Enabling citizen development Unseen before , the UiPath Business Automation Platform enables non-technical people to create their own automations . This ‘ citizen development ’ aspect , according to Krumrey , allows individuals to be involved as co-creators in the automation process .
“ We saw how people in businesses wanted to drive more innovation from a technology perspective faster and they had to due to the pandemic ,” he says . “ Our RPA technology was designed to enable those non-technical office workers to create automations or to generate the process documentation whilst they were doing the activity . And that kind of new productivity tool was unseen before .”
Citizen developers play a vital role in helping organisations to scale the technologies that underpin digital transformations . With research by UiPath showing that 86 % of employees wish for the opportunity to acquire new skills , utilising citizen developers can take the pressure off automation developers and help organisations scale automation by casting a wider net of automation development .
“ If you compare the typical approach – having people sitting together , spending months to create the process documentation until this is implemented – it could take eight or nine months for large companies ,” Krumrey points out .
“ The benefit of our automation platform is that you can build automations in smaller chunks bit by bit in a shorter development time to realise a complex end-to-end process automation . It is the answer of bringing IT and business operations together in fusion teams to accelerate the digital transformation ,” Krumrey adds . “ Most transformations fail around the lack of change management . So engage employees EXECUTIVE BIO
