Rajat J
Automation Engineer
4.0

Rajat: Hi guys. Myself, Rajat, and I'm a senior software engineer at Baker Hughes. We are a energy technology company and we deal in various oil field services and various subsea connector systems, and we are also into manufacturing of sensors and drillings, and many other parts which are required for oil and energy operations. And for Automation Anywhere, I would give a four out of five. We have been using Automation Anywhere for our robotic process automation. We have lot of use cases which we use in different operations like finance, HR, and tax teams. And yeah, that's about it. I think Automation Anywhere is very open platform. It has very simple and concise development environment and it's very easy to drag and drop and create your automation workflows. I think Automation Anywhere needs to be having more of third party plugins and give more power to the third party developers so that they can have their plugins developed and that can be used by other users for the functionality which are not available in the platform.
