On March 15 2017, Contextor organized a business breakfast dedicated to Robotic Process Automation.
As Craig Le Clair, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, had trip in Europe, we took the opportunity to allow our clients and partners to meet with him.
Craig explained his vision of the RPA market and its future developments and commented on the “Forrester Wave ™ Robotic Process Automation” published a few weeks ago.
The audience has been very interested in Craig’s inspiring speech, from which we retain a few quotes:
About Business Process Management – BPM
What is the general feeling about BPM? Well, it is not good. The problem is that projects often take too long, have organizational friction, and are expensive. It is now a mature market.
About the Forrester Wave
The RPA Wave tried to balance attended and unattended and give them equal weight. In doing so providers that specialize in one or the other may feel penalized.
About Contextor solution
Attended RPA is its strongest fit right now. The development part is in Node JS, which can help with more complex bots issues.
