“ At this time of heightened stress
and anxiety , it ’ s vital to free up doctors and nurses ’ time for patients wherever it can be done . Robotic process automation minimises , if not removes , the need for people to carry out repetitive , rules-based admin work – speeding up processes and ensuring they ’ re error-free ”
UiPATH
New York-based RPA company UiPath was founded in 2005 by Marius Tirca and Daniel Dines . With a business model rooted firmly in the belief that “ automation is the future of work ”, UiPath operates under the assumption that “ Just as Bill Gates envisioned a world with a PC for every desktop , UiPath envisions a world with a robot for every person .”
UiPath customers have access to the company ’ s Automation Hub and platform , as well as a studio where they can use code-less commands to build their own custom bots to suit an array of specialised needs . The company offers both attended and unattended bots , designed to work in tandem with a human worker , or alone – automating predictable , repetitive back-office functions – respectively .
