Kodak Alaris announces global alliance with RPA software leader , UiPath
K odak Alaris has announced a global alliance with UiPath , one of the world ’ s leading Robotic Process Automation ( RPA ) software companies . The collaboration will enable both companies ’ channel partners and customers to leverage Kodak Alaris ’ award-winning information capture solutions and UiPath software to accelerate Digital Transformation by automating and streamlining business processes . The companies also introduced their integration via the Alaris Capture Pro to UiPath Orchestrator Connector , which provides a seamless connection between fully indexed , high quality images from Kodak scanners and UiPath bots .
RPA is the key to working smarter and for many organisations – in particular , those most reliant on paper-based processes – has the potential to be truly transformative when used to modernise information and data capture . The alliance between UiPath and Kodak Alaris will generate new business opportunities for system integrators and software vendors , helping them expand RPA projects and deliver intelligent scanning and information capture solutions to customers in sectors including government , financial services , logistic and healthcare .
RPA starts with usable data , which in turn starts with high quality images . Perfect Page Technology from Kodak Alaris
optimises the image quality of every page for more accurate information extraction and up to 20 % better OCR read rates , while Capture Pro Software quickly converts batches of paper into high-quality images – the foundation for accurate , streamlined data and decision-making .
“ We are delighted to announce this global alliance with UiPath , whose software is among the leading tools for building RPA robots ,” said Vanilda Grando , Director Global Sales Development , Alaris division of Kodak Alaris . “ Intelligent information capture combined with RPA is especially powerful for finance , IT and IT services , operations and information governance . The combination of Kodak Alaris scanners , software and
It ’ s not about taking people out of the loop , it ’ s about being able to reallocate them and bring them back in if needed . services , with UiPath ’ s RPA platform will enable partners to take their customers ’ information capture to the next level , making total automation and paper-free processes a business reality .”
The UiPath RPA platform automates sequences of repeatable processes , minimises disruption , uncovers efficiencies and provides insights , making the path to Digital Transformation fast and cost-effective . Once information is captured via the scanner , software robots complete repetitive , rulesbased tasks such as moving files and folders , extracting structured data from documents and executing processes with it .
“ Our two technologies complement one another ,” said George Roth , Senior Manager , Technology Alliances at UiPath . “ It ’ s not about taking people out of the loop , it ’ s about being able to reallocate them and bring them back in if needed . For example , you could set a threshold for OCR read rates at 90 %. If the RPA solution doesn ’ t meet the 90 % threshold , the bot will send it to a human for review . So , there ’ s an opportunity to really make a good humanin-the-loop partnership .” •
