and shops. They show them a card and suggest that they save a certain amount of money each day. They collect it and take it in a book. They then have to bring the book back together with the money. They're helping the poorest of the poor to save money. Based on what they've saved, they can get a loan. The bank encourages customers to save, so they collect daily. They were bringing this data back to the office and entering it by hand. We showed them that UiPath could do all that for them. We prefer a cloud-based solution because we are a digital-transformation company. However, the client wanted to keep everything on-premises, so we needed to show the benefits of migrating to the cloud. In Africa, power is a problem. Energy costs a lot, and power outages can disappoint customers. In the end, we won them over by showing them the advantages of the cloud, so UiPath is deployed on the cloud. It's highly available, and they want their data to be accessible all the time. We have about 30 UiPath users, most of whom are IT Administrators. We use the generic term IT Administrators. The company is structured so anyone can be deployed anywhere at any time. We use UiPath extensively in the particular scenario that necessitated our initial use. If we get more clients seeking to reduce repetitive tasks, I believe we will continue to expand our usage.
We used this solution to automate monitoring, implement robots, and monitor the robots. We use it for network monitoring, ticketing systems, and remediation activities. This is a SaaS solution. This solution is mostly used by network engineers in managed services. The engineers look after telecom networks, and they are the end users. For automation, a sizable team of developers, specialized automation developers, and solution architects used the solution. There were about 20 ERP developers and 10 solution architects. We plan to automate some of the business processes regarding financial reporting.
We use it for the automation of internal HR processes in our company.
My primary use case with UiPath is to automate workflows for processes in web-based applications, such as email and Excel automation. We also use it as a task or workflow management tool, capable of assigning tasks, checking on the status of tasks, and more. Another thing that I have been doing with UiPath is replacing repetitive tasks performed within the organization. Automating such tasks makes the related process smoother and faster. We are using the UiPath automation cloud offering, which is a SaaS solution. One advantage to this type of environment is that we can get updates instantly. If it were an on-premises or hybrid model then the setup and maintenance take time, but this isn't the case with a SaaS model. This instant setup is what we needed because it made for a smooth transition from manual processes to automation.
We suggested UiPath for one of our company's clients to automate DevOps processes. This is a part the company doesn't want to touch. They tried automating with Ansible Playbook and Terraform. We wanted to eliminate human intervention altogether. We are still transitioning from dev to staging and then production. We have done most of the research. We will move from staging to production if it works with our architecture and can be scaled. Our client is one of the biggest companies out there. There are maybe a million users worldwide. They primarily focus on the Asia-Pacific region, but there are also users in Europe and the Americas. The client has several web applications and a hybrid structure. Some data are on the cloud, while other data is on the on-premise servers. We created solutions for them over the years. We have an SI and DevOps team working in parallel for years. Our goal was to automate everything that could happen without intervention.
We use the solution to speed up automation. We were looking to overcome the challenge of handling vast amounts of data, and we use UiPath to create bots to handle that. Tasks can be automated, and human error is reduced.
We are working with automation, and it is very useful for my enterprise and our clients. We are using UiPath for building applications for automation purposes. Some of our clients are in the banking industry. They ask us to create applications to automate their processes, and we use UiPath for that.
My previous company was in the banking sector, and we had done automation with websites, UI, SAP, Excel files, and PDF. In my current company, it is being used for finance and HR. We have ERP, CRM, chatbots, etc. We are using this solution to integrate different systems. I use UiPath Studio to develop the code, and I use UiPath Orchestrator to publish my work. We have our own UAT systems to test the code. We can install the UiPath in the test environment and find all the compilation errors in the debug mode and fix them. We also have version control. If we upload a version and it doesn't work, we can downgrade the version. Everything is tracked in UiPath Orchestrator. We are using it on-premise. In my previous company, it was on the cloud, and we accessed it through the cloud.
We have plenty of processes that need to be automated, including IT processes like user onboarding. We need to create profiles across all systems for every user that joins the company. There are also custom processes. For example, there is an insurance process when our company leases a vehicle and also a loan creation process. We need to automate internal hospitalization claims. UiPath handles all of the associated data and document automation. We use UiPath with Aviro for document automation. We use UiPath's drag-and-drop APIs, but not much because we only have three APIs connected to UiPath. We aren't using AI or machine learning because the AI applications weren't available when we deployed and our current license doesn't include UiPath AIs. In the future, we plan to use AI. Our current goal is to automate all the old departments. We've done about eight departments, and four more are in progress. After we complete this part, we'll implement the AIs. Until then, we're just working with the existing features. We use the on-premises version of UiPath, with all the servers running through on-premises platforms. We have separate database and application platforms and a robot that runs through the VM, so we have a separate VM blade for that entire robot. We also have another data warehouse for that storing that data. We currently run on 19.4.4, but we plan to upgrade to 21.10 in the near future. The latest version doesn't support Internet Explorer, but our co-banking system only runs on IE platforms. We need to rebuild our operations before switching to the new version. That will take some time because several large processes need to be automated. Until then, we will continue using 19.4.4.
It serves our day-to-day work. The product is used for robotic process automation. We have some manual tasks that we need to automate so that we can save our organization costs and manpower, and we use UiPath to help us do this.
My domain and expertise are in life sciences. In life sciences there is a process called pharmacovigilance, which involves monitoring the effects of medical drugs after they have been licensed for use. I create end-to-end automations, for case processing and full data entry. The customer will store details in an Oracle-based pharmacovigilance platform called Argus, where clinical data from the client and the product are stored. The UiPath bot has to capture the cases from Argus. Once a case has been input into UiPath, a mandatory status check, duplicate search, and case processing have to be done. It then needs to perform full data entry in Argus. The full data entry consists of more details like patient information, product information, event information, and so on. The bot needs to validate and input those details into Argus and save the case. Some days there will be 1k records and on other days, there will be 2k records. On average the bot will process 12k to 13k records.
I use it for automating activities and processes in my company, and for discovering new automation opportunities. UiPath is my main tool for automating every process in business operations. One of my main use cases for UiPath is around service desk and support center operations. I use it to take tickets from customers and users and automate answers using UiPath's machine learning. It links the questions to documentation where we already have answers. I also use it for automating invoices with the pricing and other information and sending them to customers when they buy an item. In addition, when somebody subscribes to a newsletter I have set up a process to send an email in reply.
My primary use case is automation. I worked in multiple companies with the same product on the same profile, and most of them were automation. The actual business use case would vary from company to company, and project to project as well.
One of the projects we have been working on is for a medical company. It includes fetching medical records from the company's web-based portal. These records have to be pasted into Excel and consolidated. We then send them back to the client via email. We use Orchestrator to schedule the process to run every day at three intervals. It is running as an unattended bot. We have also used it for another company to help with their employee onboarding process.
The solution is used for automating repetitive processes within our entire organization.
We are a service-based development company and we implement automation for our clients. UiPath is one of the RPA solutions that we use for this. A recent use case that we implemented for a client involved a macro in an Excel sheet. The macro contained approximately 1,000 lines, and it was being used in an Excel spreadsheet about 10 pages long. They had dropdowns within the sheet that had to be set, depending on the action. They also had to work with some of the logic themselves. With UiPath, we implemented a solution where the bot will create a task. It first checks to see if all of the necessary conditions are there. If they are, then the bot will automatically run the macro. If instead, some of the values are missing and user input is required, then the bot will create a new task to request the missing items from the user. It uses the UiPath forms and the client will receive an email to say that a task has been created and that it will be completed once the necessary values are selected. Finally, once all of the values have been selected, the bot will run, use the input, and complete the execution of the macro. A second use case for us was done using the Action Center. In this case, our clients send emails, and we have API calls that are done in response. Once an email comes in, a message ID is created and assigned to it, then it is turned into a Queue item. At that point, the user is presented with different actions that are dictated by the content of the email. Depending on the user's selection, there are three or four paths that it can take. Ultimately, the bot will send an ETA and some request data to the appropriate parties, which is controlled by yet another process.
I'm not currently using UiPath, but in my previous organization, which I left seven months ago, we had a complex trading application that included a web form and a Windows form. And on the Windows form was an Electron framework. If you want to run a web application inside a Windows application, Electron is a bridge between the web application and the actual Windows app. Because it was a complex application, it was not very easy to automate. That's where UiPath came in. It perfectly fit our automation testing scenario.
At my company, we automate everything, including the ERP. It's for logistics as well as the production. 90% of our use case is automating SAP and the bonus software.
We are partners with UiPath and Automation Anywhere. We use this solution for IT services and for the education sector.
We are using UiPath for automation processes in an insurance company in the finance department.
We have deployed a chatbot in our system.
We are handling millions of users' data that comes in via raw formats, like PDFs, invoices, hard copies, et cetera, and we have to capture that data into our applications so that it can be transformed into usable data for the users. We use UiPath to develop bots to analyze and capture the information in the required format, and to automatically upload and enter the data into Excel.
We have two use cases. One is for our claim accessing process, for which I have developed a process for logging into the client's application. It includes launching the browser and getting logged into the application by entering the username and password and handling two-step verification. Handling that requires some logic. Once logged in, it navigates to the claim status feed and selects the organization's and payer's details. It then enters the required details of the patients. These details are given by the client in an Excel document that the process reads. It searches for the values, one-by-one. If there is no record for the patient whose details are entered, it will throw an error stating that there are no claims present. It captures such exceptions and records them in a separate Excel file. If that person's claim is present, it fetches 25 to 35 key details from that record and they are written to an Excel document. Once the process is done, the Excels will be sent as email attachments to the client. The second process that I am currently developing is one where I need to get the data from Google Sheets. This process involves four or five practice management systems. It has to log into each practice management system and, for each one, it needs to schedule appointments based on the data present in the Google Sheet. The process involves navigating to the respective screens, filtering the details, and entering them in a CSV file. Based on that file, we have all the data related to patients' records. The process checks the patients' payment records. There are exception-handling routines and any errors are noted in an Excel sheet. Once all the patients' records have been completed, it closes the application and sends the data to the respective clients. It produces a log file in Excel as an attachment, as well.
We're doing mortgage loan processing. When people are applying for a new loan, we're using it to gather all loan documents and validate the property ownership and do a title search. We then put the loan documents in a package. We are using its latest version.
The solution has provided assistance with the removal of repetitive human transactional activities; document to text solutions; complex data extractions; cut and paste operations; information content management. This is either supported in promoting strategies with our business partners, or implemented at our clients, or included in products we develop for our clients. We use it in our own operations that have been migrated to other products or solved with coding or third-party software offering solutions to specific needs. Solutions are based on client sites and our clients pay for their own licensing.
Our primary UiPath use case is reconciling data and getting data from the web and writing to either Excel or our system. The automations are very reliable.
We primarily use the solution for operations processes in our corporate investment bank. For example, screen scraping, querying from databases, or any transactional processes. Those are what we're really looking at the most.
We typically solve for any use cases that falls under different business functions within our company. That includes finance, supply chains, services, IT by itself, and a little bit of engineering.
My experience in using UiPath, in general, is in developing traditional bots, assisted bots. There are the typical mundane applications that we're trying to remove in order to add value to customers. The solution is used for extracting information from documents and consolidating data, maybe from various Excel sheets. I've used applications, such as PDF, Tableau, and a number of different entities as well. It varies.
We primarily use the solution for legacy data transfer, UI automation, CRM and ITSM automation, and call centers. Specifically, in call centers, using UiPath forms and form render has been really helpful.
We primarily use the solution for our clients.
Our primary use cases are within the financing and HR teams right now. But of course, there's a lot of opportunities in the clinical space and with MB services. We have use cases in all of those departments throughout the organization, but right now we are engaged primarily with the HR and finance team. We have two automations in production right now. We just started our COE and it's been exciting so far. We are building things and have identified quite big end-to-end opportunities.
I work at a financial firm where we do trade settlement activity. We are using UiPath for cleaning up data, doing reconciliation, and finding where the trade breaks and trade files are. It helps us lay the groundwork for the value add work, which comes later.
We have multiple accounts sellable, accounts payable, corporate finance, and supply chain use cases. We have started some use cases at the factory floor automation as well.
Our use cases for UiPath are all across the board. We started primarily in the finance and accounting sectors and moved to our integration center, which is made up of individuals working with our field operations folks to schedule and conduct work. We have also moved into HR and found a lot of hours there, as well. We have also done automations for our IT and supply chain sectors. We probably touched about 15 different business units within our organizations with UiPath automations.
Our use cases have evolved over time. We have use cases for screening and onboarding candidates, feeding new hires into the payroll system, and timekeeping. Right now, we are working on a document understanding use case. It is going to help us read supplier insurance forms.
Currently, we're doing digital transformation in finance. We expect to expand that out to operations based on our test case of five robotic implementations and to get those in the center of excellence and understanding, and then go further. In fact, in our naming conventions, we're trying to make sure that we leave room for HR, Operations, IT, et cetera. Right now, we're just in finance.
Our primary use cases are in our financial department. We had a bit of a downturn, but we still had work that needed to be completed. So we developed several automations to manage a lot of the financial work and a lot of our payment processing systems. We expanded that out to include more of our traders' work processes, just because we saw there were a lot of workloads coming in and a lot of repetitive work. So we used UiPath to eliminate a lot of that for our commercial traders, then we did the same thing for our operations and production teams so that they have their own automated processes. We plan on scaling it and using it in more functions.
Currently, we are using it for reading emails. We download the attachments that we get in emails. After downloading those Excel sheets attachments, we process the data based on a few rules. The processed data is input into the SAP application. In the SAP application, based on the business rules, we process the data and commit.
I am a software developer and I am a full-time RPA developer for my company. We create automation for internal purposes as well as for our clients. I have implemented 15 to 16 processes end-to-end that cover use cases including Excel, front-end web-based applications, backend Windows applications, and sometimes Citrix. I have also done some Adobe Flash Player automation. The REFramework (Enhanced Robotic Enterprise Framework) is what we use for most of our use cases. We are using Studio for development on-premises and we use Orchestrator in the cloud.
For a current client, we have around 22 to 25 use cases, and it's all based on the financial side of things. The client is in finance, and we have use cases all of which are comprised of different tools, including SAP and their in-house CRMs. It's about automating the process where we take some data from the CRM tool and upload it to SAP. It also involves uploading the files to the FTP server. For example, one use case is where the applications used are Oracle, and SAP, and STP. We just download the data from Oracle. There are different files that we download from Oracle and upload to the FTP server. From that FTP server, there is a different team that takes those files and creates a Tableau dashboard.
We have automated tasks within our organization and are automating our marketing applications. Internally, we have automated in-person and webinar event creation for Microsoft. Whenever there is a request for creating an event that is covered on, for example, either on Jira or the Dynamics 365 application, the task makes an API and pulls data from both sources. It then creates an event on Marketo. It runs totally unattended. We have actually saved the build time that was previously around 45 minutes and we have reduced it to just four minutes.
I work for a banking company. We use UiPath for tracing and collecting customer's credit information. We also use it to deploy a bot when clients have specific requests for changes to their information or accounts. We're able to change their service via these requests. We can also remove some processes of manual intervention. We've deployed bots across various processes. We have been able to remove human intervention for multiple processes and have seen a general improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness. We used to handle dashboards manually. Now we've turned customers into kind of specialists in that, whenever they want to change something, such as adding debit, or opening/closing accounts, changing addresses, et cetera, they can handle it. They no longer have to push that request through us and have us intervene. They can do it themselves using the bots.
