In July this year, Microsoft announced its lead in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation, and this has happened for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a leader in Gartner\u2019s Magic Quadrant means more companies have adopted the platform and the momentum is to remain sustainable in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power automate new features are just worth it…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free tool has robust data management policies<\/strong> to let organizations control the way their processes are automated (see Data Loss Prevention DLP for desktop flows<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, in Q1 2022, Microsoft Build included a tremendous feature in Power Automate that lets organizations host unattended RPA bots at scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using this SaaS feature, hosted RPA bots<\/strong>, once created by an organization, are auto-scaled and fully managed by Power Automate on the Azure virtual machines without needing any Azure subscription<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such splendid features, making automation an easy thing for enterprises, what does the technology hold for those seeking an RPA career?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
