In a recent article from Horses for Sources (https://www.horsesforsources.com/rpa-dead-integrated-automation-platforms_041519), the author Phil Fersht claimed that 'RPA is dead'.
For those of you who haven't come across RPA, we created a short video to introduce the concept (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNCKyjdtWts).
So is RPA really dead?
Whilst the headline of the article is provocative, it raises many good points and comes at a time when valuations for RPA companies like UiPath are skyrocketing (the firm recently raised $568m at a $7bn valuation).
The article itself argues that as a standalone silver bullet, RPA deployment is only a component of the overall solution. Without a fully integrated automation strategy, encompassing an API gateway methodology at scale, process orchestration / BPM platforms, the underlying data management frameworks, and finally advanced analytic and AI / ML platforms to make use of the data.
As TJ Young (Consultant, Rumjog) summarizes, "In silos, all of it has limited impact, but together it's this integrated digital toolkit that you can approach end-to-end process to transform at scale versus spot projects".