We have worked on multiple use cases, but most recently, we have worked on a payroll system. Previously, every month, we had to manually get certain details from HR, and we used to do the pay run for all employees in the organization. Now, we automatically extract the required information from the current system by using UiPath. We then prepare a sheet by using Excel, and the entire Excel sheet is processed by a bot. The final sheet is sent for the payslips for the entire organization, and the entire pay report is sent to the bank for payment details.
UiPath was used in-house in my first company for automating processes. We had deployed it on-premise. In my current company, we are giving UiPath automation as a service. We help companies with automation. We set up UiPath from scratch and help them achieve their automation goals or strategies. As a service, we have done on-premises and cloud deployments. From a service perspective, we deal with a lot of clients who are predominantly in the oil and gas sector and energy sector. They have SAP systems for their ERP, and their use cases mostly revolve around automating SAP processes such as invoice automation, joint venture reconciliation, balance sheet reconciliation, and intercompany netting. So, the use cases usually revolve around the finance tasks, but sometimes, we have also seen use cases related to the supply chain and planned maintenance, such as purchase order closures, work order closures, and comparison of the work order plan with the deviations. In terms of the version, we always have the latest version. I've also used 19.4 and 20.4 on-premise versions.
I am a service provider and developer who implements UiPath for our clients. But in the company that I work for, we also use UiPath to make invoices for ourselves and, mainly, for payroll activities. We need to get reports from our HR tool and combine them with another source of information where employees are recording the hours they spent with various clients. We then create the documents needed for the IRS. In our case, all the users of UiPath are data entry specialists in different departments, such as HR, finances, and marketing.
We have a cross-platform infrastructure, where two servers are sitting. We have Orchestrator, which we connect to our virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). In the VDI, we have a UiPath stationed. From India, I work for an Australian client. Previously, I worked for a European client. In order to work with the client network, we have a dedicated Wipro laptop. In that Wipro laptop, we log in and connect via the VDI. In that VDI, we have UiPath Studio. Using UiPath Studio, we are doing development for the client and automating functional business processes. We are extracting data from Salesforce using a particular report that is sent by the business SMEs. We pick exact fields end-to-end, then we put these values into Salesforce. Next, we extract the value and data from Salesforce, putting that into an Excel application. After putting the return to Excel application, we generate a service request for the business and send transaction reports of the bot's performance and accuracy at the end of the day. The business was taking around four to five hours. Our robot takes around eight to nine minutes in order to automate this end-to-end automation. For another use case, there is an application that submits invoices for an insurance client in Australia. Right now, the business is doing this. Whereas, the bot operations reads a file on the hard drive, picks up that file, and puts it into SharePoint where the bot performs some operations. After doing those operations, the bot will report the status, whether it is valid, invalid, or an exception. When we get the file, we develop the application that submits the invoice. After that, we capture the data from the Excel application and submit a request. This is an end-to-end process. This bot only runs after business hours, five days a week, so it doesn't impact the application. With this process, we send daily transaction reports, the success ratio to the client, and present the entire picture to our peers and business holders. We have set up our own cloud, which is internal. UiPath has a different cloud. Per our governance, we are not allowed to use another cloud. We are using our hosted internal cloud, which is hosted on our internal servers in Australia.
I use this solution to automate business processes that are rule-based. This includes the automation of different applications and background processes, such as posting invoices.
I have worked on a number of use cases, and one of them that I can discuss was used in a contact center environment. This is a project that we had done for an automotive insurance company, and it had to do with incident management. Our contact center received the first notice of loss (FNOL) from incidents, such as an accident. When an accident occurs, they raise a ticket to our customer service representative. This can either be done using a chatbot, which is integrated with our ServiceNow platform, or they can call the customer service representative. In the latter case, the customer service representative will pick up the call and get the details. This includes adding their insurance ID and a couple of other fields, and that is integrated into our system. Our system was acting as an intermediate between their existing platform and ServiceNow. Part of the system included a database, where they were checking to see if the insurance amount the claimant is asking for is above the limit. There were other similar business rules, as well, which the bot was responsible for checking. Based on the result of these checks, the claim was automatically approved, and then a corresponding ticket was raised in ServiceNow. There was also a manual process, where there was a person who would go to the site where the actual accident took place. They do their analysis, and then they create a review report, and that report would automatically be handled by an attended robot. The robot would take the detail from the agent and based on the review, fetch certain details like the approved amount. The bot is responsible for sending other information to ServiceNow, including, for example, details about damage to the vehicle. If there are scratches on the front or scratches on the back, then these details are all posted to ServiceNow. At that point, ServiceNow has a workflow that is initiated. The workflow uses the information taken by the representative and moves from the review stage to agent verification, and then to a mainframe. The system running on the mainframe is responsible for generating checks, according to the amount that is approved, and then mailing them to the claimant at the address they have on file.
In our organization, we are using UiPath as a service model. It is an on-premise model where UiPath is deployed on-premise. We are not using it on cloud services. We have a center of excellence that has been set up to communicate with UiPath for all the licenses, for all the tools, et cetera. Individual teams will connect and will communicate with the development team to get those licenses. For the team structure, we have a COE manager, and a COE is again communicating all the relevant information to the teams. First of all, you would have to go and submit an idea to the COE team. The COE team will review and see this is the correct candidate for our solution and we can leverage it as automation. They provide us with the required licenses and the cycle continues. The use-cases for the UiPath are limited. For example, if you are coming from a banking background, there would be use-cases it comes from the data solutions. If you are coming from an insurance background, would have use-cases where you would have benefits that are being reconciled. Healthcare might be dealing with patient data, et cetera. If I talk about the support teams, in general, the use-case for the UiPath is as a ticketing system, where you have a lot of data to add to the queue to remove the need to add items manually. UiPath has the ability to implement with multiple systems. You can extract the data from any other application, click the data to enter the specifications, and start the automation cycle. That way, you have a technology that helps you to build a fully automated enterprise. Our use case depends on the client and their needs. It's specific to their industry. We basically use the product to build automation for them.
I'm using the product primarily for building automation projects for shared services users. It's for internal customers. It's a shared services center for finance, HR, IT, and all processes like that. UiPath enables you to implement end-to-end automation starting with process analysis, then robot building, and finally the monitoring of automation. I use UiPath mainly for building a robot. I always use unattended bots. However, I also use it for task capture. I use the Task Capture feature a lot. It's pretty much a game-changer since Task Capture has become available, as creating documentation takes a lot less time than before. As for UiPath, I'm using it for building a solution and then testing using not only UiPath but also Orchestrator. In the end, we also use some document templates from UiPath. It's pretty much present all the way through the life of a project.
I am an automation lead in my company. I have eight to 10 people on my team. We do process automations, end-to-end automations, and any business application automations. We are implementing solutions to improve our organization's efficiency and speed of work. We are using AWS and Azure. We implemented UiPath on our Azure Cloud, so we don't need any physical devices or physical servers. We are now moving towards a hybrid cloud where we are using Azure Cloud.
Our core business is BPO, which is Business Process Outsourcing. We have massive operations that we have to perform for our customers and we have a digital section of the company that is assisting with that. The digital section is relatively new, being no more than two years old. We are building a number of solutions and tools that our digital section is using, and RPA is one of these tools. The goal is to help our customers innovate and assist them with their digital transformation, ultimately making them more efficient and more profitable. This is possible because some of the processes are very repetitive and performing them with humans is a very bad choice. We have a hybrid environment, where some of our functionality is on-premises and some is on the cloud. For example, we have some cloud-based automation, and we use UiPath Apps, which is on the cloud. We had a successful use case at the beginning of the year where we needed to process a large number of invoices that had contained errors when they were originally sent to the customers. There were approximately 200,000 invoices and we had a deadline of four days to complete the task. It began with us developing the bot, which was completed in less than a day. After that, we sent the bot to our production environment to start processing the invoices. We were successful in the task, through the parallelism of 50 robots, we could process 5 invoices per second. We have some metrics that describe how long it would take the process to be completed manually. It takes a human an average of between 60 and 90 seconds to process just one invoice. We estimated that it would have taken approximately 125 days to complete this task manually, with between 250 and 300 people working on it together.
I am a part of an eCommerce company. Our company is separated across the country, and we have more than 30 locations/sales offices across the country. We have a couple of manual use cases that my team automated. One of those use cases is data entry. As an eCommerce company, we have a lot of data that we need to enter on time so that our customers can use and can order with it. We have a sales team of 20 people (out of 50 to 60 people) who are just doing promotions. For promotions, we need to analyze some financial analytics for the next month. Most of the time, there are various formulas in our Excel. Using UiPath, we have successfully automated this. This is a third-party tool where we just analyze all the promotions and sales per the market. Basically, we need to capture the price offered by our competitors, e.g., what is the price of their product? We need to analyze and set some good prices for our customers. UiPath helps us to accept all the information from over the web, putting it into Excel and saving it. We have a weekly activity, and UiPath helps us accept the data within five or six hours. We just accept the data from our competitors' sites and analyze all the information, then we set our prices. Therefore, this is a wonderful tool for processes, which we have automated in our area recently. We are using both attended and unattended automation. We are using Automation Cloud as well as doing work on Microsoft Azure.
Most of the automations that we work with are internal to our systems. We are also trying to use it with BPM.
We are using UiPath primarily for unattended automation. We are automating processes for business functions like finance and go-to-market. We have Orchestrator which is hosted on the cloud and we also have UiPath deployed on-premises. We have three different instances of Orchestrator: one for development, one for staging, and one for production.
We primarily use it to reduce manual effort and to increase accuracy and on-time implementation. We perform end-to-end automation, since we are a company where SAP is used very widely. We use UiPath for SAP automation. We develop both attended and unattended solutions. We're using the platform as a service and it's hosted on-premises.
We are a small but global company. We are about 1,200 people. We are a logistics company, and most of our employees work in our warehouses. So, our office workers are somewhere between 400 to 500 across the globe. Being a logistics company, we are maybe a little bit old-fashioned. There are a lot of papers going back and forth, and we are trying to automate different scenarios. We cater provisions to ships, so we are basically a grocery store for ships. One important thing is when a ship is going into port somewhere, they put in an order for whatever provisions they need for when they leave port again. So, we need to be quick at expediting their orders. When they put in a request for a quote for whatever products they need, we need to respond very quickly, because the tendency is that whoever responds first gets the order. So, we want to do that. We are trying to sort of increase the speed of those types of operations as well as the quality of them. It is hard to really pinpoint what it is we are doing, but it's the communication between customers. When we receive a communication from a customer, we want to move the process through our company as quickly as possible and with high quality. We are fairly new to UiPath still. We do intend to use it company-wide and have started out with purely unattended scenarios so far.
One of the use cases that I have recently completed is related to SAP and the interaction with Excel and our internal application. We are going with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP application and we used UiPath to help in this area, and were able to do so within a few days. Some of our people are going for process automation and some are doing desktop automation.
We develop and deploy use cases in the area of the cloud. We have deployed over 100 use cases. Most of our use cases are related to SAP applications, web applications, and mainframe applications. One use case example is related to mainframe applications. The bot monitors mainframe applications 24/7. If there are any new jobs, they are identified, then the bot changes the status of the job to differentiate it. Previously, we are using the 2016 version of Orchestrator, then we upgraded to the 2018 version of Orchestrator. Some clients are deploying the 2020 version. It depends on the client. We suggest using a version back to clients, i.e., the 2019 version. We automate retail, sales, and agricultural services.
Most of our use cases are related to business, like reconciliation and reporting. Therein, they have some internal applications to automate SAP automation and Salesforce Automation. Our most recent use case is related to documents, like the invoices coming from customers. We have to extract that data from invoices via different formats, e.g., some are digital formats and some are scanned formats. So, we have to extract the data, which we are doing with the help of UiPath. We are using both attended and unattended automation. For 90 percent of our use cases, we are using UiPath for unattended automation. I use UiPath almost every day. When I finish developing one process, there is a new process to develop. If a process is complex, it almost takes six to eight weeks to develop it, then you have to deploy it for monitoring. After that, the next process comes up.
I have multiple use cases as part of this solution, since I work in different domains with different technologies and applications. We use attended and unattended bots. One use case was for a credit-based client where we worked on the UI automation of the application. We were using UiPath Automation Cloud because our team is spread across different geographical locations, like the U.S, APAC and EMEA regions. We had different RPA developers who are developing the script simultaneously and putting it on the system, and our business case was that we wanted to automate the UI applications. Since there were different developers in different geographical regions, they created the bots on their system. Due to the cloud offering, we were able to move the bots to production using a click of a button. There is also an Orchestrator offering as part of the cloud, which is hosted. Once we had a thorough peer review of the bots being developed, we pushed it to our production-ready cloud-based Orchestrator. From there, we use it to run the script. That is an unattended bot, which is also one of the features. Since it is a credit-based UI automation, there are some instances where manual intervention is required in order to see whatever data is sent out to the client, if it is in the correct order or not. That is why we use the unattended offering of UiPath. Both these technologies help us a lot in creating our production-ready implementation. For another use case, we did an implementation in the SAP application. It was a procure-to-payment (P2P) cycle, where a third party sends out the invoices which get fed into the SAP application, then it gets verified and goes out to the payroll team. Once that is verified by the payroll team, the payment is released to the concerned vendors. All these points of entry were being done manually: the third-party invoices entered into the SAP application, SAP verification, and the payroll team verification. Since it involved a lot of financial data, people were very hesitant to get it automated. However, since we had this UiPath offering, that initial hesitation was turned into a very good implementation of whatever we wanted to achieve as part of this UiPath automation. We were using the unattended bot as part of the cloud offering. We ran the processes at night from Orchestrator, so people working from home didn't need to stay up late in order to run the processes. Since we were using the cloud unattended bot service of UiPath, we were able to trigger the whole process in a single click of a button, which is amazing. As part of the UiPath offering, we have three offerings: Studio, StudioX, and Studio Pro. These three offerings are provided via cloud on a single system and installed on our laptops or desktops. I am working as a senior analyst. As part of this particular role, I have to cater to the client's needs if they want to get a UiPath implementation. Then, I do the consulting as part of the implementation. I also get involved in the PoC development and how we should use the cloud offering, e.g., what benefits are there.
We have a use case that involves an invoice billing process, where vendors from an external organization submit their details for the invoice. This automation works as expected, independently of anything else. It is also a good example of how we were able to scale RPA benefits in the company with the automation of a specific process that requires human-robot collaboration. Our internal tools include the database where all of this information is stored, and we have a second automation that is used by the billers in our organization to tally the data that includes details such as what each vendor has submitted to get their payments. We built a third automation in UiPath, which basically compares these first two. But, due to the complexity and the nature of the tally that has to occur, we require some human input in between certain steps. For these particular steps, we have developed a four-bot configuration. These are four separate bots that run and a couple of them have an attended automation part, where a human can intervene. It's a verification step, where the human can decide whether or not something is okay. Specifically, the bot compares two fields and if they match, then it's great, but if not, it triggers a request to a human user for manual verification. If they approve then it is marked as a successful verification. Because we use technologies like OCR, there are details that cannot always be interpreted properly. This is where we need an additional check, which is the reason that we have humans in the loop as part of the process.
