Automation Cloud Series - Session 3.pptx

Editor's Notes

• #6 Providing an out-of-the box, enterprise-ready solution such as Automation Cloud, starts with a security-first mindset, which is built on three fundamental pillars. Number one - security has to run end-to-end. Which is why we've built powerful tools and guardrails across the entire UiPath Business Automation Platform. We’re going to talk about some of those today. Number two – we value your trust above all, and we honor that by being fully transparent with our controls and processes. And number three – and this ties into the first two – by being trusted with business-critical innovation, we’re able to have meaningful conversations and expand our capabilities for all our customers’ needs.
• #7 So let’s talk a bit about the UiPath Business Automation Platform in general. You obviously have specific business outcomes to drive - profitable growth, cost transformation and customer experience improvements. This requires you to both build new processes and adapt and improve existing ones. Your processes exist across your line of business applications and in the work your people do. You need a platform to bridge these two worlds and help you build and change your business processes quickly. Now, today’s webinar is focused on Automation Cloud as deployment method, and that’s by far the most comprehensive platform you could choose, with the fastest time-to-automation value and the highest ROI for new customers, with flexible enterprise-ready capabilities. Enabling you to continuously watch business processes, watch the work, understand how it actually gets done—not just within an Oracle or an SAP system, but all-across: from email, to PDFs, to Excel spreadsheets, through multiple SaaS systems and traditional legacy systems as well—to discover issues to mitigate and remediate, and high-ROI areas to automate.  Then to efficiently and reliably automate them. We have powerful API integration in addition to UI emulation, long-running workflows and easy human-robot handoffs, the ability to seamlessly use AI/ML models and skills, to seamlessly process information and extract understanding from documents and communications. And finally, to operate it all as a compliant, cost-effective, integrated platform. With analytics to track, measure, and manage automation performance, continuous testing to effortlessly ensure automation quality (and more generally the quality of any of your application development efforts), unified management and governance - so that you know the whole thing is compliant with your desired IT and security policies; and, of course, you can deploy the complete, cloud-native platform however you want, whether SaaS or self-hosted, for maximum flexibility—cloud-native all the way.
• #8 Operating a mission-critical automation program at enterprise scale is no small feat. But luckily UiPath offers all the right enterprise technologies and capabilities for customers to do just that while optimizing TCO, increasing compliance, and lowering time to value and risk. Analytics to track, measure, and manage the performance of the entire automation program, Testing to transform QA to a value provider, Unified Management and Governance for the integrated platform AND the automation program, and Flexible Deployment leaning on our cloud-first, customer choice approach allowing customers to get the integrated and compliant UiPath Business Automation Platform via SaaS or self-hosted in public cloud/on-prem. 
• #9 With our integrated platform, you can control and manage the entire automation life cycle across all your automations. You get a single command center to manage governance, security, and compliance, and deploy as many services as you need to start quickly and stay flexible in the long run. Let’s look at what the main benefits for you are. First of all, management and governance for both the integrated platform and your automation program gives you full and flexible control over the entire automation life cycle on the one hand, and the tools you’re using to run automations on the other. What this means is that you only need one single portal to conveniently manage users, automations, and platform-wide settings. And users can interact with automations naturally, and delegate only as much decision-making as they need to with long-running workflows that allow user input in complex situations. Centralized governance then becomes easy to implement as well – since you can separate by organization, department or tenant, you can give each user role access to the right tools they need to build, run or test automations, and you connect every automation to its rightful owner. Granular governance inheritance means that you can define your governance settings however you need to, and users or automations will inherit the appropriate levels of access. And with oversight over your entire automation program, you are in control of the tools, processes, assets and automations that are available to everyone in the company. But how easy is it for your IT team to do all of this? Well, the integrated platform means integrated user and admin experiences – and it’s easier and more time-effective to implement and update the platform for everyone in the organization from a single command center. When you opt for Automation Cloud as your deployment method, it’s easy to upgrade everyone to the latest version – and in true automation fashion, without having to manually configure each component. Automation users always benefit from the latest capabilities, and it all happens seamlessly for them. If you’re just getting started, it’s important to get automation up-and-running quickly for a fast time-to-value – but it’s equally important to stay flexible in the long run. With unified management and governance, you can deploy as many services as you need to start. Then, as usage grows, you can gradually deploy the full platform capabilities to achieve lower incremental TCO. Plus, our platform’s open and extensible architecture allows you to integrate seamlessly with your value delivery toolchain. Last but not least, you can also manage risk more effectively thanks to built-in security and compliance – from configurable alerts and full audit trails to capabilities like Robot endpoint protection. In a world where humans and robots work side by side, you needs end-to-end orchestration, governance, and security that’s easy to manage from one single place.  
• #11 The UiPath Automation Cloud enables UiPath customers of any size to start instantly and scale as they need. It takes one minute, one e-mail and one browser to sign up for the UiPath Automation Cloud for enterprise trial. Start prototyping your automations and let us worry about the infrastructure. With the UiPath Automation Cloud for enterprise, you can: Start instantly, scale infinitely Invest in automation, not infrastructure Every UiPath server product now has a Saas equivalent in Automation Cloud, either in production or available in public preview! The UiPath Portal gives you access to all the products and makes for an easy place to administer your environment as well as manage organization-wide policy for robots and RPA DevOps. It offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support from UiPath, and multi-tenant management.

• #13 Think of UiPath Orchestrator as the manager that gets the most out of your robot workforce – and keeps an eye on what it’s doing. It offers a single place to manage and optimize work across your attended and unattended robots, and control distribution of your automations It logs all robot and user actions and can also flag business exceptions built into automations, for compliance It has comprehensive dashboard based monitoring, and optional UiPath Insights can be added for trend analysis and even process ROI analysis from within Orchestrator’s UI Orchestrator is available in the UiPath Automation Cloud as SaaS, in the public cloud as SaaS/IaaS, or installed on-premises. Lower TCO Deploy and update automations in seconds to entire Active Directory groups instead of managing automations per Orchestrator user Reduce risk Long-running workflows, queue SLAs, and personal workspaces optimize your return on people and robots working together Grow, and know, your ongoing ROI Comprehensive centralized logging and auditing of all robot actions, and alerts for business exception flags from automations. Integration with UiPath Insights provides ROI measurement from live Orchestrator data, to know your returns in real time, per process
