RPA Migration
Why migrate from UiPath to Microsoft Power Platform?
There are several reasons for considering RPA migration, including:
- Huge savings from the annually recurring software subscription costs given that Power Automate capabilities are already bundled in your existing Microsoft subscriptions such as M365, and that Power Automate for desktop entitlements come with your Windows license.
- Power Automate integrates seamlessly and securely with the various Microsoft products that many of your users are already familiar with, including Office, Teams and SharePoint. Given that many companies are already part of the Microsoft ecosystem, migrating to Power Automate is an easy choice.
- Power Automate is the only RPA platform that enables automation at scale for your entire organization. Every employee can becoming a citizen developer without the need to incur punitive subscription fees that is based on the number of named users.
- Reduced reliance on a single RPA vendor by adopting a multi-vendor strategy or best-of-breed solution.
It is important to note that migrating from UiPath to Microsoft Power Automate does not result in impaired RPA capabilities and performance. According to the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation, both UiPath and Microsoft are rated as leaders in this space.
