SurfaceAI and UiPath: a perfect partnership to drive your automation program to success

This year is going to be huge for organizations implementing robotic process automation. Gartner notes that 85 percent of large and very large enterprises will have deployed some form of RPA by the end of 2022.

When you think of RPA, UiPath is one of the first names that will pop into your mind. It is a leading RPA vendor with more than 7000 customers across worldwide locations. SurfaceAI provides advanced process insights to all UiPath users, enabling them to identify the best automation candidates and scale their automation program.

How do SurfaceAI and UiPath work together?

SurfaceAI is an advanced process discovery platform that leverages artificial intelligence to provide automation leaders with complete visibility into end-to-end processes along with variations. Though a process may seem straightforward in standard operating procedures, there are hidden variations and fragmented processes. In a recent Deloitte survey, 36 percent of respondents revealed that fragmented processes are the biggest blockers for scaling their automation program.

SurfaceAI helps organizations overcome this challenge by tracking every user action via keystrokes and mouse clicks to create process flow maps. Organizations can use these insights to create automation programs of the highest governance and security. In addition, our solution comes with an intelligent mechanism to automatically create process definition documents (PDD). With this information, automation CoE leaders can identify candidates ripe for automation and build a healthy pipeline for automation, saving up to 70% of RPA project resources.

The SurfaceAI process discovery approach follows three simple steps:

  1. Set-up: set-up SurfaceAI on users’ machines with minimum technical dependency.
  2. Capture “AS-IS” processes: SurfaceAI tracks screen navigations, user actions, event logs along with all the variations of tasks in a non-intrusive manner for a set period. 
  3. Enrich: Use text or voice annotations to edit screenshot captions and enrich the data to provide better insights.

Since SurfaceAI partners with UiPath, automation CoE members can import the auto-generated RPA scripts into UiPath to create bots for quick deployment. The deep process insights and strong automation capabilities enable enterprises to go beyond low-hanging automation opportunities and identify processes that will scale to achieve true benefits. Process discovery helps to accelerate automation deployments with confidence.

Leverage the synergy

Organizations that start their automation program with efficient process discovery are more successful at achieving their business objectives. And the benefits of process discovery don’t stop at RPA. The process maps visualize the most efficient way to execute a complex process. You can set benchmarks for processes and train your employees to follow the best practices.

Business transformation programs rely on complete business knowledge and accelerated automation. SurfaceAI and UiPath let you achieve just that! Take the objective approach to achieve better results for your organization.