We use UiPath to automate business processes such as certain types of reporting that have to be repeated on a month-to-month basis. Another example is invoicing processes, which can be automated. Generally, it applies to different business cases for enterprise automation.
We use it with ServiceNow for maintaining tickets. Our task works to automate some scenarios such as software updates. In that scenario, there are some repeated steps. We use UiPath with Python scripting to automate those repetitive steps.
We are using attended automation. I help drive a lot of products in UiPath. Now, we are using their data process mining and document understanding features. We are creating forms, then putting data on the forms, so our attended bots will work.
We're mainly focused on finance for the time being so we've used UiPath for invoice processing and e-billing reconciliation. It makes sure that all of our converting information matches within our client databases. We've done a couple of solutions that track budget spend for certain clients, making sure that if the budget overruns or comes close to overrunning, then someone gets notified. If we get a new client or if a new legal case is opened, automation can make sure that all that information is then uploaded into our database. We've done a couple of smaller automations for the legal teams. These have been fairly basic ones though. There were a couple that download files from an email for them, and then rename them with the correct naming conventions, and saves them into correct drives. Another use case is to remove outdated users or information from our databases in line with the GDPR system.
Originally, we were using UiPath to draft documents and send emails on mass to where we had large communication exercises. We used a robot instead of a small army of paralegals to generate the documentation and draft up the emails where we had to communicate with 2,000 to 3,000 people. It was a little bit more involved than just doing a standard mail merge, but we were able to use UiPath to create a number of documents and email it to an individual customer, all through a central email address. Fast forward to where we are now, we have a few of these things focusing in on what we call post-completion activity, like the things you do after you sign a contract. So, it may be you're uploading it to the client's contract management system, applying stamps, or registering the contracts in an official register. The robot is able to do that for us post-completion. Those are our primary use cases at the moment. We're looking at more data integrity type stuff, like comparing our internal data sources against public record.
We have developed a product for a court of arbitration. UiPath provides the automation engine behind it. Our product is a platform that is live online. It allows a party to provide some contract information, and the robot assembles a document and communicates with DocuSign, our signature provider. It then sends out a correspondence to the other party and manages the signature process for a bespoke contract for an arbitration agreement. This is a service that we provide to the world, pro bono, as it were, to promote arbitration and the adoption of a particular arbitration clause. It's accessible to all. Parties can log in and it helps them to negotiate and conclude an arbitration agreement in a mediated fashion. The robot sends out email on behalf of a third-party, a court of arbitration, and it helps the parties get that agreement done. It's about concluding an arbitration agreement before the dispute goes any further.
We use it to automate searches in public databases. We have lawyers who need to search for various companies. For example, we are searching insolvency files for a list of business partners, so we use the robot to perform the search and notify clients about its results. Thus, it helps us with our work in searching public registries. We have the Studio license and attended robots.
We are in healthcare, and the supply chain can be a fragmented process and now with the Pandemic quite fragile. In recent years, companies have been implementing leaner supply chains to reduce their costs. We found that our best approach to dealing with supply distributions, was to create a partnership with a distributor who could provide us with a very large percentage of our day-to day-supplies. We have Central inventories in each of our hospitals; however, we use a stockless operation Monday-Friday. This means, we fill supplies for our nursing units on the weekends, but during the week, the distributor is picking, packing, and shipping those supplies in low unit of measure. Orders are placed electronically by noon daily, and start arriving by late evening. A 'back order' list is sent to us each workday in the late afternoon - too late to do anything with it. We did work with our distributor to develop a more customized spreadsheet that detailed each item, by hospital and delivery location. Each following day we would break the file down so that we could e-mail it to each area, to get feedback from them on critical needs. This took our resources time to prepare and send the next morning. Staff getting the information didn't have much time to review and respond. In addition, we would update each PO line item with the revised the 'due date', for back-ordered lines - this was a manual process. This same resource would then use a tool to send each requestor a 'delayed delivery' e-mail notice. The overall PO update and communication process took an additional 1-2 hours a day in staff resource time. With the robot doing this work for us, the vendor sends a file to an address by a certain time. They send it in at about 3:30 PM every day. The robot now takes that file and works that file, which it has ready for us usually by 4:30 PM. Now, it still may be too late for us to work, but the first thing in the morning, we have the file, and the Bot has already sent out notifications to all the users of any back orders. First thing, when they walk in the morning, they know what their back orders are. They didn't know that until halfway through the day before. Now, they get the information first thing in the morning so they can react. Now, we are getting the information first thing and have the time to work with the manufacturers and distributor to come up with other products so that we might backfill or get a branch transfer. Our end goal was to make sure that we had a daily tool that was 100 percent accurate and could be deployed across a broad spectrum of healthcare workers. Then, they could get information faster and more accurately with as much information to eliminate a lot of extra calls and communication. That is what we embarked on. We dissected our current process and looked at all its different triggers to see how we could turn this into an automated tool. We broke down our process and identified everything that we were doing, then UiPath helped us identify what we needed to modify. We worked that into a tool where a Bot could come along and process it every day, then deliver every afternoon. That was our end result, and it's been extremely successful. We started using the tool last December. We combined some automation that we already had in this process into this tool to make it a whole automated process, rather than partially bringing in under. We have a vendor who delivers us a report daily of all their back orders because we use a main distributor, so they deliver us a back order report. Therefore, we made sure that they aligned it in a way that the robot could read it. Then, we wanted to break that down in a way so each of our hospitals could see their section. So, we added some data to this tool which allowed the robot to see that record, and say, "This belongs here, and this belongs here."
We are a UiPath customer, working with them to develop some products. It is a bit of a mixed thing where we are developing some products with them from scratch, but they are acting as the provider. We develop things, and if they're useful for others, then others can use them. We are doing some pretty bespoke things to help us develop some solutions, but also help them develop their UI solutions in the legal area. We are working on a few things with UiPath to develop some search robots, some solutions to automatize subcontracts, and some timekeeping entries. These are several things that we are doing right now. We are doing three things with them: * A robot to help us with software for time management, automating time entries. * A robot to help us with filling in our engagement letters (contracts). * A robot to help us with various public searches, i.e., the automation of searches of the public record. We are adjusting robots from similar things that they do. The robots are not yet in production.

We have a system to create a multiple orders to perform automation testing. Here, UiPath helps us to create a bunch of orders without the hassle of creating a separate automation suite for this need. When creating orders manually became a tough job for the user then it needed a benchmark for us to resolve this kind of situation to make teams more agile at work. This motivated us to find a solution to counter this problem in our organization. Definitely, it has helped to make us more agile.
I started using UiPath version 2017.1 and currently, I am using 2018.4.6. We had a requirement of fetching emails, which are basically requests from clients filled on our website form. We read those emails and process the data filled by the user in the form. There are different forms like a request to provide reports, a request to add or delete a user, etc. After reading these emails, the bot has to take the necessary action on our Primary CRM application. Depending on the request type, the bot will navigate to the necessary module in the application and perform the request as defined in the email request.
We are a company that provides technical services and this is one of the solutions that we implement for our clients. One of our use cases is to help automate simple processes for banks.
In our organization (Global Business Services), we do a lot of automations in the Windows environment. In the past, we've used a lot of VBA macros and VB scripts but maintaining support for more than 1000 macros has become a very difficult task. UiPath, as an end-to-end RPA solution, solves many issues and limitations of the previous setup.
UiPath has been quite useful in terms of getting data from thousands of webpages online and arranging it in a predefined format. You can easily create robots and define operations in Uipath.
Primary use cases involve the following automation environments and processes: * Oil and Gas Domain: Automation of various applications specific to this domain such as Gopher, Tow, Toad, Excel, and various browsers. * Finance Banking: Here we have to deal with various legacy applications with a lot of PDF and Excel-based automation. UiPath comes with a lot of reliable solutions here. * Healthcare: Automation is a big challenge because the Healthcare domain is not a simple thing to automate. The ML extractor and Intelligent Automation activities are best to use here.
I have worked in many industries and domains like healthcare and finance. I have automated web-based applications and Email automation. Automated an end-to-end process that starts with the user raising a request in BMC Remedy. It handles requests for respective Roles in the GRC System of SAP. This process includes identifying the Request number from the BMC remedy Ticket. The BOT identifies respective control owners for requested roles and requests the controlling owner for their approval. Then BOT performs the Approval/Rejection process accordingly.
I've used UiPath Studio to develop Automation projects that help me automate repetitive and manual tasks. This lets me focus on other, more important jobs to do.
Our primary purpose is to automate our internal processes so we can increase our profits and reduce our headcount. We are an IT service provider, so our main focus so far has been our Service Desk but we are starting to work with our Finance, Payroll, and HR teams in 2020.
I am using it for a project that we did for our client e.g HR automation in which we create, update, and delete the employee the database which includes master data management, active directory, and SNOW as the used environments for the solution.
My primary use case of this solution was to automate BMC Remedy and SAP use cases. I used UiPath to automate various tasks in SAP. I developed several bots in client virtual machines using UiPath and then connected the virtual machine to the UiPath Orchestrator. Once connected, I scheduled the Bot.
One of my primary use cases is invoice processing. In this process, there are two applications including one for data and the other for the main application. The main application needs to take invoice data from the data process and match it with invoice details that it has. After this, the status needs to be recorded in the data process.
I actually went for a powerup automation hackathon conducted by UiPath, which gave me the idea to implement this in my organization. I used the product, experienced it, and I'm here. UiPath reduced a lot of manual work and I am getting positive reviews from the company.
The primary use case for this solution is to reduce manpower and achieve the best result with minimal time compared to doing tasks manually. This is a great advantage of this product because when doing tasks manually it takes many minutes of time but when the bot does it, it is finished in a few seconds.
We use UiPath for: * Financial domain * Excel automation * SAP automation * Citrix automation * Usage of Orchestrator queues * RE framework * Automating password resets * Security and governance * Rule-based exception handling * Large group deployment * Centralized repository for version control * Execution logs and credentials
UiPath is the go-to tool if you need to automate tasks that can be combined to create an automated process. We provide services to customers using UiPath. They come to us with their needs, be it to improve performance, accuracy, or reduce costs, and we help them by automating processes that, most of the time, consume too much in terms of unnecessary human resources.
My primary use case of this solution is automation. Where there are tedious tasks, we use the automation in those areas or sectors. I am a trainer and learner. It also helps others because it does not involve much coding.
I'm working at a computer software company, where we're bringing digital transformation using UiPath. All rule-based and mundane tasks are identified and automated using RPA. We have about 25 bots in production now. Data processing, file handling, email automation, and related activities are running in production.
We use this solution to automate business processes and save millions of dollars in operational efficiency. We are developing new automated solutions for our clients and partners, and also training new developers to use this tool to deliver great results by the end of the year.
I am using UiPath RPA for my ERP entry where I update hundreds of data elements within minutes by RPA robots. UiPath gives you the degree of freedom in these robots to work according to your requirements. It is very easy to use even without coding knowledge, and it can be implemented with little knowledge of RPA.
I am an RPA developer and I am primarily using this solution to fill up timesheets in an internal portal. I use Windows 10, 64 bit. My team uses a mix of Windows 7, 8, and 10. It is suitable for daily and weekly tasks, which pretty much don't change over time, and is what I choose to automate parts of my team's work.
Our primary use case is RPA Consultancy for clients. We have been building robots for our clients in many environments. These include attended and unattended robots that are on both web-enabled machines and local machines (Due to Security Concerns). They span across many industries as well.
We primarily use UiPath to bridge process gaps between various pieces of software. Overall, it is a cost-effective tool to quickly move data and reduce repetitious tasks. For example, we use UiPath to produce SAP reports, format the data and then enter it into reporting tools.
I use it to provide training on UiPath. In the past, I have used UiPath to automate the debit card activation web portal. The task is to read data from Excel and put it into the web portal. I used it for DMS portal automation as well, after reading scanned PDFs and updating data in the DMS portal.
We primarily use this solution for one of our business use cases. We are building robots with Safyr CRM. They are scheduled by Orchestrator and we are handling every step: Solution, design, followups, stacks, consulting, and finally implementation. Nowadays we are using robots internally but we will start with third-party clients in 2020 Q2.
I am responsible for developing and improving RPA-software bots in my organisation. The processes we work on improving are in the field of finance. We started using UiPath and RPA as a technology about two years ago and are still improving and growing.
We use UiPath for a lot of different scenarios including recording daily time capture, ordering meals for teams, and more technical work related to tax and audit. The most common uses for me personally are for drafting and sending emails. This has saved a countless hours of time. Basically, if it can be automated then we are automating it.
One use is in our corporate tax accounting group. Our environment includes systems such as SAP, Vertex, several homegrown, and of course Excel. Other use cases include automating a timekeeping system and performing cell phone bill analysis. Environmentally, all use cases involve different systems.
We work with third-party recruiting software to organize candidates and track applicants. We utilize the bot to pull information from these pages and organize it and run actions. Utilizing the bots to screen resumes helps prevent time being wasted on initial tasks around recruitment.
I have been using UiPath to develop automations for my company. We are a manufacturing company that uses SAP as our primary enterprise application. We are currently meeting with many different business areas and hearing about all of the different processes that they would like us to automate for them. Since UiPath works within SAP, it should help us get some easy wins!
The primary use case of this solution is to automate the repetitive tasks in the workplace. UiPath is connected to the Orchestrator to centrally manage the robots. Mobile Orchestrator is what we use to control the robots using Android and iPhone mobiles.
I am using UiPath for automating finance processes. One example is AP invoice processing. I am integrating ABBYY with UiPath so that we can easily extract information from an invoice with different templates. Then once done, the UiPath robot will input the information into an Oracle system.
We are doing some RPA projects for our customers at my company. Our customers are really good in their area. We are using UiPath studio for creating robotic process automations and using the Orchestrator for monitoring processes.
I use it professionally to build software robots for an international company.
My primary use case for this solution is to create a more user-friendly process automation system so that customer eccentricity can be on top. My company's employees can perform in a better way with increased efficiency and greater redundancy. In general, they can handle tasks in a more efficient manner.
We use UiPath for process efficiency and task automation. Our primary use case is process automation and avoidance of manual tasks and activities, reducing human errors and leaving resources to think on tactical and strategical matters rather than executing non-value-added activities.
The first process automated by this solution was downloading reports from SharePoint and injecting them inside an Excel sheet that was filled with formulas. This was done in order to produce output files that are then uploaded back into SharePoint and sent by email using Outlook. The environment was Windows 10 (desktop), and the process uses the user interface to do all of the SharePoint tasks, except for the Excel ones, which are made in the background.
Our primary use case is the Automation of invoice processing. We're looking to automate some processes like invoicing in order to make the organization more efficient and reduce workload for the employees. Invoices are non-structured or semi-structured data, so we're going to use OCR to extract the data and then automate the invoice process.
The solutions or test cases where we have used UiPath are: * Formatting different types of files (.csv, .dat, and .xls) to .txt * Reconciling data between different applications * The direct-debit application process We deployed the solution inside a virtual machine in Cloud.
We use UiPath for building business cases for customers and internally building RPA competency within my department. Our organization is just starting to implement RPA. As a business consultant, UiPath is our chosen solution for RPA implementation.
We primarily assist clients in deploying UiPath within Finance/Accounting and Internal Audit but have also realized the benefits of deploying it within our accounting function to assist with expense reporting and invoice processing. We have also successfully complemented our technology solutions practice, which deploys ERP systems such as Workday and Coupa, where we have built some specific automations to accelerate deployment and assist with normal processing.
