Our take
Although technology is supposed to save labor, often it doesn't feel like it, with the average desk worker stuck carrying out an increasing number of repetitive manual tasks just to make their growing software stack function. Enter Automation Anywhere, a provider of robotic process automation (RPA) software designed to handle tedious repetitive functions, freeing teams for more productive work.
RPA is a highly competitive field, with firms like Celonis attracting vast amounts of funding and Microsoft beginning to bundle RPA functionality with its business packages. What helps Automation Anywhere stand out is its use of AI to discover the processes that can be automated within a company, a task that is usually carried out by expensive consultancy firms. This has allowed Automation Anywhere to grow a huge client base, including the likes of the NHS, Dell and Staley Black & Decker.
Fueled by partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and PwC India, Automation Anywhere is accelerating its leadership in AI-powered automation. These collaborations allow the company to deliver cutting-edge solutions and aid in its continued growth.
