That's interesting as I figured Kofax would be an operation that would really nail RPA and then move on to providing a very robust API middleware solution, given Kofax's bread-and-butter is literally addressing use-cases that take

I agree. I think that's also true of all the cloud players these days honestly.

I can see that. I think you're best bet is to throw that BotFramework out. I'm not sure why they keep it around, but they've all but replaced it with Power Virtual Agents.

I think you're right and I may be a little too hard on the RPA vendors here. I wouldn't put it past UIPath or one of the smaller vendors being able to expand what they consider "RPA" into competing directly with what wou

It very well could be. I think where MSFT gets mixed up is that they are obsessed with their products being able to solve *everyone's* use-case. Which means if they're talking to the business then it's a friendly "Low-Co

100% agree. The real value of these RPA solutions is their orchestration capabilities, but that's not how they sell it. They will start bleeding customers as those systems they're automating are replaced with those that provide mo

Coming up in the time when MSFT was the "big evil" it's almost depressing to see myself now as an actual fan-boy.

Couldn't agree more. By providing tools that allow you to "reach in" to every part of their ecosystem, from their OS to their productivity suites to their cloud offerings, they're creating a very comfy lock-in that would

I think this article misses the mark of the actual move Microsoft is making here, but I think MSFT also gets their own messaging wrong. Microsoft's "Low-Code" strategy is not RPA, nor is it enabling the development of enterpr

I'm not sure this article does a good job of highlighting "the problem with reinforced concrete" than it does "the better attributes of material x with y over concrete". Reinforced concrete seems to do exactly what

I remember when this became a "thing" again after 2003-onward when animosity toward the US was running high. I travelled around Europe, the Middle East, and Africa pretty extensively then, staying in hostels or using Couch Surfing

I'm not assuming this actor must be doing this intentionally *because* these are a lot of stupid things, nor that it is indictive of the average, malicious Tor node operator. I'm arguing the opposite. Not only did an actor commit

The almost willful lack of tradecraft, scale of deployments, small time-frames, and "loudness" of action the highlighted entity displays, combined with the technical knowledge required to take part in this narrow space, suggests t

I agree it does come off as extreme, but I can understand the desire to provide society with some reasonable expectation of privacy in a public space when someone might no longer be able to consent to being in public. Sure, it's part o

Oh yes, there is no doubt there is monetary incentive to utilize credit cards for the business, and perhaps tools that can help integrate them. My take is that at an Enterprise level your calculation should be more toward business continuit

I agree. If you're at the scale where you require an Enterprise solution, you should also have some level of finance department that knows how to handle purchase orders, invoices, and ledgers of account. This enables transparent vendor

Yes, sorry, it's a tricky concept to port over as the material says that 66% of the participants provided inaccurate inputs. So not accounting for an individuals verisimilitude it would be more accurate to say that roughly 66% of entri
