Automation Co-Pilot für Geschäftsanwender (Automation Co-Pilot)

Automation Co-Pilot is an easy-to-use interface that enables business users to collaborate with Bots. Users can start process automations, provide feedback to Bots to resume processes, and escalate requests to additional users for downstream processing. Automation Co-Pilot enables the enterprise to unlock new automation opportunities between humans and Bots that RPA could not previously address.

Control Room
Bot Runner
Bot Editor
Bot Creator
Credential Vault

Automation Workspace provides the following capabilities:

Process Discovery

An intelligent business solution that delivers a real-time, data-driven map of your business to help you uncover transformational process insights across all applications, through each department, and for every single task. Process Discovery follows the human instead of process logs by using advanced computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to capture every step in every process across every system. It requires zero integration, is universally compatible, and provides the privacy and security of an on-premises solution.

Privacy Enhanced Gateway

Using Privacy Enhanced Gateway (PEG), enterprises can confidently execute on their strategic business initiatives by filtering their sensitive data in a secure and scalable manner. PEG works by redacting sensitive data that has been obtained on customer's machines within their own network before forwarding the data to the Process Discovery cloud for analysis. As all traffic from the agents goes through PEG before leaving the customer's perimeter, PEG removes personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data.

Discovery Bot

An intelligent business solution for enterprise businesses that provides capabilities for end users to discover opportunities for automation using process discovery. Discovery Bot focuses on process automation by capturing document processes, identifying opportunities from business centric processes, and prioritizing opportunities based on ROI, and create Bots automatically. Discovery Bot aligns business workers to uncover automation opportunities that can optimize the return on your RPA investment.