We have IT solutions that are oriented to service our call center because we are a contact center company. For example, we have a CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) solution to help manage our phone calls. It is something that we developed in house. We are developing a UiPath (the company that acquired ProcessGold) solution using RPA robots to improve our processes. So, that is our main use for the ProcessGold solution. We use the UiPath product in order to reuse processes that we manage better and use the time of our agents more efficiently. When we established a connection with a client by phone, our agents spend a long time talking with the client and are also responsible for doing some back-end tasks. In order to reduce back-end tasks, we use RPA robots to reduce the time you need to spend on follow-up calls. For example, after a second call with the same client, you may need to fill in a form or a CRM entry. If we can simplify this task of filling out a form where we insert all the information automatically the robot saves that time. That is the main idea and the reason we use these robots.
My primary use case is data scraping and entry for an insurance firm.
Our primary use is RPA in insurance.
The solution is primarily used for invoice processing in combination with intelligent data captures. It's used for anything to do with lots of finance processes. Typically they go into lots of HR processes as well. They're the two main business functions that we work in.
We use the entire UiPath suite for healthcare revenue cycle management. Our automations are not run in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. The information about the automation processes was really useful. At the same time, I would suggest including more industry-specific training and knowledge sharing. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one month. I felt that the process was straightforward. It was very intuitive. Most of the resources were available to us and we've got it up and running with no problem.
We have a bunch of uses for the product so it is hard to judge which is the most important. We started working with data structures for websites and then moved into more complex automation like speech detection and making more cognitive decisions based on rules. Our automation using bots is essentially on the verge of using artificial intelligence.
We use all of the products in the UiPath platform. We have use cases ranging from back-office to manufacturing, which include large project management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and treasury management. Most of the areas in the company have processes that we have automated. We run our automations in the Citrix virtual environment, although we are unhappy with Citrix. It is pretty bad, and it's very difficult to keep up the performance. AVS or Azure do not offer a good service yet, but we are looking for alternatives with respect to the virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. We have been using UiPath for quite a long time, and we have seen this evolving. It has been getting better over the last few years. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training between three and four. The training is good, but the content doesn't have the depth required for people to go ahead and do something if they're not technical. It's still pretty high-level. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was three to four weeks. The process is getting better, but when we started in 2016 and UiPath was small, it was good but needed refinement. I would have rated it three out of five back then.
We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and mostly the unattended bots. Our primary use for this solution is to give time back to the employees. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. It's drag-and-drop, and all of the activities are there. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. All of this information there is self-explanatory and it works. From the point where we started using the demo version, it was a couple of months until our first robot was ready.
Our primary use for this product is to automate processes that we are capable of automating at our tier-one level human resources center.
We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and bots. We are a consulting company that is working with one of our clients to automate back-office accounting processes for a logistics company. There are five people in the core team who are working on the implementation. We run automations in a virtual environment, but I was not responsible for the implementation. With respect to how easy it is to automate the company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it four. It's very easy, but it is difficult to explain to our customers who are not as technical. In other words, it is difficult for people who are coming from the business side. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. Without it, I don't think that I could have started the implementation. I completed the developer program just for a general understanding of how everything works, including the Orchestrator and how it all works together. For me, the training was really important. It was very good and I really liked it. We were working with the Community Edition at first, but from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one month.
We use Studio, Orchestrator, Studio and Orchestrator right now for RPA development for automating pretty much anything that rules-based processes can accomplish that are mundane and take time.
We are using attended and unattended robots, Orchestrator, and Studio. We are in the financial services industry. A lot of what we do is background data processing, and we use the unattended robots for a lot of it. We do have some attended robots as well, but most of our processes are unattended. I am a developer, so I primarily use Studio. I write the instructions for our Orchestrator Application Manager to do everything we need in Orchestrator. We are currently operating an on-premises deployment, but we're in the pilot group for Cloud, so as soon as we get a date on that we'll probably be migrating. One of the primary processes that we've automated is reporting. Prior to automation, our users were only able to run a few of the reports, a few times a week. Now, we're running every single report that there is to run, which is probably four or five times what they were able to do, every single day. Every morning they receive a summary of that work, so they're able to just get on and look at it, rather than during the close of the day. In financial services, the close of the day is crunch time. We work really hard to make sure that everything is done within a set about of time because there is a domino effect. One person has to be done before the next person can finish, and they're not having to dig back and try to figure out when these issues happened. We're providing it to them upfront. We can say exactly what happened, which account they need to look at, and on what date. This means that we're ahead of the issues, rather than trying to backtrack and find them. We are not currently running in a Citrix environment, but the only reason we're not is that our sister company hosts our Citrix environment, so we can't install any of the services that make those environments much easier to utilize. For example, we can't install the computer vision component because we don't own it, so they won't let us. Our team is really small, there's only six of us on the actual RPA team. However, we work really hard with the business to get buy-in in every department. We're trying to roll out at least one automation in every single department. Our company's goals for the next year, I believe, every associate of the company is supposed to have proposed a task that they are doing, whether it's daily, monthly, yearly, whatever, that could be automated. Then our team will ingest that, prioritize that, and work through it. But, we're really trying really hard to get our whole company involved, and we're getting ready to kick off this campaign to try and get more attention to it and to try and get people using it. We want it to be more than just a buzzword. We want it to be something that everybody's talking about regularly, and using, and excited about. When it comes to getting people interested, I think it's probably a combination of education and sharing the experience of those projects that we have rolled out. When people are really seeing that with the projects that we've rolled out, our close is shortening, they become interested. What we say is happening, or will happen when we're rolling these automations out, is happening. Getting that to be shared from process owner to their team, to the teams that they're working with, it acts like word of mouth for those that are affected. We don't like it to just all come from us, the technical team. We don't want to simply tell them that it's going to do something. We want others to talk about what it has done for them and suggest they should take advantage of that too. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. We don't struggle with it. I took the UiPath academy training, and I love it. We are looking at an unrelated tool right now, and we found no comparison between their training and the UiPath Academy. We were spoiled with UiPath Academy, and we didn't really realize how good that training really is. The thing that I love about the developer training; the level one, level two, level three... level one really does walk you through it. It gives you, literally the walkthrough, so when you don't understand, you can go back, you can look at, and see exactly how to do it. But by the time you're in level three, it's not doing that anymore. The requirements are a little bit looser, you have to figure out how to interpret the words or the requirements, and it becomes more challenging, but I think that that's important, because, by the time that you're actually working real projects, it's not a walkthrough anymore. You have to figure it out on your own. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three months. It did take us a little while, but we knew that we purchased our licenses before we were really ready to hit the ground running. We function out of such a small team, and we were still working with UiPath trying to figure out which partner we wanted to bring in for consultants because we wanted somebody with experience. We didn't want someone who just finished the training just run in and try, and I think we learned a lot working with that consultant. We did work with a second consulting group, Machina Automation, and we loved working with them. They're great. They're just so supportive, and they really want to make sure things are right. It's never just sending them the requirements and pounding it out to get it into production. We work with them really deeply to try and make sure that they understand the process, we understand the requirements, they express their concerns to us, we express our concerns to them, and we work together. It's not like we just send them the documents and they send it back as a project. The whole way through we touch base with them every single morning. They're always asking what more they can do and how they can help. They ask if we're happy with what we received. We do time card reviews, so the time that they spend with us we're actually able to go back and validate, based on that, what they've said they did, that indeed it is what they did. We had received some scrum and sprint training from them. We've had actual developer consultants, we've had mentoring hours for our developers. So we've had a lot from them, and they've been able to help us with everything. Anything we ask, they try to accommodate us. For example, we asked if they had any experience with Kibana. They did not but said that they would find somebody who does.
We use UiPath Studio, Orchestrator and Robots, all unattended currently. Our primary use case is one-off for mediation projects because we're trying to set up our infrastructure. Once the infrastructure is set up, we plan on creating a federated model throughout our entire organization.
We play significantly in the BFSI and healthcare space. A lot of use cases have been related to BFSI. Insurance is much bigger, with claims and underwriting, policy admin, health benefits, and so on so forth. There are also good use cases on the functional level, HR and finance, and that cuts across industries.
We primarily use the solution for insurance processes where we have redundant activity and we have pain points for our customers. It allows the employees to do more insightful work.
We are using Orchestrator for both development and production. We are using attended and unattended bots, and we are using Studio to develop them. We use this solution for front-office processes, back-office processes, IT processes, and automating anything that we can. We run our automations inside a virtual environment. We use Citrix and Citrix Server. We have sixty-seven processes that we've automated to run in the virtual environment and its very straightforward. It's deployed out of Orchestrator, and for attended processes, it's as simple as going in, opening a UI robot, and clicking the start button. It's phenomenally easy. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it's a five. It's very easy. I'm a software developer by trade and I was able to automate several processes in a very short time span. In two weeks I can automate an entire process, end-to-end, which is incredibly fast for the ROI. One of our processes was extremely complex, which was our customer onboarding process. The complexity was, in part, because it is handled by six different departments. The PDD for it was one hundred and forty pages long. One or two we've done were simple automations, and the rest have been medium to high complexity. My first robot went into production within a month of me being in my position. That included going through all of the UiPath training, getting familiar with our IT systems, and then actually vetting out a process and automating. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It was very informative and very detailed. We are using the unattended robots more than we are the attended ones, and we're trying to continue that drive. We understand that there's a need for some processes to run attended, but if we can, we do process optimization to make it work and be unattended.
We are using Orchestrator, Studio, attended and unattended robots. I am on the business analyst side, so I do not have much experience with Orchestrator. We are using this solution to automate processes for our clients. They typically have mundane processes or something that's super repetitive, that we're able to quickly automate for them and see that return. We did do an attended bot with them as well, to improve their call center. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say it's a four. This is a rating from the business side, as opposed to the development side. We understand what the features are, and when new releases come out we have an understanding of what's feasible. I am not rating it a five because sometimes we do not know whether a use case is feasible or not. It means that I may have to speak to one of the developers to see whether it can be done with the tools and the features that are out there. We host the UiPath Academy RPA training every other month for our clients. I have not taken the full course, but on a scale from one to five, I would rate it a five. This is based on the number of people who sign up for it and look forward to attending it, just to learn the basics of RPA. In terms of how long it takes from purchasing a UiPath license until having the first robot, the average is probably four weeks. It depends on the complexity of the process.
We use only unattended robots with Studio and Orchestrator. Our primary use for the bots is in finance, so we only do finance use cases like AP (Accounts Payable) invoice retrieval.
We are using Orchestrator, attended robots, and unattended robots. Our primary use case for this solution is in the financial industry. We do not yet run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. The whole interface needs some TLC because it can be a bit tricky. We have used the UiPath training and it has improved a lot since we first tried it. When I used it a while ago, it had its problems. I think it came due to the fact that it was not developed by native English speakers. For example, they had questions that were simply wrong. It has improved a lot and now it is beneficial. I think that the biggest challenge is for them to stay up to date. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately four and a half months.
We are using Studio and Orchestrator, and we purchased an unattended bot. Our UiPath is integrated with Kibana, which is a free tool. Our primary use of this solution is to automate manual processes. We have approximately eighty use cases to automate. The RPA team includes two developers, a manger, and two BPOs. We run automations in a virtual environment, but I am not familiar with the details. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. We just drag and drop. If you want to write something we use "Type Into". If you want to click, we use the corresponding click application. For me, it's very easy, and we also have tutorials available on the UiPath website. That is something that is very useful for everyone who wants to learn, and even a non-programmer can start learning to become a developer. The Academy RPA training was very beneficial and I would rate it a five out of five. You cannot skip one step. There are ten sections and you cannot skip any of them. It means that until you pass a certain test, it will not allow you to go to the next lesson. This restricts people from jumping directly into another section. I really like the training and it is very easy. The tutorials are not very lengthy, they are simple, and the way they are explained is relatable. The practice tests that were conducted at the end were really helpful. We partnered with IVy to create our first two pilot bots, and from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months. It was very easy because they helped us.
We primarily use the Studio, which is for developing the robots, and we deploy to Orchestrator. We went through a large SAP transformation and we had a lot of issues getting the users to accept the new systems. They were issues related to the adoption of new systems. We decided to build these attended bots in order to guide the users through the system. Essentially, it is navigation or guidance assistance. By helping the users with proper data entry and design, flowing in a logical sequence that is easy for the user to follow, it minimizes end-user training. Running our automations in a virtual environment is something that we had tried during our PoC. Currently, we have attended bots deployed in more than twenty thousand laptops, and eventually, we're planning to have more than eighty thousand deployments. Because of the large scale, initially, we were having a lot of challenges because of things that go on with the users' machines. We wanted to explore Citrix because there is just one virtual environment that every user logs on to, and then run the processes from there. Unfortunately, it did not work for us. We were seeing a lot of issues and felt that it was much more stable deploying individually to each laptop, instead of using Citrix. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. There is always room for improvement. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. The material is very sequential and logical. You don't get lost because you just follow the modules from beginner to intermediate to advanced. You cover everything from end-to-end, and it is very structured. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one year. This included our pilot project, then the development and the UAT. When we went live in production there were three thousand users.
We are using UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, and attended bots. We are automating twelve shared services processes. They are from the finance, HR, and procurement areas. These processes are run at a high frequency and are required to be captured on two different platforms. We have implemented this solution to stop entry clerks from having to do the same job twice, on two different platforms. We run automations in a virtual environment and it is successful. The implementation was fast and we realized the benefits quickly. Currently, we have deployed three processes and we are going to roll out more processes in patches. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. Some of these processes have difficult exceptions that had to be handled, which is why we opted for the attended robots. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. The training is rich in content and the material, products, and methodologies are explained well. The concept of automation can be very easily digested by anyone, even if they are non-technical. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately a month and a half. I was not the person doing the configuration, but I managed the process through interaction with the technical team. It was a straightforward, and easy process.
We use UiPath primarily to drive efficiency within the company and introduce a new technology, which is only going to become more popular and more prevalent in the industry in the next few years. At the moment, we use Orchestrator, Studio, and unattended robots. We invested in an RPA solution because competitors were doing it. They do it because it's the next wave of this industry, the fourth industrial revolution. Everyone's saying that you can't escape it. It's also because our company, in the shared services department, is thinking about how to challenge our existing models. Traditionally, you chose whether to take the processes onboard or streamline them offshore, but robotics and automation are a competitive alternative to outsourcing. It's very easy. We are challenging the status quo and making sure we're evaluating all our options effectively.
We have two customers. One is in the insurance industry. We are implementing it within our own company to automate HR and finance processes: back office. This is the same thing with the customer: back office. That's the focus. We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and attended bots. We are not using unattended bots yet.
We have several use cases. We're a telecommunications company. We use it for anything from order entry, design, activation, and interactions with technicians within our field. We really have an end-to-end solution. We are using Studio, Orchestrator, and unattended bots. It is deployed on-premise but on our own cloud.
