The company now has more than 1,000 employees and plans to increase its employee count by an additional 50 percent by year end. Capping off the first six months of the year, UiPath was named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Robotic Process Automation, Q2 2018 achieving the highest score in the “Current Offering” category, the highest possible score in the “Market Presence” category and among the highest scores in the “Strategy” category.
Earlier this year, the company released UiPath 2018 “Firefly,” further demonstrating that RPA is the best path to AI. UiPath 2018.2, the most recent release, offers the industry’s most versatile approach to AI in enterprise automation with core product capabilities that ensure extensibility, enabling easy integrations to AI offerings developed at startups, universities, and technology leaders.
Daniel Dines, co-founder and CEO of UiPath, said:
We are excited about the momentum of the business. It’s truly rewarding to see RPA come to life within our customers’ organisations. RPA is driving measurable value inside business operations today, and yet there’s much more we will achieve as we bring forth intelligent automation and AI within the enterprise. By all accounts, we’re just getting started.
