Open Company Unveils Major Update Tools for BizRobo! RPA Software

Open Company Launches Version Upgrade Tools for BizRobo!

Open Company, a subsidiary of Open Group based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its version upgrade tools and upgrade checker for its popular RPA tool, BizRobo!. This move aims to simplify the upgrade process for the software, giving users a more seamless experience.

Background on Upgrade Tools

When upgrading BizRobo! from one version to another (for example, from v10.7 to v11.5), users must consider a set of 13 specific points that need to be addressed. Going through these points one by one can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially for users dealing with unskilled personnel or a large number of robotic files. The existing process often creates delays due to the diverse circumstances and readiness of users.

In response, Open Company has introduced these tools free of charge to ensure all users can upgrade to the latest version without encountering excessive hurdles.

Overview of New Tools

The newly released upgrade tool automates the modifications required for four out of the mentioned points related to the basic engine robotic files. This allows users to delegate necessary updates to the robotic software, significantly speeding up the process.

The upgrade checker, on the other hand, facilitates the upload of relevant MC (Management Console) files and Kapplets backup files through a special form. Once uploaded, the tool will display a comprehensive list in the browser detailing the scope of the upgrade's impact and specific points requiring user verification. This minimizes the need for users to manually check through information.

Demonstrated Effects of the New Tools

Preliminary results have shown significant efficiency gains. For instance, using the upgrade tool on around 500 robotic systems reduced the time for modifying robotic files from an estimated 41.7 hours (calculated at 5 minutes per robot) to approximately just 90 seconds. Similarly, using the upgrade checker has demonstrated a reduction in manual tasks by around 99%.

How to Access the Upgrade Tools

Both the version upgrade tool and checker are available free of charge on the user-exclusive site “My BizRobo!” for all BizRobo! users. This accessibility allows anyone with an account to download and utilize these tools without any cost.

Open Company is not only focusing on RPA but is also enhancing its capabilities to link with generative AI and orchestrate business processes to meet the increasing demand for advanced automation. The aim is to minimize the maintenance workload on RPA, allowing users to innovate their business processes at a faster pace while ensuring ongoing product evolution and support enhancements.
