This few days , Wang Jiwei channel gets exclusive information through insiders , Alibaba cloud recently launched a service called 「RPA Cloud computer 」 Project , Developed by the shadowless architecture team that has always been low-key but has attracted much attention , It already includes real intelligence 、 Shadow knife and many others RPA The head manufacturer and its product technology docking .

From the data ,RPA Cloud computers have automatic login and registration robots 、 One click automatic completion of tasks and other features , It can help organizations quickly achieve efficiency and cost reduction through process automation , And has been implemented in many industries .

It is worth noting that , This may mean that Alibaba cloud is RPA The transformation of market role .

Want to say RPAaaS, You must be familiar with . Now almost all RPA The platforms have been put on the cloud ,RPAaaS Patterns are becoming RPA Manufacturers serve the mainstream solutions of organizations .

But when it comes to RPA Cloud computer , You certainly haven't seen , This concept should be put forward for the first time .

You can RPA Cloud computing is seen as RPA Combination with cloud desktop . But from RPA From the perspective of the architecture and functions of cloud computers , It cannot be simply regarded as RPA+DaaS.

With the traditional RPA comparison , It not only realizes out of the box , You can also directly from IaaS Layer calls for more elastic resources , Make computing power 、 The cost and safety have increased more . Especially in RPA+AI Under the trend of , This cloud computer is actually a standardized interface for massive computing resources .

I believe that at this point , Everyone has been very interested in this product . What is the industrial value of this new form ? Alibaba cloud regards it as a strategic product 、 To subvert the future terminal form of shadowless , Why go deep into the vertical field to develop RPA Cloud computer ?

this paper , Wang Jiwei channel will talk to you RPA Cloud computer .

from RPA+DaaS Talking about

Friends who often watch Wang Jiwei's channel articles , Have understood RPAaaS(RPA Application ) yes RPA After the cloud “ Namely service ” Pattern , So this one RPA What is cloud computer ?

Simply speak , RPA Cloud computing is somewhat like RPA And DaaS( Desktop is application , Or cloud desktop ) The combination of , It will RPA Integrate directly into the cloud desktop , And encapsulate multiple automation applications and components into RPA in , And then realize simpler RPA Open the box .

From the perspective of implementation ,RPA+DaaS Than RPAaaS More simple and direct , No arrangement IT The organization of the facility only needs a cloud desktop terminal the size of a set-top box , Can achieve through RPA Optimize business processes in multiple scenarios . And the payoff is , Nature is higher ROI.

About RPA+DaaS Specific product form , It will be explained in detail below . here , Let's talk about why it happened RPADaaS This model .

in fact ,RPA+DaaS It's not by chance that , It is born in need .

Recent years , although RPA Its market size and application growth rate in various industries are growing rapidly , but RPA The success rate of implementation and operation has not been significantly improved . In fact, many of them are based on RPA Our business process is very fragile , Many organizations have to continuously invest manpower 、 technology ( Super automation, etc ) Wait for resources to ensure RPA Stable operation of .

RPA A lot of applications of , In addition to creating more RPA Operation and maintenance team , It also brings many new business challenges to the organization .

First , There are more and more types of robots , There's a robot on duty (Attended robot) However, the proportion of . With the increasing burden of robot operation and maintenance management , Decentralized robot operation and maintenance requires a lot of manpower , This poses a great challenge to employee management ;

secondly , From simulated behavior to intelligent behavior makes AI And RPA Fusion acceleration , It is bound to force the calculation force to continue to improve , It will greatly increase the hardware acquisition cost of the organization ;

also , The trend of super automation technology makes design 、 Unstructured data in all aspects of management surged , Need a more secure full stack data running environment ;

Besides , Flexible office trend promoted by epidemic and other reasons , Accelerate the optimization of digital labor , At the same time, more flexible deployment methods are also needed , But more RPA The management platform is still popular with geographical restrictions .

RPA A large number of deployment applications have brought new business challenges to the organization , It can be summarized as RPA For high computing power 、 Low cost 、 mobility 、 The need for interactivity . all the time , Limited by infrastructure 、 Operating environment and other multiple factors , Everyone believes that these four points cannot be achieved at the same time . but RPA+DaaS Appearance , Maybe it can change people's attitude towards RPA Consistent cognition of .

In Alibaba cloud team ,RPA+DaaS The final solution is RPA Cloud computer . And four points brought by new business challenges RPA demand , It is the several characteristics of shadowless cloud computers .

What kind of product is this ? See below .

Revealed 10 Multiple product features

According to Wang Jiwei channel , Developed by Alibaba cloud shadowless architecture team 「RPA Cloud computer 」 The goal is to provide a set of services RPA Industry computing terminal solutions , Seed customers have been verified in more than ten industries .

According to the disclosed information , Shadowless is the product of Alibaba cloud's attempt to change the future terminal architecture , It solves the traditional desktop office mode in delivery 、 Experience 、 Management and other deficiencies , Be able to build an integrated cloud 、 Security 、 Efficient one-stop cloud office space .

