So, did you invest in RPA? Did you buy into the dream of automation? How's it going? Are your bots running at 100% reliability and delivering amazing ROI? Or are you fighting bot breakdowns and struggling to justify the expense of costly RPA bots with poor reliability?

To get the most out of any technology investment, you have to be sure you're using it in the right way. Just as you wouldn't remove a lid from a jar with a spatula, you shouldn’t use robotic process automation (RPA) for a purpose it isn't well suited to. The same is true for process mining and RPA. To maximize the benefits of both, you first need to understand what these two technologies do best.

With every iteration of automation technology that hits the market, one thing is clear: We are not far from a future where the only limit to what you can automate will be within the limits of your own imagination. Appian strives to open doors to the art of the possible by putting every automation capability you need to tackle any use case into our unified low-code platform. And in Appian 22.2, the latest product release, we’re opening Windows, too.

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a technology used to automate manual, rule-based, repetitive tasks within your business processes. This can help free up human workers so they can focus more on the activities that require human logic, reasoning, and emotion. RPA can also be used as a quick and easy way to connect to legacy systems that don't use application programming interfaces (APIs).

Appian RPA 7.12 is now live to help you build and execute automation faster than ever. Here are some of the upgrades and improvements available in the new release.