We use Studio, the Orchestrator, and we have attended and unattended robots. Our primary use case is automating back-office processes from the corporate side. One example is the automation for ticket closure for some of the customer complaints. We also use it to fill information gaps between systems. Instead of having information run through standard APIs, we have it copied over from one system to another. We run automations in a virtual environment, and the implementation was pretty easy and quick. We used the Community Edition before purchasing our license. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately one week. We found it to be very easy and very fast. We, as a Contact Center, usually face a lot of problems when we suggest any requirements. When we started with RPA, it took approximately one month for a very complex process to be automated. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. It is very easy. You can use the UI, or you can use APIs for the connection. In the end, you can do it. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five, for sure. In two or three weeks, an RPA developer can do everything.
We are in the finance industry, so we use Studio and Orchestrator to automate a lot of Excels and making reports.
We are using Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. Our primary use for this solution started with automating processes in finance, procurement, and HR. Now, we are researching various directions in logistics. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. This is something that we are trying to avoid. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. I'm an IT-based person, and for IT people it is easy to learn. UiPath claims that it is easy to learn and it's for everybody, but it's not true. For business people, it is hard to learn and hard to understand how to code to make things work. They need a lot of help with things like exception handling. If somebody lacks technical or programming skills then it makes it much more difficult to use. Although UiPath is getting closer to business users, there are still some basic skills that they need to have to make it work. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. When I get new hires it doesn't matter whether they have previous experience in RPA or development, they have to go through all of the basic training from the Academy. This includes the Orchestrator and I've been recommending SAP training because we are experiencing growth in the use of SAP. Going to my team, this is the base, and then we have created our internal framework and standards that also require training. Some people may already have experience with UiPath or Blue Prism, but they still need to take the training from the Academy. Before I arrived at the company, there were already some automations running. However, fifteen months ago we shut down a couple of robots because they were failing terribly. From that time, it took us five months to create the first robot.
I am a developer so I primarily use Studio. Once the bots are developed they go to Orchestrator. We have a combination of different use cases. Sometimes it deals with Outlook, the Microsoft Office Suite, or certain integrated web applications. You build a solution to integrate all of the applications that are part of the same process. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment at the moment, but we are currently evaluating how we can do this. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. The majority of the simple tasks are done through recording, which saves on our development time. You just record the things that you want to achieve and then customize to get it going. Since I was new to the product, I used the training. I took the developer training, as well as business analyst training. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It's truly very beneficial because you can just touch base with the actual tool and get it done. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six weeks. This was a complex use case and it worked well, so it was a good proof of value.
We are using Orchestrator and robots. Our primary use for this solution is Accounts Payable invoice automation. We run automations in the virtual environment provided by the Amazon service. Our implementation has been finicky at times. The latest release is a lot more stable, but I've had a two-week production outage where DLLs weren't registered and someone from Vegas had to log in for eight hours to our servers. They had to uninstall and reinstall the solution, as well as all of the different apps. I lost a bit of faith in the solution with that incident. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. It's pretty easy to use, but it wouldn't be a five because it isn't doing everything for me. Things still need to be done. I have not taken the Academy training but my team has. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately two weeks. The process was pretty straightforward.
Our client's companies have extensive issues with SAP and getting information out of it. They have another technical ERP system with an in-memory database where they don't get the information out of it, then have to add it manually to SAP. That will be probably the first big use case for automation. So, we will get a bot reading it on the database from the Citrix environment and probably moving it to SAP. The client will probably have it on-premise. They tend to be really risk adverse in terms of Cloud solutions. We have tried to get them to use the cloud more because it's just easier. We are using Studio Orchestrator, and unattended bots. I have programmed attended bots before.
Right now, the primary use case is document retrieval from our client system. We are a healthcare billing company, so we have to pull things like medical records and different documents from hospital stays. So, we used the robots to pull those versus an FTE. We have both unintended and attended robotics that we use. We haven't really delved into Studio a lot yet. That's going to be part of our staging and going into the next phase. We built all of our basic bots, so now we're going into the more complex bots. We are on-premise. We were looking at moving to the cloud, so that will be something in our next steps.
We use Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. We use this solution to solve the things that people don't want to do. They spend a lot of time and there is a high potential to make manual errors. Quality suffers because it takes too long and users can get fatigued. There are the things that we are targeting and we have already seen some of the benefits. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. It is easy, but there are some improvements that can be made. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It is my lifeline. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six to eight months. I felt that the process was complicated, in part because of UiPath but also partly because of internal things. Internally, in order to get set up, the entire infrastructure needs to be in place. All of the servers have to be set up and you need the right permissions because the bots need their own security. You have to explain to people that this is going to be a service account, and you have to explain the need for it. These are all internal, but necessary issues.
We use all three of the UiPath components which include: Studio, Roboyo, and Orchestrator. There are a bunch of use cases that we explored for the POC (Proof of Concept) to be sure the product fits with our expectations for automation. For example, one use case is reconciliation processes for insurance group retirement and LOB (Law on Occupational Benefits) plans. We built it, tested it, and now that is one of the primary things we use the product for.
We're a consultant, so we help customers use this solution to develop automation and help set up COE. We provide the means for an entire organization to build its use cases. That's how we use Orchestrator both attended and unattended.
We have robots and we have Orchestrator and we are exploring the new analytics model over the next few months. Right now, our primary use is mostly operational processes and deploying apps for the global operations team. We have multiple automation processes in place for them already.
I'm working for one project where we're trying to automate processes for a logistics company, specifically in their back-office accounting processes. We're using Studio, Orchestrator and the bots. In other words, we're using the whole platform.
We use this solution for our business purposes. We use it from the back end all the way to the front end. That's where we are looking to use this, although we haven't fully implemented it yet. We are exploring more processes to use it for.
Our most prevalent use case is invoice processing. We are using Studio, Orchestrator, attended bots, and unattended bots.
We use Orchestrator, Studio, and Robot to work with automation in our finance department.
The primary use case is around manual conversion of data from one system to another. These are big processes right now. We are using Studio, Orchestrator and the robots.
We are using Studio, the Orchestrator, and both unattended and attended bots. We are using the product primarily to index and process patient records into patient charts when records come in from outside sources.
We use Orchestrator, Studio, and of course the bots for indexing documents received from outside providers.
I use Studio, Orchestrator, attended and unattended robots. My primary use for this solution is back-office automation in a banking environment. We run automations in a virtual environment, both for development and production. The robots are implemented in a development environment first, which is connected to Citrix. Once the process automation is finalized, including deployment and UAT has passed, we move the same file from the development Orchestrator to the production Orchestrator in the production environment. Production is also in Citrix. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a three. We have legacy Oracle applications and I'm finding it difficult to find selectors for the older, legacy systems. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. Some of the lessons are really easy, whereas others are more difficult, but you need to finish everything, otherwise you cannot go further. This is what I didn't like about it. It took approximately one month to implement our first robot. Prior to purchasing the license, we implemented our PoC using the Community Edition. That took three weeks. After that, my company bought the license and it took about a week to put into production.
We don't have a single primary use case. We use the Orchestrator studio to deploy attended and unattended robots to relieve the workforce of the mundane tasks that they currently do.
Currently, we're using Studio and soon to be using Orchestrator. We have not actually deployed any bots yet, but we have looked into both Orchestrator and bots. We have just looked at the solution set of that on why do we need to deploy in the future. Our primary use will vary from department to department. We have what we call 11 global practices. These range across different platforms, but the underlying theme of that is we want to automate different items which might be finance or accounting or HR or whatever. But where I think it will be most useful is in our core business where I'm looking to apply it to engineering project management.
We currently use an on-premise Orchestrator instance along with VDIs for Studio development, testing, and production Robots. We use UiPath in a few different ways: for repetitive high volume and or high complexity time-intensive tasks, for tasks with high error rates and or low error tolerance, and as a component in larger digital workstreams requiring the interaction of multiple systems and workers.
We use this solution mainly for data validation. To start with, we are using Studio for many of our processes.
We are using Studio and Orchestrator. Our primary use case is automating data processing for clients translating into other systems. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a three. I think that the technology that we use in the printing industry is a little more difficult to automate. I am currently involved in the UiPath Academy training. We have third-party contractors who have been doing the development, and I am the first internal employee who will be developing. I find that the training is good in the first step, and also in the second step where we're learning about Orchestrator. However, when it moves to the third step and they are talking about the framework, I think that it is a pretty big leap and that is where I'm struggling. This is the section that I am in right now. There was one project that was completed before I started, at my understanding is that from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was less than six months. For my project, it has taken two months.
Our primary use case is IP invoice automation. We are currently using Orchestrator and bots.
We are using Studio and Orchestrator. We use this solution for financial analysis, accounting, invoice processing, and other menial tasks. We run automations in a virtual environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a five. The ease of use comes from many things including the user interface and the coding. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. I feel that you can have people who are directly thrown into the training, but sometimes it is difficult for people to pick up on topics that are not related to the processes that they are dealing with. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately two weeks. The implementation was straightforward both on the setup and the development side.
I primary use Studio, but I also use Orchestrator. I develop robots for reducing tasks for our business users. We run some of our automations in the Citrix virtual environment. We have found that the Citrix environment tends to present challenges, so it can take a little longer. With a year and a half of experience, I am still learning with this platform. I find that the ease by which processes can be automated is not as much of an issue with the platform, but rather how it behaves with other applications that the robot controls. The learning curve is mostly how the robot behaves in maybe a Citrix environment, or in how it behaves with the applications that it's controlling. Sometimes they have their own little quirks that you have to learn. I got started with this solution by using the Academy training. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a three. It is easier to get started because you are learning by experimenting. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately seven or eight weeks.
We are using Orchestrator and unattended robots. We use this solution for automating financial tasks. Some of our use cases including reconciling amounts, such as those related to invoicing. We run some of our automations in a virtual environment. We have been running into roadblocks with Citrix, so we run them on virtual desktops. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. Building automation using a standard set of rules is not a problem. It can become problematic depending on the data and the types of tasks. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a four. We are using it to gain experience with the platform. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was probably three or four months. The first robots that we created were for account reconciliation, and the implementation was straightforward.
We use Studio, attended robots, and Orchestrator. Our primary use case is automating support services for accounts payable and accounts receivable. We are still implementing and our robots are not live in a production environment yet. For the time being, we are using attended robots but we are looking into unattended robots as well. We run automations in a virtual environment using VMware, and the implementation was straightforward. It was easy to set up. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. You don't need any programming skills to be able to leverage the tools. We have used other tools such as Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, and this solution was easier than those. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It is very simple and can be easily demonstrated. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months.
We use Studio, Orchestrator, and robots. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a two. It's been going for about six months now, and we are still having challenges here and there. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a three. The material is on the technical side, and not being a technical person, it makes it pretty challenging to get through. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three months.
We use all of the UiPath products: UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, attended robots, and unattended. Primarily, we use them for financial liquidation. Our customers frequently use it for different cases. Some use it with chatbots. Sometimes, our customers run automations in a virtual environment. In terms of implementing UiPath within a virtual environment, UiPath staff are working on the cost. Currently we have UiPath with a Citrix client and you need to go to the Citrix virtual station to activate. It's more difficult to implement as a user. Our customers' organizations have involved about 15 to 20 people in their automation programs.
We are using attended and unattended bots. The attended ones are very low profile. We are also using Orchestrator. Our primary use case for this solution is to automate underwriting processes. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment, yet. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. I think that we still struggle sometimes with what kind of a bot we need to use for what kind of work. It may be a lack of understanding on our side. We need to have more clarity on this. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. This is what I have heard from my team members. I did enroll in the training but I didn't make much progress. That said, I have heard good things about it. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately a six-month transition.
We use unattended robots and the Orchestrator module. I am most familiar with the Orchestrator. We are very new to this solution and just getting into it. We are a financial insurance company and we do VoW, Verify on Web. We have a bunch of different insurance carriers. We run automations in a virtual environment, VMware, and I haven't seen any problems with it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. For my part of it, this solution seems very useful. I have limited exposure to it because I do more of the installation, the configs, etc. I don't really work with the workloads, although I see what is being worked with. We have our in-house developers who are doing the integration into our in-house programs, so I watch what they do and it just seems that it's very easy to pick up on. I have not used the UiPath Academy, although I think that the developers have. I did not get any feedback from them about it. I was not involved at the time, but I think that from the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three to four months.
We are using the attended, unattended, and Orchestrator components of this solution. Our primary use case is developing automation around revenue cycle management in the healthcare space. We run automations in a virtual environment and we are very happy with that ability. It is much more time-consuming when compared to running it directly on the server, but it is very reliable and it is a great way to create automations that you wouldn't otherwise be able to create. Of course, we prefer to go directly to the same environment. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. In order for me to give it a five, it would have to be such that a user could go in and develop it easily with a point and a click. I think it would be extremely difficult to build a platform that was that simple for the end-user, but I think UiPath has come a long way and is very good at making it easier and easier as we go along. We have at least ten developers who have gone through the certification training with the UiPath Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training four and a half. The training is wonderful. There are certain elements of the training platform that are not keeping up with the product though. Also, some of the things that are in the documentation are not up to date. Being a little outdated, it can be kind of frustrating for the people that are going through it. But, it's a great way for people to get a good understanding of how to use all of the elements of the process. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately three weeks.
We are using Orchestrator and Studio and we are using both attended and unattended robots. We use this solution in the compliance space to manage risk. We do not run our automations in a virtual environment. With our first process going into production just last week, we are just new to RPA. The RPA involvement across our organization is very small given our stage of development, with less than ten people. These are both developers and business users. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it's about a three. The software itself is relatively straightforward and easy to use. However, the task of automating processes can be challenging. Each company is going to be different than others. My experience tells me that process automation perhaps is not as straightforward as businesses may think it is. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. I found the training at the UiPath Academy really good and easy to understand. We were able to download trial versions of the software and apply our training to the trial versions. It is very straightforward and easy for .NET developers to actually use the tools. They felt comfortable, and there was nothing new, just a different way of doing what they do. My company is probably not a good example of judging how long it takes to build your first robot. We implemented the system and did the process at the same time. So, combined, it took several months. Going forward, because we're no longer putting a system into place, I expect that timeframe to shrink significantly.
We are using unattended bots, Orchestrator, and Studio. We use this solution for doing a variety of things. It includes a lot of back-office finance and accounting, tax, and a little bit on our operations side. We're also using it for some test automation within our IT group, so helping to test our points of sale, and some of our data transfers as well. Orchestrator runs on a dedicated server, but our bots all run on virtual dedicated machines in our data center. There were some challenges in setting everything up to run in a virtual environment. We implemented a couple of years ago, so I think that it has improved by now, although it was challenging. Part of it was on our end, where our people were not familiar with it. The challenges included picking the right type of VM to run on, having the right kind of setup, and having the environment configured correctly. We needed this to allow the RPA team to have enough control over the day-to-day maintenance, and not have bottlenecks with the technical side. Managing things when we had issues or needed to add something new was also a challenge. The documentation was kind of broad and didn't go into the detail that we wanted it to, although I have seen that get better, so that is really good. I'm sure if we were trying to implement it today, it would probably be a lot smoother with the tools that they've come up with. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a four. I think there are still a few things they could do and it looks like they are working towards that. It still requires a good bit of training and ramping up for someone brand new to it, especially without a programming background, to jump in and start building. I think they can continue to refine that and they definitely are moving in the right direction. It's a little bit of a technical hurdle to overcome to be able to build not only just basic automations but enterprise-scale automations and automations that are reliable and can check up on themselves. I think they can work some more of that into the actual tool because we've had to do a lot of figuring out how to build best practices and how to program it directly, and the best way to be able to allow us to support it cleanly through the lifecycle. It is good, but there are some things they can add in to truly make it a five. My standards are pretty high, but I'm sure they'll get there. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. We are big fans of it. I typically don't get the luxury of hiring people with technical backgrounds. We usually have people coming out of school or people transferring from other departments who are interested in RPA. So, the Academy tools have been a lifesaver for us and they've been very good, especially for the RPA developer track. It is very detailed and we can really get someone through that training and feel like they're at least able to perform the basic functions of the tool pretty well. From there it is up to us in terms of getting them familiar with our best practices and how we program things and get some hands-on training with the more senior RPA developer to learn some further tips and tricks. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Academy offerings and they're one of the best I've seen from many of them. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was perhaps a month or two. It did not take long, and that included time for training. When we started off, we bought the software, went through the training as a team, and then started building a few small things. We probably had the first one in production within two months of buying the software.
