Automation and Collaboration in Focus at Salesforce’s TrailblazerDX 2022
Salesforce’s TrailblazerDX (TDX) 2022, a Salesforce developer conference at the end of April, featured a plethora of forward-looking statements, demos, workshops, and dancing mascots. Much was said and shown, but automation and collaboration were key themes at both TDX and the preceding analyst summit. So how does Salesforce's messaging line up with what software buyers are asking for?

The Pros and Cons of Different Automation Types
The concept of automation is straightforward: create tools that perform tasks with minimal human involvement. And the motivation for more automation is simple: Companies can do more with less. “More” means companies can sell and deliver a higher volume of products and services than ever before. “Less” refers to the fact that, thanks to automation, fewer resources are required.

G2 on Enterprise AI & Analytics: What is It Really & Why Does It Matter?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the hottest topic in technology. Its use in the age of digital transformation spans the commercial and public sectors, fueling debate among businesses, lawmakers, and the public. I have been putting pen to paper on the subject for a few years now; having recently joined G2 to nurture the expansion of our AI categories (as well as our analytics, cloud, and security categories), I would like to sum up some of my views, while setting the scene for a more detailed exploration of the technologies, business challenges, and trends shaping AI.

Question on: UiPath Agentic Automation
How much accurate is OCR
Using flexicapture its goood too use.
UiPath uses many different methods of text recognition and reading, including multiple OCR engines such as Microsoft and Google, all of which are very reliable.
It depend on the content you are scanning. my assumption is if content is clear then it can give 100% but if content is blur or hand written then it can reduce to 50% depend on the clarity of the content
very accurate with the last release of uipath screen ocr is free and better than abbyy cloud or google cloud even faster
100% accurate in especially for PDF it gonna use full a lot
Most of the times OCR is fairly accurate. But when there are similar texts on the screen it behaves ambiguously. For instance if you have "mode-I" and "mode-II" on the same page it might confuse between the two.
The accuracy of OCR depends on the document quality.
For unstructured documents embedded OCR tools (from Google, Microsoft) are fairly acceptable.
For semistructured documents (invoices & receipts & bank statements) we are working with Abbyy FlexiCapture tools.
For each document type it is possible to define a layout for data that must be extracted using Abbyy FlexiLayout. This layout is then used in Abbyy FC Document Definition to test the extraction. This will generate so called .fcdot that can be integrated in UIPath workflows using Abbyy Intelligent OCR package. In this way the extraction is very accurate and automation works excellent. Still, the confidence level should be defined in Abbyy FC. In the case of any uncertainties, UIPath raises Abbyy Verification station. It is possible to extract data not only from pdf files, but also from .tiff, .png and .jpg.
Still, to use Abbyy Intelligent OCR package is mandatory to use Abbyy FC Engine. This is licensed separately by UIPath directly and not by Abbyy.
One last recommendation:
Use Abbyy FC Standalone instead of Abbyy FC Distributed. It is mandatory to use integration in UIPath activities for the .fcdot files.

Question on: Automation Anywhere Agentic Process Automation
Are we using the Automation in right manner and do we became too obsessed with it?
Too much usage of automation results in lack of innovation . Youth are too much in automation, they are giving too much time for some apps and using them for unauthorized works. Many People became too obsessed with the usage of automation.
We always think that The Test Automation is a magical formula But when we actually start the automation we need to define the right-time
If this exercise is not done well, then it can be very expensive. ... But with automated testing, you can design the scripts in such manner as per our needs.
In reality, we are not using enough automation. Majority of the processes even in large scale organisations are waiting for automation. The critical cause for this is that a vast portion of their processes are still un-standardized. This is resulting in over utilization of human resources.
Even the small scale industries are not benefitting enough from automation because of limited access to automation technologies resulting in overhead expenses.
In overall scenario, due to lack of automation, most of the jobholders are being employed for the work which is not challenging for their creativity and potential.

Question on: UiPath Agentic Automation
i want to know is there any control room is there for UIPath like AA
some Softwares in RPA have control room to store the there work in remote locations like that is this Uipath software have ..?
Hey. In UiPath there is Orchestrator which basically serves the same purpose as Control Room. You can monitor robot's performance, manually start/stop certain workflows, manage work queues, schedule robots to start certain workflows, store assets (including credentials).
One significant difference is that UiPath studio doesn't have to be connected to Orchestrator in order to be able to work. While AA client has to be connected to Control Room before you can use it.
Yes there is. It's call orchestrador. And it enables you to control your bots and look at their logs. I know UiPath is working in bringing more robust analytics to it as well
Yes we have a web based component called orchestrator, which can be used as centralized place to store your process, credentials, assets. This allows to connect your bot as well for process deployment, It helps in triggering and scheduling process.
The community version can be used through the link platform.uipath.com
We have Orchestrator here in UIPath like Controll room to manage Bots.
