ConnectWise is not only dedicated to enhancing its RPA capabilities, but is also prioritizing improving the user experience (UX) for bots. As part of this initiative, bots are now categorized into distinct and well-defined categories, such as User Management and PC Management. Additionally, ConnectWise has implemented visual differentiators, utilizing icons to clearly distinguish between cloud, on-premises, and endpoint bots. These efforts aim to provide users with a seamless and intuitive experience while interacting with bots.

“As MSPs continue to transition away from a distribution-driven world to one driven by marketplace subscriptions and cloud platforms, we are besieged with an abundance of information as well as user requests,” said Rick Harber, Founder & CEO of Decision Digital. “This problem can no longer be affordably solved with human horsepower. Instead, we must invest in tools that go beyond scheduled or triggered scripts. We must evolve and leverage workflows and robotic processes that automate these tasks with logic and intelligence. The introduction of ConnectWise RPA and workflow signals their intent to again be the leaders of the next great transformation in managed services. We are using them right now, and we are rewriting and streamlining processes as a result. And we are just getting started.”

At Automation Nation 2024, the stage was set for an extraordinary showcase of innovation as ConnectWise introduced an array of innovative features and functions. With an impressive lineup of 15-20 new options in ConnectWise RPA, attendees were immersed in a realm of limitless possibilities. The event also offered a unique virtual community experience through the hyperautomation subset, allowing participants to engage in interactive activities like never before.