We're starting within our finance group, so a lot of different processes in our finance group are being automated. Our main project was for our tax department, extracting data from PDFs and putting them into Excel. We have two people involved with RPA in our company. We just purchased this solution last week so we're still installing everything. We did automate four processes with the community edition. The length of time in development varied by the process. The longer ones required help from UiPath. They came on-site for the PoC, so that helped us out. Some other easy ones we just did ourselves within a couple of days. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would say that it is a four. But with Studio X, I think it will probably be a five. I say four because as you get more complicated with your processes, you need to learn how to code and there's a brunt learning curve. A lot of people will get turned off by that. So, I made some good sessions with Studio X, it's all drag and drop, mostly, so that's perfect for the business users. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. We are actually in the process of taking it right now. It's good that they have something like that available. There are not that many who have aced it.
We use Studio and Orchestrator. I personally use unattended bots but we're releasing one of the largest attended implementations right now. For the most part, it's still in the back office, finance, and accounting, that's typically where we've been starting. That's where for me, as an inexperienced developer, is easier for me to get started.
We primarily use the solution for the financial processes.
I am a developer so I primarily use Studio most of the time, and when the bots go live, they move to Orchestrator. We have a combination of different use cases. Sometimes it is dealing with Outlook or the Microsoft Office Suite. The idea is to build a solution that integrates all of the applications that are part of the same process. We are not currently running our processes in a virtual environment but we are currently evaluating how we could make it work.
We are using the unattended robots and Orchestrator modules of UiPath. We have built close to fifty processes in the three years that we have been a client. Our primary use case, the one the gives us the biggest relief, is the processing of premium border rows. The robot will pick up Excel files with between four hundred and a thousand rows of data, and then does the data entry into our policy issuance system. All of our automation runs in a virtual environment and we do not have any problems. At the start, of course, there were a few bumps in the road, but we got it figured out and now have no issues at all using the VM. When we began working with automation, I was the leader and I had three BAs and three developers offshore. When our company decentralized, we created three other robotics divisions. There are now twenty-eight of us including the project manager, the BAs, the testers, and our developers. People are spread across four different divisions within the corporation. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, I will consider the individual components. With the Orchestrator, on a scale of one to five, that's easy, it's a five. It is very evident how to use it. The Studio, I am not a developer but I got six developers up and running on it in a very short period of time. It has a very short learning curve, so on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four. My rating of four is because I know that we had some challenges with using the recorder. Things would shift and there were a couple of things that had worked and then stopped working. We found a little instability, and it was hard for us to know whether it was us, or the application, or the studio. Ultimately, we were not able to get a final answer on the root cause of those problems. We are no longer experiencing these problems. When we upgraded, a lot of that went away. Also, when we went to Orchestrator, a lot of that went away. Exactly as UiPath had told us when we went to them with the issue, they gave us some solutions and once we implemented them, the issue was corrected. I did not attend the UiPath Academy, but my Business Analysts took the BA course and my offshore developers all took the Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five easily. Before the Academy came around, they were kind of self-taught. When they took the Academy, it closed some of their gaps. When we started with this solution, we did a PoC with the help of a UiPath developer. In two weeks we built a PoC for a bank reconciliation, which was pretty fast. That helped us decide whether we wanted to go with the product, and of course, we did. After that, we took the code, which really didn't have a lot of bells and whistles in it, and we gave it to one of our developers to really soup it up and make it more robust. That took them about a month to do.
We use attended and unattended bots, Orchestrator, and Studio for development. We're seeing increasing adoption of Studio because more people see how easy and straightforward it is to use a lot of the features. It helps that UiPath training is free. Our entire team, including our salespeople, have gone through the training. It's free and it makes a big difference. For the salespeople, they're able to talk more intelligently about RPA. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five, for sure. In fact, I have taken a lot of ideas from their training to educate my customers about RPA. When it comes to RPA, a lot of it is education because some of them don't know exactly how automation can be done. I've told UiPath that I use their training in my presentation, and it is great. We are working with a technology company called Rammer, Rammer.ai. What the Rammer software does is listen to conversations to learn the details of what is being discussed. A third-party system is used to transcribe the conversation into text, then Rammer will learn the details without much training. It knows the topics, it understands what is talked about the most, talked about the least, how much we are adhering to the script if it's a call center use case, or if it is a simple meeting use case then it knows who is assigned what tasks, it recognizes the follow-ups, and it knows the summary of the discussion. All of this is summarized in a nice, consumable manner. So now, when a bot knows all of this information, it goes into Orchestrator, logs all these activities that are picked up by unattended bots downstream, and they trigger all those processes back. So it's a massive consumption of all of those heavy use cases. We have not yet run automations in a virtual environment, although we do have customers who are asking for it. We are not sure if we will need UiPath's help for this yet because we haven't tried it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a five. Really, it depends on how clearly we understand the requirements. So a lot of times we are able to find process gaps, which wasn't the case earlier before we started thinking about automation in this manner. I would say the ease of use is actually dependent on some of those factors as well. Usually, starting is the biggest challenge for most people, and I think this is because it is in a trial environment and there is a lack of documentation, with multiple people doing one part of a small subset of a task. There are these challenges and then if none of them are documented, you need to figure out the process flow. From person one, where does it go? This can change when people can do multiple things. It becomes a very complex web to understand and navigate through. We need to understand the task and how it should be performed. For developing the robot, it's very important to have the clarity upfront, otherwise, we cannot code them. That is the biggest challenge, I feel. From the point that a UiPath license is purchased until the first bot is ready is almost immediate. This is because we usually start with a PoC on a small scale, just to see if automation with this approach makes sense. By the end of the PoC, we'll normally know exactly how many bots are needed. Sometimes it is on us, more than the customer when we cannot estimate every process that is outside of the departments and division that we work with because we just work at finance. For example, we can't just estimate what marketing would use, and so on. That will sometimes delay things.
I have used UiPath Orchestrator, and we have created both attended and unattended robots for our clients. We have been using the new AI and OCR technologies with UiPath, and we are currently trying to implement the Citrix log capability that was recently introduced. We are not running our automations in a virtual environment. When we automate any Citrix-based application, it's all email-based. There is a Citrix receiver and we communicate with that, which helps automate Citrix applications much faster. Most of the clients I had seen have been running in virtual environments, although I have seen some of our clients running on the desktop. We have also seen hybrid scenarios. One thing is that virtual environments can be standardized pretty quickly. So, that's an advantage. Normally, the companies, which are leaning towards more cloud now, will be happy with this. So, I think that is one factor. As you move virtual machines to the cloud you can migrate your bots to the cloud faster. I have worked on various different domains including the public sector, commercial, healthcare, energy, utility, and federal. These are the different customers for which we are implementing solutions. Now, the customers are moving towards AI and natural language processing. They are more into chatbots, how they can use artificial intelligence, making use of data science, and putting more machine learning on board. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate it two and a half. I'd say it is about marketing. You can develop anything. There are very small processes that you can develop with having minimal experience. However, when you start implementing complex processes, I would say you need to be a background developer. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. All of my team members have been using UiPath Academy for training and certification. It's not just with the U.S., but outside the U.S. as well. From the point that a UiPath license is purchased until the first robot is ready totally depends upon what use case we are implementing. There are different methodologies that people use. Some build the bot without exceptions and it can go to production. Like a very simple process can go to production in two to three weeks. A more complex bot will take eight to ten weeks, and depending upon the process, it can go longer. I have seen tasks when a human is performing the job and it takes him around twenty minutes per transaction. But, when the bot comes in, it actually completed that same transaction in five minutes. But, to develop that five minutes of processing, it was understanding system availability and testing. Then you have to do load testing. It takes ten weeks or so. Our clients decide to implement RPA for several reasons. The first reason, of course, is to have work completed faster. Second, when there is a workload, you can work on it more efficiently and with fewer people. Consider an open enrollment in October, where the open enrollment starts at 10:00 AM and there are a lot of transactions flowing in. Now you have to hire a human and train them. With the bot, we can just scale up instead. Finally, the bots are errorless.
I'd say our finance applications, like accounts payable, have been our biggest use cases for this solution.
We are using Studio and the attended robots, but we haven't implemented Orchestrator yet. Our primary use is to automate tasks within the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and trade settlement realm that we work in. We're also getting into some more internal audit automation. We run automations in Windows Virtual Machines. It was a long process for us to get started, getting our IS to buy into letting us set up this environment and get started with it. With respect to how easy it is to automate our company's processes, on a scale of one to five, I would rate this solution a two or three. They offer upfront training, the UiPath Academy, and that makes it easier but you still need to have a technical mindset to understand it, as it is now. We have all used the Academy. On a scale of one to five, judging how beneficial it is, I would rate the training a five. It's a great experience and very beneficial. From the point that we purchased our UiPath license until we had our first robot was approximately six months. It took us a while because we had a bunch of other projects in front of getting our first automation. The process was hard, although it was not complicated. The approval process involved going through a security review.
We are using this solution for a POC and Pilot stage for RPA deployment.
I use this solution for the automation of Accounts Payable invoices.
The primary use case is for a medical claims process automation using UiPath RPA.
We are checking products in search of a better RPA solution for our landscape.
We use this solution for automating manufacturing processes from invoice processing to accounts payables. All of these use cases are solved using UiPath. For insurance sectors, reconciliation is another process that is automated using UiPath. I have been using UiPath at various enterprise levels.
Our primary use case is to develop automation projects, like automating Excel activities for repetitive tasks and operations on files. We also automate operations on Citrix. With UiPath we can easily manage all of the projects in a single page (i.e. in orchestrator).
The primary use case of this solution is to generate a report by scraping data, filtering it and combining the data for input to another system.
We primarily use it for delegating access permissions to help desks, for example. We use it to automate certain things, like onboarding new users, or deprovisioning leaving users. When we add somebody to a group, it triggers some kind of automation workflow. Lastly, we use it to sanitize data entry, so to make sure that capital first letter in the street name is used, certain zip codes aren't allowed, others are, etc., so data is controlled.
We use UiPath primarily for our financial operations. We use this solution in a virtual environment called VMware Horizon. It has allowed us to get started without investing a lot, which was good for us. We need to go to the enterprise solution using Orchestrator as soon as possible. That said, I wouldn't do it differently, because if we were counting on the enterprise environment to get started, we wouldn't have deployed anything in the past year. Because we had this virtual environment, we've been able to deploy 16 bots so far.
We are using UiPath primarily for process automation. We are trying to consolidate information, eliminate redundant manual tasks, and save some money.
We use UiPath to log into a system, run a report, extract the information from the report, and send emails to hundreds of people, all in just seconds.
At Forest Service, we have a massive onboarding season. Because our primary mission is to combat forest fires, we have a huge intake of firefighters that we hire every season. Because of that, there's a lot of onboarding material that needs to be processed through HR, literally tens of thousands of people in such a short amount of time. I can see, potentially, RPA being able to help with some of the manual work that we do. It's probably the best bang for our buck, but there are certainly other use cases potentially. That is the area that I'm more familiar with, though.
RPA overall is about routine, mundane, structured tasks. We use a number of them at my client's work in terms of how do we do back office reporting for general deliverables, contract compliance, etc. We had a few different reports that we had to do every month. We have to hand-jam them into a very poorly-formatted database which had weird drop-downs. Instead of entering them manually, and spending a day or month just punching in titles and numbers, we compile it onto an Excel sheet and have a bot run and dump all that information. All I have to do is tweak what information has changed from month to month. This has made my life a lot easier.
Our primary use case for it right now is in human resources. We are using it as a recruiting capability where we receive resumes in from recruiters, one in particular. Then, we're looking at the emails, pulling data off the resumes, and loading it into a database. We are also identifying resumes which might need some additional clarification. This saves a lot of time, so somebody doesn't have to go through each email, evaluate them, and pull the resumes down. Our customers are the DoD, mostly, and some civilian agencies.
We are using it for financial applications in the financial sector. We also have a couple of bigger federal customers who started RPA development on their own, then needed our help. Internally, the RPA offerings team is developing more resources, so we can support all our customers. This involves a lot Pegasystems, ERP, and homegrown systems.
The primary use case is data management.
One of the main use cases is stringing together different applications, like a financial system to a database for data manipulation or data extraction. Then, all sorts of little things are added onto that from a process prospective.
We are trying to focus on using UiPath for our mission. A lot of people use RPA for things that happen everywhere, such as in financial or HR. We are a bit different. We are trying to focus on things which will improve what our customer are doing. For example, one of our customers is a bank. Therefore, we are focusing on improving their relationship with the bank's customers by using RPA. While there are use cases everywhere, we are focusing on trying a company better and more streamlined at their core.
I personally do a lot of process automation and data visualization. I work with a lot of people in procurement and finance to pull data from a lot of different systems, consolidating it, and creating reports, then presenting it. What I do a lot of is taking that consolidated data and creating automated reports with Microsoft Power BI and visualization tools. A lot of where people get hung up is pulling the data and the amount of time it takes to do that. So, people want to be able to automate their processes, as well as have my reports. When I heard about UiPath, it addresses the initial problem of having to constantly pull data, get updates, consolidate the data, then model it in Excel or other sources, like databases. Being able to speed up that process, then connect it to automated reports, can fully lay out that entire pathway.
I work for the financial management office. We do a lot of manual processes. Our use case right now is that we look at all of our financial business processes, break them down, and identify the subprocesses that we can use UiPath to automate. This is very manually, so we try to find some efficiencies which have the most the value for our organization.
The primary use case is invoicing and billing. The first thing that we used it for was some content migration from one video hosting provider to another. We later on moved to invoicing and billing, which included time sheets, management, and feeding data into our accounting system.
We have multiple primary use cases for UiPath. We have already implemented three, but I foresee many use cases in the future. For example, I am working on one which will automate the gathering of information to comply with subpoenas.
In general, we use it for automating monotonous, manual processes which a lot of our clients have. We also use it for internal employees in our company.
We automate processes across a number of different agencies. We automate whatever use case they determine. We tend to focus on the financial management side, but we have other areas that we've delved into such as HR and general data pulls for executive dashboards. Oddly enough, a lot of our clients have not focused on work where there are people actively doing the process already. They've chosen to focus their efforts on processes for which they haven't had the manpower. It has been a little bit of a challenge in that the use cases tend to be coupled with a lot of process-development stuff. We have to figure out what the process is before we can even begin to automate it. But over time, we plan on trying to shift that focus back to areas where they have a large number of people doing a process all the time and getting them to shift those people into doing the complex processes where there isn't a structure already determined.
