How Robot Framework has changed the RPA market, and what we did with it
2024-02-28 , RoboConOnline

The presentation explores challenges in SME RPA projects, emphasizing Robot Framework's advantages and sharing insights on overcoming obstacles for an RPA agency


As is the case in many countries, in the Netherlands the SME market is the true engine of the economy. This is also where most of the workforce is active. Although RPA was always an interesting solution for them technically, the investment in the software and the hiring of the required knowledge made it non-viable for most companies.

What we are now experiencing is a true revolution in the RPA market, due to the evolution of RPA software. We have embraced Robot Framework through Robocorp to expand our offerings and start helping the SME market at a large scale for the first time.

In our talk we would like to take the visitors on a journey through the challenges involved in RPA projects in the SME markets, such as budgeting, technical and process knowledge within companies and the impact RPA robots have on these organizations.

We will be highlighting the advantages of doing this with robot framework and how it has helped us create a viable RPA agency and share the main obstacles we had to overcome (and are still dealing with).
