The idea of RPA-as-glue-for-legacy-systems is something that a friend who's building a company in the RPA space had mentioned once. It made sense to me at the time in theory, but this example really helps to drive home how that plays out in practice.
- ethbr0 6y agoIt's a terrible space to build a new business in, unless you're very careful about scoping your target client. This is because it's a game of long tail compatibility. That one Java UI library from the mid-90s that one Japanese bank wrote half their systems in? Better support it! Unfortunately, that's tough to do without amortizing the development cost over a large customer base.
