SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro
Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced the general
availability of Micro Focus Robotic Process Automation (RPA) which
gives companies the power to build, secure, and scale automated
business processes, from legacy to modern, across the
enterprise.
According to Gartner, "The ability to integrate legacy
systems is the key driver for RPA projects. By using this
technology, organizations can quickly accelerate their digital
transformation initiatives, while unlocking the value associated
with past technology investments." Micro Focus RPA automates
repetitive, error-prone UI-based human actions on legacy apps and
integrates them with modern IT process automation in a single
product.
"Micro Focus RPA delivers on key capabilities such as
scalability, resiliency and security that our customers and
partners demanded," said Tom Goguen,
Micro Focus Chief Product Officer. "It adapts to UI changes,
automates UI and API-based applications, and includes real-time
auditing and traceability, giving our customers the confidence to
deploy RPA across the enterprise while providing for centralized
governance and compliance for their digital workforce."
"As we have worked closely the last few years with our customers
and partners to leverage test automation for their first RPA
projects, it presented a convenient way to evaluate the potential
of business-related automation and further prove its value to the
organization," said Raffi Margaliot, Micro Focus General Manager
for Application Delivery Management. "With Micro Focus RPA, we
augmented our core capabilities to be purpose-built for RPA, and we
believe our innovations in making automation more resilient to
change will deliver a lower TCO compared to existing
solutions."
Micro Focus RPA capabilities include:
- Easy-to-use design studio: An intuitive design interface
that allows users to easily record screen actions and design
sophisticated end-to-end RPA workflows, visually or with code.
- Cross-platform connections: A technology-rich product
that combines UI automation with API and other integration methods
to connect business processes spanning old and new applications.
- Scalable robots: A worker-queue-based architecture to
scale robots up or down as workloads change, making it possible to
run hundreds or thousands of robots at once.
- Centralized security: A centralized dashboard to manage
the robots that have unique IDs and encrypted, role-based
credentials.
- Resilient robots: Advanced object recognition technology
to detect UI changes and automatically adapt as needed, saving time
on maintenance.
"Our customers demand genuine improvements through integrated
service delivery, and we know this can only occur with advanced
service offerings and innovative partnership in technologies like
robotic process automation," said Denham
Seneviratne, National Sales Manager for Winthrop Australia.
"We believe Micro Focus is well placed to help deliver on this
promise, and we hope our customers are the beneficiaries."
"At Kinetic IT, we strengthen our personalized service offerings
by minimizing effort on activities better suited to automation,"
said Brett Roberts, Chief Product
Officer of Kinetic IT. "The release of Micro Focus RPA opens up new
opportunities to explore and pursue for the benefit of our
customers."
"As a Platinum partner of Micro Focus, we are excited about the
release of the RPA product and see the definite benefits it can
start to bring our clients," said Jamie
Duffield, CEO of Revolution IT. "The RPA product will enable
us to automate their processes and focus areas of their application
stack to drive value into repetitive tasks quickly and
efficiently."
With cost-effective licensing, companies can keep their RPA
costs predictable and scalable. Pricing starts at $15,000 USD per robot, with special pricing that
extends to Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing and Operations
Orchestration customers.
