Contextor solution was designed not just to automate existing processes, but to facilitate the digital transformation of a company, allowing it to enrich and improve its business processes. January 2018, it benefits from major evolutions which multiply its capacities to quickly configure the processes to be executed by robots and to create specific user interfaces to better assist the users interacting with the RPA bots. Contextor version 3.3 facilitates collaboration between business leaders and IT to improve the customer experience and free employees of tedious tasks by intelligently automating business processes.
Contextor Studio / Workflow Designer – Quickly configure RPA robots

Contextor Studio, the development environment for the Contextor solution, is enriched with a new module: Workflow Designer. Fully visual, this new tool integrated in Contextor Studio supports the intuitive design, production, documentation, testing and maintenance of robots, by viewing their entire workflow.
The various steps of the process to be executed by the robot are created and assembled by simply dragging and dropping the windows of the applications, then by selecting the elements concerned by the interactions that the robot will execute automatically. This design phase is accessible to a business leader.
From the workflow are automatically generated
- the JavaScript code that will be executed by the robot
- the documentation of the robot, with export of diagrams, screenshots and comments
Of course, a developer keeps full freedom to modify the robot code after it has been generated. In particular, it can implement specific actions coded in Javascript language.
This opennes brings the flexibility to quickly integrate new tools, especially from artificial intelligence: machine learning, natural language processing, chatbots… Ti allows also to take into account all the scenarios that can occur to a robot in production in an industrialized information system.
The tool also allows the debugging of the robot in “step-by-step mode”, by visualizing all the steps in the workflow directly.
More than ever, the ability to rapidly implement advanced software robots, performing complex tasks and fully meeting the high requirements of large enterprise information systems, remains one of the key strengths of the Contextor solution.
Contextor Studio / User Interface Designer – Create interface components for Attended RPA
This visual module allows to quickly create user interfaces that fluidify the interactions between an “Attended RPA” robot and the user who it assists in its tasks.
The desired web interface is created simply by dragging and dropping objects: display areas, input fields, buttons, gauges etc. The robot feeds its visual elements with the data it has access to during the process.
Based on widely used JQuery and Bootstrap web frameworks and libraries, this tool allows to quickly set up virtual web pages, pop-ups or context-sensitive online help pages, retractable application banners
…
User Interface Designer makes it possible to improve the comfort of the users in their daily work, while guaranteeing a faster learning of the procédures – guidance – and the strict respect of the operating modes – compliance.
More than ever, the ability to rapidly implement advanced software robots, performing complex tasks and fully meeting the high requirements of large enterprise information systems, remains one of the key strengths of the Contextor solution.
According to Pierre Col, Chief marketing Officer at Contextor, “Contextor is particularly expert in the technologies called Attended RPA, that is to say the implementation of software robots that assist a human in the execution of processes operated on the workstation. By automating repetitive and non-value-added sequences of actions such as “open an application -> launch a query -> copy information -> open another application -> select a screen -> paste the information -> click on the validation button -> go back to the first application », it increases the comfort at work of hundreds of employees, who have more time to devote to value-added tasks involving their intelligence, their skills and their sense of the client. What Contextor brings is an augmented intelligence solution for business digital transformation.”
“Contextor is a historic player in a fast-growing sector: according to the Gartner, Forrester, Everest, Market Research Future etc, the Robotic Process Automation will represent between 2020 and 2023 a global market of 2.5 to 5 billion dollars, with annual growth above 30%. A vendor for more than 15 years of RPA solutions that equip the largest European companies, Contextor is focused on the ease of use of its software. Because that is by simply configuring their bots and industrially deploying them that our customers obtain measurable returns on investments » adds Patrick Lemare, founder and president of Contextor.