▲ RPA Cloud computer operation interface

No shadow RPA Cloud computer is based on Alibaba cloud base , Reuse mature and reliable basic technologies , It also integrates the capabilities of other cloud computing general products , Therefore, it has the following core values ：

• Automatic login registration robot ;
• Temporary maintenance link . Password free and limited access to the desktop ;
• in the light of RPA Create a session at the back end of the scene ;
• Unified account 、 The remote access • One click automatic completion of tasks ;
• Data security ;
• Pooled desktop management 、 Connect API Integrate ;
• Stay online at all times ;
• Screen recording function review （ Collect operation and operation data ）;
• In the future, we will cooperate RPA Realize process mining 、 The optimization process .

In terms of deployment ,RPA And cloud desktop can help organizations solve the high cost 、 The problem of inefficiency . The combination of the two is shadowless RPA Cloud computer , Can solve more problems , Including the excessive hardware investment caused by the rapid change of organizational business 、 The cost of operation and maintenance is too high 、 The security guarantee and operation environment control of sensitive data processing 、 Unstable business environment, error prone execution, etc .

In application , Relative to tradition RPA,RPA Cloud computing solves offline RPA Existing equipment takes up seat space 、 It is difficult to access remotely when problems occur 、 Problems such as inelastic resources , Also solved the cloud RPA The existence needs public network IP And port access 、 Managing connections is complicated 、 There are some problems in multi person operation, such as preemption and poor operation experience caused by manual intervention .

From this view ,RPA Cloud computing has many advantages , It will directly RPA Out of the box , Achieve a lower level .

from “RPA+DaaS” To “IaaS for RPA”?

A mature RPA product , At least in terms of security 、 stability 、 It has good performance in ease of use and scalability . If the software and hardware are used out of the box RPA Solution , We must be better in these aspects .

RPA Cloud computing is still a carrier of basic cloud computing technology ,“ Calculate the force 、 cost 、 Security 、 convenient 、 to open up ” Or core values , Therefore, it has a large amount of computing power 、 Flex as needed ; In terms of cost ,RPA Cloud computing can effectively optimize TCO To reduce operation and maintenance costs ; Especially in terms of security ,RPA Cloud computers adopt multiple data security mechanisms , Through data without landing 、 Rich security policies such as multi copy preservation , Achieve high reliability and leak proof .

Network and computing power from Alibaba Cloud Computing , To ensure the RPA Handle the running stability of parallel business processes .

At the same time, the calculation force of expansion and contraction on demand 、 Out of the box features and the integration scheme of shadowless cloud computer and a variety of Alibaba cloud products , bring RPA Be able to connect from IaaS Layer to SaaS Various systems and applications of layer , It can more simply realize the business process automation of various data systems , Ease of use and scalability are greatly improved .

In fact, in terms of simplicity and ease of operation , Cloud computing makes RPA The ease of use of has been raised to another level .

For the average user , Users do not need to purchase back-end local servers , There is no need to invest in the front end PC Other equipment , Only need shadowless cloud computer soft terminal or thin terminal , You can open many business scenarios that have been adapted and encapsulated on the cloud desktop RPA robot , Quickly realize nailing 、office、ERP、CRM And other common enterprise management software business process automation .

This kind of operation is difficult , It can be called a fool .

And at the market level , Ali cloud, RPA The cloud computing project has clearly chosen the ecological route , Will include IaaS Various capabilities, including, are packaged and output to RPA manufacturer .

according to the understanding of , At present, it is really intelligent RPA、 Shadow knife RPA And so on have become the first batch to have no shadow with Alibaba cloud RPA Cloud computing partners , Wang Jiwei channel also saw the cooperation information between real intelligence and shadowless .

as everyone knows , Due to e-commerce 、 Close cooperation in manufacturing scenes , Alibaba cloud RPA In China, it belongs to the first camp , Launched by cloud manufacturers RPA It is also ranked NO.1.

It can also be seen from this that , Ali Yun in RPA The role and positioning of the industry have begun to change , From the past in e-commerce and unattended RPA( Running on the server side ) A big player in the game turned into IaaS for RPA, Start playing the new RPA The role of the deployment accelerator .

RPA What trend does cloud computing represent ?

From the current RPA According to the development progress and the digital needs of the organization , For a long time to come , Artificial semi on duty robots are still domestic RPA The mainstream of the market .

This means that the man-machine collaborative business process automation mode will continue to exist . And to ensure the safety of human participation in business processes 、 Compliance and efficiency , We need to further improve the system that adapts to people ( machine ) The indicators of .

Traditional local RPA Deploy , Limited by the operating system of the computer 、 The resolution of the 、 Antivirus software and other software environments and network environments , Financial resources 、IT With limited infrastructure , Deploy RPA The threshold and cost are still high , Many small and medium-sized enterprises can only flinch .

RPA After the cloud RPAaaS Pattern , Although it can make the deployment and price simpler and cheaper , But in RPA+AI Under the trend of , But it can't solve the random computing power of users 、 Storage, etc , Nor can the security of business and data be guaranteed from the lower level .

In view of the above three points , Can make security 、 stability 、 Ease of use and scalability to play a better RPA Cloud computing is even more important , It's more practical .