It is looking externally at how we can enable the government to identify efficiencies and improve effectiveness. The other is, internally, how can we drive efficiencies within HR and finance, with everything that a big corporation can do. * How do we help the government realize these benefits? * How do we help our internal workforce benefit? It is two different things, and they are similar, but they're not the same thing. A lot of people externally are worried about the elimination of jobs, but at the same time, they still want that efficiency, and they are looking for it. We want to drive the effectiveness of the workforce, whomever we're working with. There are plenty of automation opportunities out there: DoD, the federal government, and commercial space. There are all sorts of stuff that we can do. Internally, we feel the same way. There are lot of things that we can do to make ourselves run more efficiently. If we are preaching to the government that they need to be using this, it's beneficial for us to say, "This is what we have done as a company." Our company is 25,000 people across the globe. There are certain opportunities for us to include automation in what we do every day. We are doing it now by instituting RPA, specifically, and the tools that the UiPath bring to the table. It will be a game changer for us, if we can get it done at scale. Automation is growing at our company. A lot of what we do is focused on AI. Going from zero to AI is a Herculean task. It's extremely difficult. However, there are many steps in-between zero and AI that we can do now to help realize the benefit to the company or the federal government, such as the benefits of the efficiencies that we can identify. That intermediate, non-threatening first step can be RPA, which ultimately will lead to enabling AI, but is not AI. Within our company, we are looking to identify what those pre-AI steps are, with the goal in mind that we know that the federal government is asking for AI. What we do in the interim is a type of level set, where you can build an algorithm, AI, or machine learning algorithm. This ultimately is what they want, but what they need right now is to aggregate their data in a structured way to be able to feed into those algorithms. That's step one. This is the first step to getting all your data right. It's not easy, because you have to take people out of the mindset of AI.
Internally, we use UiPath to automate financial transactions, specifically for invoice processing. Externally, on the client side, we use automation in the financial space, primarily. There are various use cases from generic file uploads to transaction processing that we implement for our clients.
We are a system integrator. We work with clients such as the US Federal Government and help them automate whatever their processes are. We have two entities. I work as part of the government solutions unit, and then we have the commercial side which is a global organization. On the global side, there have been some internal implementations as well.
The primary use case of UiPath, with every organization that I've worked with as a consultant, has been to make business processes more efficient and the work of their employees more enjoyable.
We have multiple use cases. We are a distributing company, so we are moving containers around at sea. There are a lot of things that you need to do around that. We are trying to automate to help with our bookings created, etc.
The handling of different types of insurance tasks.
We are a pharmaceutical company, producing insulin, primarily for diabetes. We work with other diseases, as well, but our focus is primarily diabetes. We have automated many processes, at least 20 RPAs across the company.
We currently have 150 bots in production. It is used the most where there are repetitive, cumbersome tasks. Where we do need to have somewhat of a decision made, we put it into a decision tree. This is our primary use case. We are looking into other use cases, such as: * How do we use it as a platform for pretotyping? * How do we use it as a platform to drive forward machine learning and artificial intelligence usage in our company?
We have a lot of maps worldwide which order some stuff from my department, and this is the compiled path. This goes into our database, then it comes to us.
We are mostly using it for HR processes. We have two departments: Accounting and HR/Payroll. However, we mostly use it for payroll and travel. We are only using Unattended Robots. We need to start talking about Attended Robots more.
I'm not using it myself. I'm working around it with consultants. I am in network IT. I have seen the product at work and tried it myself. It is sort of easy to use.
The primary use case is to have a platform which allows us to scale rapidly without adding a lot of human labor. We are looking to go global without being dependent on recruiting heavily on back office functions.
We use it to automate administrative functions, like finance and HR tasks. We are also automating a lot of things in our SAP systems, e.g. updating prices. We use it for a lot of small tasks, like downloading something from an particular internal website (e.g., SharePoint in Office 365) and uploading it back, or for doing modifications, then loading them back.
We use it for customer-facing and internal processes.
Most of the time, I am a developer. I also have to develop some best practices, but a lot of the time, I'm working on the application and creating Unattended Robots. We have a large amount of old school manual processes which we need to automate, because we have a lot of full-time employees just doing boring stuff. I started last year, so I am a bit fresh in the organization. We have two people: One who analyzes and other develops. I am using version 2018.4, which I find easy to use. We can see some major changes with each version. The IT department sort of hates that I come by every quarter of a year and want an upgrade, but it is very much worth it. There is a lot of stuff happening out there, and it's dangerous to be left behind by a few versions.
When it comes to finance and HR services the product has great potential. Our company is big, so there are a lot of opportunities. We are doing automation internally for financial processes. Externally, for our customers, we are developing a shared service center. This is not restrained to any one specific area, like HR or finance. Anything that is manually or taking a lot of human effort, we try to automate (by selling it to our customers).
We are working on trying to optimize some of the current processes which have been selected for review. I have been talking with our business partner to try and find the best way or tool to optimize these processes.
It is for automating tasks that are not meaningful for people to do, tasks that are menial and repetitive. The University of Copenhagen, where I work, is an old institution and we have a lot of different legacy systems that don't work well together. So, we have a lot of people doing administrative tasks that depend on moving data from one system to another. We use UiPath to automate these repetitive tasks and make the robots carry them out, so our people don't have to.
We automate mostly finance processes, which is our largest area. We also automate some HR and logistic IT processes.
Primary use cases would be within the finance sector. We supply financial services for other government agencies. The main robots that we have in use right now are concerning floating of financial periods, uploading reports, commenting on these reports, and so on. We are starting to look at invoice processing, to a larger degree. Then, we have a few quality and control robots which do checks on data quality, customer information, customer carts, etc. We are using approximately 20 robots right now for different uses. We've opted for professional, traditional developers and programmers to do batch robots. We don't use it in our business units. Possibly because we are a government agency, we don't necessarily get enough IT security around the users applying their own robots. It is not easy to use in this way because we do use traditional programming skills. We are considering moving some tasks out into the workforce for Attended Robots, etc. We think that this will be a problem for us in regards to getting it pushed out there and still maintaining good quality. However, we haven't tried it yet.
The primary use case is business services (finance).
We use it to automate functions in supply, finance, and HR.
We are working on changing all the administrations tasks at the college. For example, with travel refunds to the students, students currently have to go from their homes to the school before they can be refunded their expenses. We want to make a robot which does that instead of the people doing it. I'm using a measurement tool for distance to calculate the measurement from student's homes to the school. Then, this should calculate the amount the student should be refunded.
We are looking at processes and automatization and are at the very beginning of our journey. We have been looking at finalizing the job and making the use cases in insurance assistance.
Getting data from the SharePoint site and processing the data with business logic, and after this, inserting the data one by one into the QuickBase site. The environment was development, QA, and production. We are working for back office automation so work with Microsoft office products.
I have tried the RPA tool for the first time and I already love it. How easy it is: you can do all of the daily tasks which you repeat at one click. Primary use case: educational purpose and automation for content writing. Secondary use case: additional content writing and data scraping.
As a system administrator, I have to create a roundup report before the office begins and at the end of the day. The report consists of statuses of each thin client we have. The robot does all the stuff in just 2-3 minutes, saving our 1-2 hours of time done by a dedicated person.
I have been using UiPath for quite some time now, and I have realized that it is one of the best automation tools out there. We primarily use this tool for automating our business processes and removing repetitive work with the help of automation. The most interesting part about this (easy-to-learn) tool is that it is accepted almost everywhere in the RPA industry. There are a lot of activities in this tool which will help you automate processes easily.
* Primary use case: Excel automation and email automation. * Secondary use case: PDF scraping and CSV management.
Our primary use case is to create a proof of concept using UiPath. Here we automated the business process, and it's a repetitive task. So we used UiPath and automated our internal project, and we also automated the client process as well. We automated SAP application, and we also automated mainframes. UiPath also has the Orchestrator which very flexible.
Reading non-PO invoice details form a SharePoint form, validating it, sending it for manager approval, and on receiving manager approval, entering the invoice details with invoice and approval attachments to SAP.
To automate various business processes which include generating reports, data entry into certain applications, email automation, and web automation.
* Automating web applications is the primary use for my organisation. * Also, data scrapping is another main usage.
Work automating demands of our clients like emails and withdrawal of data from PDFs to database.
We use it for price quotes on the internet, looking for the best cost benefits for our customers after researching our thefts, creating a table and sending the data by email to the customer.
The main request of our clients is the integration with the SAP system and specific tasks of email, like sending and downloading of NFS.
The primary use case is probably the swivel chair operations where data is extracted from one system and used as input in another.
* Automatization of the collection process, downloading information from the web to Excel, and processing this information in our core systems * Policy issuing for standard products * IT: security accounts maintenance * Regulatory reports.
The robots have completed the job in a short time by reducing the personnel load.
We use UiPath internally to automate the repetitive processes of our company. We use the tool for the generation of reports and automatic sending of emails, as well as automation of registrations and the likes.
The software is used for automating the process improvement and simplifying workflow as our organization is an insurance-based organization. Also, it is used to create some small repositories which can be used for future use of process improvement.
To automate day-to-day tasks for the user in the current project, for example, reports, tickets, price quotation and sending and receiving e-mail.
We started with UiPath to automate activities that required gathering data from different applications and posting the data to another app.
Account opening and order placing for insurance application with web and Windows application and mailing report.
To reduce or eliminate routine manual and clerical tasks, and to reduce manufacturing lead time.
Gone are the days when you have to deploy 100s of people for repeated tasks. We regularly update invoices of different channels and merchants to our workflow. Capturing each invoice requires some human attention. There are chances of using OCR or text-based extraction of invoices. We easily automate each type of invoice extraction to our spreadsheet. This reduces one hour (max 1.5 hr) of 100 employees in our organization.
I have performed the following use cases: * Excel operations: taking data from Excel and using it in the desktop automation (environment: Tally ERP, MS Excel). * Email automation: sending, analyzing and receiving mails (environment: MS Outlook). * Security-related: such as getting reputation scores of different IPs and sending a mail for each IP which is found malicious (environment: McAfee ESM, different websites to get a score of the IP, MS Excel to store the score of each IP, MS Outlook to send mails to the concerned person). * Invoice processing: taking data from a mail and using the OCR tool to extract details of the invoice, inputting the data to a desktop application provided by the client and sending a mail after the successful completion of the task (environment: MS Outlook, Kofax). * Web-related use case: taking data from Excel and onboarding to a web application (MS Excel, web application).
Automation of high volume, repetitive processes. Both desktop and VDI/Citrix environments. We are going to implement it in the WFM team to reduce their workload and let them concentrate on more complex tasks.
I basically use UiPath robotic process automation for everyday processes that can be done without my intervention.
UiPath is used as an RPA platform to automate the engineering-based repetitive and rule-based tasks in my company. UiPath has proved itself to be a very user-friendly and easy-to-adapt kind of software which does not require any core knowledge or coding background to start with.
We use UiPath mostly for automating data entry forms and automatically copy-pasting between different apps.
We currently use the tool to sell solutions to internal customers. Most of the work that we automate is the migration of data between systems, automation of emails, extraction of data from PDFs with OCR, among others. The gain has been perceptible from the first moment, as human errors have been noticeably reduced to almost zero. Another good point for us is that we can leave the robot working for as long as we want.
It was used for the automation of web-based applications in the banking sector. The challenge was to read information in image-based forms.
To automate existing mundane tasks in the current project. Report automation, ticket automation, and browser automation are what we have achieved through this tool.
Using UiPath, we are currently solving tax calculation, mortgage calculation, etc. We have realized that UiPath doesn't actually require you to use code to develop workflows. These can be created by using simple drag-and-drop activities. This is helpful almost everywhere. Their community edition being free helps a lot.
The primary use case would be automating repetitive human tasks: read emails to get data, then login to the specific application and select other data based on the email received and reply to the initial email. The secondary use case would be integration between legacy software.
I am working in a virtual desktop client machine. I have been working as a .NET and RPA UiPath developer. I have an overall of three years of experience in UiPath. I have automated individually, or with a team, and I have successfully completed more projects and also got rewarded.
Performing automation on both client and company infrastructure, and improving existing service workflows.
Development of bots to increase the posting of payments in a billing software for clients. This software is completely controlled via remote desktop, so there are sometimes that the speed of the bots is affected. We also review medical documents and save the records in this software. Currently, we are implementing the bots to check some docs and save them in batches for better control of the files.
I am undergoing UiPath advanced certification. I am performing a use case of a bank where it has to send frequent reminders to its clients who took loans like home loan, personal loan, etc., to pay EMI every month on time. To improve the process for efficiency as well as accuracy, I used UiPath automation to interact with their internal applications and send reminders in a timely manner with no errors.
Development of any RPA solution using UiPath is very efficient and flexible. But at the same time, the testing is very difficult. The debugging feature of UiPath is quite difficult to understand, and there is no option that we could go and start from any step, rather, it needs to start from the very first step of the process which would be again a time-consuming factor.
I am automating a validation of work items between BP open and SAP. Avoiding too much manual labor on the part of the user, freeing the time gained for more analytical and less repetitive work, all developed on Windows 10.
Automating the repetitive rule-driven and data-driven process, a process which can be run continuously without manual input has been automated using UiPath.
This solution is to provide robotic process automation solutions. In simple words, it is to automate the steps a human user may have to take repetitively on one or more systems to complete any process flow.
We used UiPath to improve PMO efficiency internally. We programmed the bot to match receipts to expense report listings based out of Excel in order to confirm accuracy for client billing. This was a process that previously required two levels of review and about seven hours per person to complete.
The use cases we have focused on are: * A high privileged account in Azure cloud * NSG-ACL checks in Azure cloud * Certificate renewal process * Daily management reports.
We are a financial shared services office; we have been using UiPath in our daily process. This is the most useful tool.
We use the tool to create bots, which access the mailbox. Given a certain type of e-mail will make the treatment the same, from access to the internal system, making inventory movement, as well as informing teams of availability of material, need of purchases of the same, alert any problem and carry out price quotations on the internet using the data scrap.
We are currently implementing a solution for a large telephony company to migrate data between systems. This data is fetched from a system A and placed on a system B. Much of UiPath's functions are well used, such as integrations with PDF, OCR, Excel, and a few others. The financial return tends to be large since the robot manages to work 24/7 and with almost zero errors.
My primary use cases are the change of customer addresses or their banking information in our systems.
The primary use case of UiPath in our company is to automate rule-based processes with easy decisions.
There are multiple use cases: Automation of manual Excel workflow: Previously, our account support executive used to manually prepare client Excel sheet using a variety of third-party integration. Data flows manually into Excel and is then exported manually to a different system. What a fantastic work done by UiPath using integrations and webhooks. We almost saved 24 hours of weekly effort per employee and imagine we have to do this every time of the year and for hundreds of clients. Automated data entry: Automated data entry of generated invoices was made so much easier with OCR recognition that we are trying to explore it in more departments like human resource and support systems.
Data scraping. I use UiPath for extracting Twitter and TripAdvisor reviews from hashtag and comments. Then, I analyse the positive and negative data to a table using Python script which uses natural language understanding.
I have completed an aviation project using this tool. It provided a nearly smooth and seamless performance. The environment was Windows, and we had to automate the Windows-based application. We had to extract data from Excel and put it into this tool and run the tool to get the results. Those results will then be sent to Excel again and will be used for providing better aviation data to the pilots.
