Automation Anywhere

Automation Anywhere is a global company that develops robotic process automation (RPA) software. 
Founded in 2003, the company is headquartered in San Jose, California.
RPA Technology.
RPA helps companies automate repetitive processes based on rules and structured data so they can improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. This technology allows businesses to connect a variety of applications without native integrations like APIs or other backend connectors. It automates processes using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and performs actions similar to a human operator but at a much faster speed and without errors.
RPA Industry.
As of 2021, RPA has become the fastest growing sector in the tech industry with growth attributed to the pandemic and the need for organizations to reduce costs.  The global demand for RPA was worth more than US$2.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach more than US$18.3 billion in 2027, at a CAGR of 31.07% from 2020 to 2027.   RPA software revenue is projected to reach $1.89 billion in 2021, an increase of 19.5% from 2020, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc.
Automation Anywhere has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for two consecutive years, as well as highlighted in the Forrester Wave Report.
