Courtesy of Blueprint's, Matthew Dodgson wrote a synopsis of her speaking session discussing 'Migrating Bots Between Platforms to Unlock and Amplify the Business Value of Your RPA Program'.
The writing’s on the wall—2021 will bring an influx of competitive account transitions as organizations abandon their RPA platform for an alternative. RPA vendors have oversold the ease of implementation and time-to-value, creating a growing wave of discontent among their customer base.
Organizations have grown impatient and frustrated. They want to realize the returns and benefits they were promised from their RPA vendors, instead of spending their time putting out the fires caused by crippling RPA maintenance and support, preventing scale and diminishing the business value of entire digital workforces. Whether it’s insufficient returns, unfulfilled promises, or consolidating bot portfolios into one tool, the motivation across industries to switch RPA providers is definitely alive and real.
Changing RPA tools, however, is much easier said than done. There’s a reason account transitions between RPA vendors has been relatively minimal. The burden of migrating entire bot portfolios from one tool to another was simply too high. In many cases, migration meant building entire digital workforces from scratch. The manual effort and operational cost alone were enough to deter even the most motivated RPA program from switching, not to mention all the other challenges that came with migration like lost credentials, a lack of code parity, absent versioning, and both missing audit logs and unavailable output compare.
The challenges of migration essentially meant that automation programs were locked-in to their provider. That is, until now.
Blueprint has radically simplified RPA migrations between all leading RPA platforms, unlocking the ability to switch vendors and the entire market in the process. Blueprint provides a seamless, end-to-end migration process that is completed 3x faster and reduces the costs of migration by 75%, removing the friction of switching RPA vendors while adding significant value to your bot architecture.
Blueprint’s Enterprise Automation Suite ingests bots from all the leading RPA tools and reverse-engineers them into the Blueprint platform, creating an upgraded automated process in the form of a Digital Blueprint.
Digital Blueprints can then be further optimized, if needed, before being automatically pushed into any other leading RPA platform that you want to migrate to. This includes the opportunity to connect your automated processes to all relevant dependencies, systems, and constraints, facilitating dramatically improved RPA change management and risk analysis to maximize RPA uptime and in turn, the business value and ROI of your digital workforce.
Leveraging your RPA tool with Blueprint - the world’s most powerful automation design and management solution - you’re enabled to design, build, and manage high-value automations with speed and precision to finally scale your RPA initiatives and achieve the ROI that what promised.
