5 Major Players in Robotic Process Automation Solutions for 2023

Earlier this year, these five solution providers were named “Major Players” in the Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation report by analyst house Gartner, Inc. Our editors have compiled summaries for each.

According to Gartner, “Robotic process automation (RPA) is a productivity tool that allows a user to configure one or more scripts (which some vendors refer to as ‘bots’) to activate specific keystrokes in an automated fashion.” These solutions can help organizations optimize day-to-day organizations by automating repetitive tasks and empowering employees to focus on more significant tasks.

Gartner recently named the following robotic process automation solution providers Leaders in the 2023 version of its 2023 edition of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation. The report highlights and scores the top products in the enterprise RPA marketplace and identifies these providers as cornerstones. As we come to the end fo 2023, the Solutions Review editors wanted to look back at these top-rated providers and provide readers with brief summaries of them and their services.