Reformulate simple processes such as API access and virtual environments, e-mail access, spreadsheet completion and systems.
I use UiPath in my company to migrate data between systems of a large telephone company where I use various functions available in UiPath, as well as OCR, PDF integration, email integration, SAP integration.
Automating the manual work such as daily work like data entry jobs, accounting work, storing in Excel and filtering the mail.
Calculation of commissions, from dispersed information in worksheets generated by different departments.
With automation, you can create daily reconciliation reports with no errors (UiPath helps to retrieve the report from SAP, mainframes, web sites, etc., and VBA macros help to create reports very quickly — very useful for back office works).
We are a consulting company that develops robots for various customers using the RPA tool UiPath. Often, we install UiPath on virtual machines.
'Automation' is the word. It started with the purpose of automating, and now it is used in our company in many areas.
I have implemented finance and pharma-based solutions using UiPath. I have automated processes like cash management, invoice validation, Java applications, and Citrix-based applications using UiPath. The application involved was Oracle EBS, and it was a Citrix environment. Processes mainly included cash management, month-end closure, and bank reconciliation to name a few.
On using UiPath, once, we had a problem while reading data from the browser that was on a virtual machine as it was not providing the accurate text using Google OCR, as the background was changing for the web page. So we found an alternative solution to get the process working. As a benefit, it is really beneficial as it provides vast support and every feature is there in the tool. Also, the recording feature really helps while developing the process. One more feature is that in the variable tab, if the name of the variable is changed, then it will be reflected in the whole process.
* Invoice processing * Claims processing * Vendor onboarding * Product fitment analysis * Database monitoring * Interaction with FTP and analyzing XML files * Underwriter quote submissions * Automating reconciliation of reports.
POC and implementation were done for the in-house team, automating the penalty system of transportal services where the penalty on a no-show user is being calculated, and every user is intimated the monetary value of a no-show. This is then intimated through the mail, and also, the list of such users is sent to the payroll department to debit the penalty from the monthly payroll. Windows Server 2012 was used and some PowerShell scripting apart from UI automation using UiPath.
Learning RPA: Open source (community version) of UiPath, and their academy — one of the best academy for RPA in the market. They split the content into different courses and content into similar sections which is easy and makes it easy for self-learning. Coming to the design/implementation part: It's completely easy and simple to work on. It reduces the complication at ease. There are different options available for all the IT solution which can be utilized for effective management.
I wanted to learn this platform to widen my breadth of knowledge and to have more options in my RPA toolbox.
Fast-tracking the interfacing between an in-house planning application and an international partner's planning application. Using RPA to do check and balances on invoices, and consequently uploading this data to a tax engine and extracting VAT, European sales listing and Intrastat reports. Finally, these reports are uploaded to the dedicated web portals. Extracting handover data of wagon from a data lake and entering it into the follow-up application, since there is no direct integration yet.
* Automating applications that the client requires in the project * Mostly automating day-to-day tasks which are like user-setup, user termination and password-reset in an application. We use the 2018 version. The community of UiPath is very supportive and active; that makes it very much understanding.
We use UiPath to automate multiple flows for our client. We have flows in multiple stadia: development, acceptance, and prod.
* Accounts payable and accounts receivable * Automating the process of extracting data from vendor invoices and onboarding it to the company's financial application.
Automated customer onboarding experience with UiPath integrated with CRM solutions for banking cost.
SAP automation.
Automating PDF documents, data extraction, and using it as an input to web applications with efficient time management.
Production staff has to enter data manually in several apps which cannot be integrated via API. UiPath allowed us to automate most of the job, saving a lot of time in the process, which allowed us to move most of the team to more skilled tasks.
UiPath has been working great for us in automating processes where data needs to be manually fed into one application and the result transposed to another one.
My primary use case is to automate the process of RPO. Here we use data scraping, web recording, email automation, integration of multiple application, etc.
* Financial domain * Excel automation * SAP automation * Citrix automation * Usage of Orchestrator queues * RE framework * Automating password resets * Security and governance * Highly elastic scalability * Work queues * Rules-based exception handling * Large group deployment * Rapid development support * Centralized repository for version control * Execution logs and credentials.
I use UiPath to automate processes that use different systems. This is the best use for the tool since it has integration with a lot of systems.
A user receives data from an Excel file and then enters the data in the internal website/tool to calculate the price. So we automize this process using UiPath.
* I worked on the employee onboarding and offboarding process for a client. * I worked the reconciliation process for one of the financial clients.
I'm working in the banking sector, and as we all know, there exist many repetitive tasks which are actually done by human workforces. I'm automating them with UiPath. Accuracy, time and cost are the benefits I've figured out from my experience.
Business solutions, not only IT related.
Data transfer between different apps is the main use case for us.
The most relevant use cases are business processes that include repetitive human tasks that make use of different apps in a common workflow.
We are developing automation for healthcare claims, insurances, and billing. We are using UiPath for Citrix cloud, web, and desktop automation. We saved 60% FTE by using UiPath.
Used widely in automations of business processes of all kinds. There's a lot of different useful features in UiPath that makes it easy to use and able to create even very complex process automations.
Be it any mundane tasks like invoice processing, document management, document extraction, and migration, order processing, KYC filling, application integration, Citrix automaton, or any such rule-based tasks can be automated with RPA technology. Among all RPA solution providers, UiPath is the best choice and market disrupter, from our hands-on experience with the top three RPA vendors while shortlisting UiPath as our RPA vendor. With its intuitive visual coding drag and drop and Microsoft SharePoint workflow foundation technology and open platform capability, code development and debugging are a cakewalk for anyone with minimal or even no coding background.
* Using it on internal processes. * Using it for the development of new processes, from an academic point of view.
I have been working as a UiPath RPA developer for two years and three months. Using UiPath, I have provided more than 20 solutions over six different projects. UiPath was one of the leading RPA tools and it will be easier to develop when compared to other RPA tools.
I'm working in a consulting company as an RPA developer. We have some projects with clients connected with automations. That is my primary case of using this solution daily.
We are automating all transaction-based processes, primarily in the finance department and sales operations. With this, the personnel involved in these transaction-based activities have been able to start working on more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.

* Manual processing of invoices * Outlook lookups for invoices * Automatic online checks of Oracle, Hyperion, and SAP platform.
I use UiPath primarily for implementing automation solutions to client companies. The use cases can vary a lot from client to client.
It's really easy to learn. We have been able to automate some of the tasks we do here in the company. We can replace human workers doing labor-intensive repetitive tasks, and focus them on other more difficult ones — no need to spend money on training new people, hiring, etc. Just as we built the bot, it will do it all on its own.
I have done a POC in inventory management. We get an excel sheet with details of users, orders, and equipment. Using UiPath, I have done end-to-end automation without any human intervention.
Reading non-PO invoice details from SharePoint form, validating it, sending it for manager approval, and on receiving manager approval mail, entering the invoice details with invoice and approval attachments to SAP. Getting forecast values of demand management processes in an Excel attachment and mail body from customers directly, analyzing it, processing it, and inserting it into the database so that the demand forecast team can get data easily without human effort.
We are using this solution to implement automations for the banking domain, in the back office as well as the front office.
* PMO processes * SAP automation * Tickets organization * HR system management For example: In SAP, the chain needs to be monitored, and when it fails, it should be restarted. So continuous monitoring was a difficult task. Automating this process saves lots of manual hours.
It is used widely within our organization. As of right now, we already have a lot of robots in the live environment.
Automating various processes in systems such as SAP, Windows automation, and Excel. By making generic components, we are able to reuse them for various projects and clients.
Primary use is to automate BPO solutions for clients. We use it to automate a vast range of processes given to us.
* Downloading of the daily movements on the websites of the banks and the entry of them all in the ERP. * Distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management.
Creating proof of concepts for Oracle product integrations and form filling for clients. We are also in the works of using it to automate expenses in-house.
* Automation of a range of processes (35 at the time of writing). * Utilizing UiPath in a banking environment. Processes include areas such as payments, financial crimes, HR, and customer service (middle office).
Process automation in a global business center of a global mining and manufacturing company.

To automate the manual tasks at my workplace. Using this tool, we can quickly develop automations.
* Automatic filling of web forms for request of services * Searching customers' and providers' information on government websites (to validate registration numbers and expiration date).
We run many batch jobs manually to accomplish our business processes, which is very cumbersome and prone to human errors. One wrong job run may take many hours to fix the data, which sometimes causes chaos. Due to automation, it is easy to resolve our manual batch job run.
A well established, mature process that the current employer spends a significant amount of time on which can be done by a robot agent.
* Developed a project for invoice issuance in SAP: Using UiPath, we could finish the project very fast. * Save costs from my company and for our clients.
Organizational internal processes automation — especially in areas of operation and admin (back-office).
I was giving software training in a company. And in this company, there was a time-wasting chore. At the end of the training, we took note of the students who did not come in the polls, and we were recording the polls on the institution's website. Unit supervisors wanted to be notified of the students who were absent three times in a row. This process is constantly checked and repeated because of the automation that I've done with this chore.
The primary function of the organization is quick data entry to specific systems better than humans, with accuracy and without any interaction.
Previously, we used to read lots of data and manually feed each document data into a system, but now we are using UiPath automation to read files, extract data, and then update the same into the given business application.
Our primary use case of this solution is to automate a process that includes and prints out files that contain financial details of an insurance company into an Excel and apply some formulas on them.
We use UiPath to test automation for asset management, wherein we found it can help us to reduce the time and increase data accuracy.
We implement some robots in order to automate a lot of activities that require repetitive actions like manipulation of Excel files.
We are using the UiPath platform for back-office end-to-end process automation, combined with OCR and cognitive services.
My primary use case is for creating custom-specific products based on the customer's needs. The requirements can be received from the customer on emails and then based on it the order can be created. This reduces time, ensuring no human error and on time delivery. The total time taken to enter this in the system is less compared to the manual process which is indeed error-prone. This also removes the process of reviewing the order for correctness as the straight-through processing is enhanced. By making this scale on all the other locations and geographies, lots of time and effort can be saved. This also enhances the reputation of the services and organization. In addition to this, the confidence created by the successful implementation is a real eye-opener as the big step is taken with great success.
I did many small projects in UiPath like PDF extraction, website automation, and translated the data into different languages.
We mostly use UiPath for downloading reports into Excel files, reconcile reports and generate a result which is sent to the users. It is a faster means for automation.
UiPath is a robotic process automation software that helps enterprises automate their workflow.
We have acquired UiPath with both the robot and orchestrator. I want to make sure that we get the right return on investment and with the orchestrator you are not only able to use the robots during the day, but you are also able to schedule them during the night. You maximize your investment 24/7. Lombard International Insurance is the number one in wealth investment and for us the onboarding process is a critical one. We have started with KYC (know your client) which is an extremely painful process, a lot of manual work, but now have some very good friends and colleagues that are happy to have Ruby the robot as their assistant. On top of this we also have tax reporting, overdraft, reinvestment, so there are several processes, some like KYC for instance.
I work in finance functions, so typically implementing it within our finance accounting hub that we have out in Manila when most of our processes are stabilized and globalized experts. So, it's a very good fit to have our processes automated out in Manila.
Our platform, it's called Cevitr. It's a best-of-breed platform through which we offer automation as a service. In our world, we have two kinds of robots. Our robots have a personality. Jo is our robot. Jo is a gender-neutral term that can be John, that can be Josephine, that can be Joe. We have two variance of Jo. Simple Jo, which does the normal routine repetitive mundane stuff, and Smart Jo, which is more focused with the AI and cognitive capability. Both of these are part of our co-platform offering, Cevitr Jo.
We're specializing in law and local government, so that's our target market at the moment. Obviously it's usable everywhere, but that's our market, and we find that that's where there's a lot of opportunity for sale.
The thing that I find very interesting with UiPath is that no process is too simple or too complex to put UiPath on it, so it can work anywhere on any type of process. This is why we're able to put in on customer facing processes, but also back office processes, for example in voice processing.
We are using UiPath in our finance and accounting area but we do see it as a tool that we can use across the whole of the business.
I work for an SI implementing UiPath for a range of customers in Australia.
It is extremely helpful with our invoicing process.
The UiPath robot took over the process that supported the creation of the timesheets, their insertion in Oracle ERP, and the status tracking in Oracle ERP.
We are using UiPath to automate our cache application and to download documents to help our finance team.
We use it in our robotics lab to deliver front and back office solutions for the clients. We're a BPO CRM organization, so there is a huge amount of opportunity, not just internally as an organization, but for our clients as well. We use UiPath as a delivery method to find reductions in costs and the like, year on year.
I work in the healthcare domain. We've automated a lot of financial and invoice-types of business processes, bringing in efficiencies in terms of saving time spent by field representatives in processing requests.
As a partner, we see many use cases. Our clients are really looking to UiPath or RPA as a means of digital transformation. Some of the areas we see them use it are in finance, supply chain, human resources, IT automation, and tax functions. The way we tell our clients to look at UiPath is that everywhere they have repetitive functions happening, they should explore RPA as an opportunity.
We use it across all functions, but our major groups right now are accounting followed by tax.
We are accountants and consultants and there are many mundane processes in auditing. Using RPA to automate not only allows us to be more precise, but we can also audit a larger population of material. We get accuracy and speed, and those are our main goals.
We work in the healthcare industry. We are trying to establish a use case for our company to speed up our processes. Because with FDA regulations, there are a lot of processes to follow. There are a lot of phases of implementation to follow. For example, if you want a drug for cancer, a lot of time is spent, but it takes more time to release to the market because of all the manual labor intensive work which is happening. Therefore, I am working with legislators and the FDA to see where we can cut paths. There's a lot of scope for automation. UiPath is one of the best product for this.
We are automating back office business processes focusing on business finance and tax, specifically. We are just recently starting our implementation, but we have been doing a proof of concept for the last year or so on the community edition. We recently signed the license agreement will be moving forward with implementing it full-time. I am functioning as a lead developer.
We use UiPath for automating activities that which from operations, such as policy administration, claims handling, HR activities, and finance to a little bit of underwriting support.

A lot of our business development teams (end users) use it by going to a vendor's site.
To increase the efficiency in jobs that people do not like to do.
We're doing a pilot. It's something that we trying to use to obtain more sales automatically. It's about selling tickets, and we're building the capability to do that more quickly and reduce costs.
Primary use case is to find the highest value add processes and automate them to allow people to work on other things, which are of higher value and more strategic. I currently have a team of about 15 people on my team, as a central team. We are at 35 licenses, so we have about 35 developers across the company.
Mainly, we are using this product for automation, the kind of automation that a human usually does.
UiPath is best at its core and with the help of plugins from UiPath and community you get solutions to a lot of problems out of the box. I have tried couple of more platforms, but the easiness, diversity and flexibility that UiPath provides is unparalleled. In the recent top 50 enterprise application at g2crowd, UiPath is at 18th place and topmost in the automation platforms. I have done quite a lot of different real-time projects with UiPath. In one big project, there was a lot of loan applications from scanned documents. We used Abbyy Flexicapture for reading OCR and ICR text and we read it very accurately. It really boosted the moral and now we are automating the whole CAD department of the bank. Now we are looking forward to more complex processes and try using the ML and AI into it.
