The UiPath Immersion Lab will enable customers and partners to test their business processes automation scenarios and make the move to the digital business a reality
Businesses need to thoroughly assess opportunities, test different scenarios and plan ahead when it comes to scaling their RPA deployments. Recognising this, UiPath, the leading provider of enterprise Robotics Process Automation (RPA) software, has today opened its inaugural Immersion Lab – a physical space where prospects, customers and partners across EMEA can visit for a deep-dive journey into RPA and AI.
The Lab, situated in Bucharest, Romania, will enable customers and partners to deliver optimal RPA and AI implementations by simulating their environment beforehand, and also allow them to realise possibilities beyond their existing RPA operation.
The opening of the Lab forms an integral part of UiPath’s mission to create an ‘Automation First’ era. This initiative champions one robot for every person, free and open training and collaboration, and enabling software robots to learn new skills through AI and machine learning.
The Lab has been built with pre-installed and ready-to-use showcases involving emerging technologies from the UiPath partner ecosystem. Customers and partners can bring their own data and test pre-configured demo use-cases, exploring automation – which brings measurable business benefits – and artificial intelligence technology integration, to guide their digital transformation strategies.
Led by UiPath Chief Robotics Officer, Boris Krumrey, the Immersion Labs are part of the UiPath Global Services operation. Krumrey comments: “Companies are eager to explore AI and related technologies, but many find it difficult to imagine the move from task and process automation towards the desired destination of company-wide digitisation. Our Lab simulates the experience of what lies ahead of automation. It will empower our customers and partners to make informed decisions, in order to advance to the next level of their business strategy.”
The Lab also provides the ideal facility to conduct workshops with machine learning and business process improvements. Drawing on UiPath best practices, teams will build, and test showcases in various lab environments – with outcomes recorded and documented for further use.
The Bucharest Lab, which was announced last October at UiPath Forward in London, is the first to open globally. Further Immersion Labs will be built across the world – including in Bangalore, Seattle and Tokyo by the end of 2019. Regional teams of RPA developers, data engineers and consultants will develop, maintain and present ready-to-use showcases.
The Labs will also be used for conducting UiPath Academy Live trainings and streaming live webinars about new product highlights and solutions with new showcases.
