if it's just scraping data: why don't hook it directly into the DB then?

if it's just scraping data: why don't hook it directly into the DB then?
- ajcp 5y agoWere it an internally owned application that's a legitimate course, but more often than not it's to grab data from third-party provider applications where DB is not an option, i.e. banking sites
- fock 5y agook, but normally banking has established protocols? If this is the main use-case of RPA-startups, Microsoft does not compete in any way. I don't see a lot of reasons (name one for me) for a legitimate business to pay an RPA-startup over the bank for automated data acquisition. Another use-case could be the cloud probably – like scraping your salesforce apps. And this is just .... sad?
- Mandatum 5y agoYour assumption of "normally banking has established protocols" is wrong
