Automation Anywhere, a global leader in robotic process automation (RPA), announced it has received the #1 ranking in HFS's second annual "Top 10 Robotic Process Automation Software Products" for the second straight year. The RPA ranking is based on interviews with more than 350 customers and product partners across leading RPA software products on the ability to execute, innovate and generate customer success. Automation Anywhere ranked highest for its technology, roadmap and vision after having been the first company to introduce a web-based, cloud-native RPA platform (Enterprise A2019), the first automation marketplace (Bot Store) and first dedicated analytics engine (Bot Insight) and IQ Bot, an AI-driven intelligent document processing solution that allows business users to process complex documents. "Increased adoption of automation will continue to be a strategic priority and captivate organizations exploring RPA in this new decade," said Phil Fersht, CEO and chief analyst, HFS. "Our latest ranking identifies the top RPA products from leading vendors, such as Automation Anywhere, that dramatically reduce cost and infrastructure barriers to RPA implementation and hold the promise of cost savings and improved productivity."

Businesses are beginning to address process complexity as part of digital transformation automation, which is raising awareness of the impact of tasks that are dependent upon human knowledge workers have on productivity, responsiveness, and profitability. The treatments for these requirements are process redefinition, process optimization, and straight-line automation. The goals of these activities are typically better customer/user experience, reduced time to completion, higher quality data capture, and the ability to scale in a non-linear fashion. To this end, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) products offer varying levels of support to replicate human-led activities as machine-based processing. The aforementioned treatments have critical importance to the evolution of the RPA product industry and the value of RPA tooling as part of your digital transformation.

WorkFusion, the leading AI-powered process automation provider, was awarded top honors in robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) by two independent panels of industry judges. Judges of the third annual AIconics selected WorkFusion as offering the Best Innovation in RPA from a shortlist that included three of the largest RPA providers.
