- Hi everyone. (upbeat music)
Working?
Hello, I'm Claudia.
And I am with UiPath,
the Enabling Technologies team.
Not sure how many of you have heard of us.
We are the...
This is probably going to be the
least technical presentation you will see today. (chuckles)
So, basically, what we're aiming to do
at Enabling Technologies is to
create an ecosystem of platforms and technologies
that are customer and partner-focused.
We want to boost the global adoption
of UiPath through all of these platforms
that we are creating.
Most of them come from simple ideas, really.
And many of the ideas that we've had
were actually inspired by you, by yourselves.
I think I've heard someone a couple of days ago
saying that this generation of RPAs,
actually the RPA pioneers,
which I quite like.
It sounded nice. (chuckles)
I'm gonna give you a few examples
of the platforms and technologies we've created so far,
and what we're going for next.
So we've started with the Academy back in 2017.
I'm just gonna hold this like this,
because I can't hear myself well.
So back in 2017 we started with the Academy
which was honestly just an idea in the beginning
on a late evening,
as it happens quite often in UiPath.
A lot of people were talking life and RPA at the same time.
So questions like how can we make RPA
famous in the world?
How can we get more RPA developers?
How do we actually tell the world about RPA?
And, obviously, at some point, someone said,
well why don't we actually train them ourselves?
Why don't we just make our own RPA developers?
And that's pretty much how it started,
and that's how we ended up with all those
amazing online courses that you can find on the Academy now.
Obviously, the next logical step for that
was to give these people a space.
A space to voice their opinions,
to ask questions,
to share their knowledge, why not.
And that's when the forum came in place.
You're gonna hear a bit more about that later.
The next one was UiPath Go,
which I'm not gonna say too much about it right now,
but I will in a couple of minutes.
UiPath Go came as our approach to crowd-source innovation.
It's an RPA marketplace,
and it's amazing,
and I am particularly proud of it.
You're also going to hear today
for the first time if I'm not mistaken,
about UiPath Connect,
which is the...
How should I say,
the coolest and newest kid around the block.
My colleague Ioana will give you a
few more details about that in a few minutes.
And yeah, there's a loading icon there as well,
and that is because as I mentioned earlier,
we are trying to create all of these platforms
and technologies,
and enhance the UiPath product.
And we have a lot of ideas.
And some of them are still in an idea phase.
Others we've started implementing,
and others are actually projects we're working on,
and we will be more than happy to tell you about them
as they come along.
So I mentioned earlier crowd-source innovation.
I'm gonna, I threw it in there as a question.
Feel free to answer,
but basically, how many times did you try to
ultimate something,
and you kind of thought it would be easy,
but it turned out to be relatively tricky
or trickier than you thought?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
I've heard a lot of people saying that,
so I thought it would be a good question. (chuckles)
Also, would it be really, really nice
if you could manage your feed directly from studio?
Yeah? (chuckles)
Feel free to speak.
I mean, I like the nodding,
but, you know. (chuckles)
Cool. Another one would be,
if you actually created feasible components yourselves?
Yeah? Can I see a few people that have done that?
Okay.
Was that easy?
Depends on the project, okay.
Ever try to reinvent the wheel?
Why not exactly?
But my favorite is, ultimately,
who wants to work less and ultimate more?
Everyone, right?
I mean, I do.
I'm not that real ultimation as you are,
but I definitely can appreciate it.
And that's how the idea of UiPath Go came.
I'm gonna throw it out there.
It's only been launched about three months and a half now.
Who has used UiPath Go?
Okay, that's good.
Do you have accounts on UiPath Go?
Awesome.
Well I would be surprised if you didn't,
because the RPA commute in India
has actually been one of our earliest adopters
of UiPath Go.
We have a lot of accounts.
We have a lot of your colleagues here today that
have been very, very good supporters.
I'm thinking, let me show you a couple of things.
So this is pretty much how we're doing so far.
We've had a lot of visitors,
over 30K visitors,
and our components are growing every day.
I know some of you have...
Give me, sorry.
Okay, yeah.
I'm gonna go with this,
because I really wanted to show you this.
As I said earlier, in India,
we've had most of our users.
And I'm going to show you a few examples
from UiPath Go of actual components.
These are actually made by UiPath.
You can find those sorts of product integrations.
The sales force one we're particularly proud of,
it's quite new,
and it's probably just the beginning of a really,
really cool project.
We also have the GSuite integration,
which if you work with Google Cloud,
try it out.
It's gonna make your life a whole lot easier.
We've had also a few
quite a few partners and customers join us in UiPath,
and if in case you're wondering why I chose these two,
it's basically cause Roboyo has been
the first partner to join us on UiPath.
They helped us a lot during launch as well.
A lot of content, a lot of good content,
a lot of feedback which was great,
and our latest addition was ScyFIX,
which I think they joined about three weeks ago,
and they already have about seven components already.
Which would be now,
we've been real lucky to work with them.
I don't know if you know this cool guy,
but he has been, I'm not gonna say the first,
because I don't actually know if that's true.
But he has been a very good supporter of UiPath Go.
Probably one of the earliest adopters,
and he's actually from here,
and I wanted you guys to see what one of your colleagues,
how active he can be on Go.
Basically the idea of UiPath Go is as I said,
it's an RPA marketplace.
And it is really just the beginning,
so we do appreciate all the feedback you have for us,
and we want to enhance it in a way that it helps everyone.
And I do believe it's...
I personally call it the ultimate marketplace,
because it actually has something for everyone.
Whether you are an individual or a community business,
the platform has all of the platforms' features
are available to you.
You can use it any way you want.
You can upload your own components,
you can download them.
Basically you can create your portfolio,
and place it on UiPath Go.
If you are a company or already a UiPath partner,
that actually makes it so much easier.
You can find other companies with similar...
With similar approaches to RPA.
Okay, cool.
You can get inspired from other RPA developers.
The best you...
My personal perspective is I really encourage everyone
using UiPath Go give it a try.
Download a component.
If you like it,
leave a review.
If you don't like it,
leave a review.
Or ask a question.
Update your profile and really show the world
how you want to be a presence in the RPA world,
and how you want to show everyone your ideas of innovation
and collaboration ultimately.
I will be available for questions later on,
but right now I'm going to introduce to you
my colleague Ioana,
who will give you a few more insights
about what we do at Enabling Technologies.
Thank you.
(applause)
- You guys hear me well?
Yes.
I'm very happy to be here today.
And I will talk to you a bit about
UiPath Community Reinvented.
In an era of exerted information,
we decided that,
actually we realized,
that we need a more people-centric approach.
Therefore, we are building all these platforms
for you guys,
and, especially, we will launch very soon Connect.
But I will show you in a few minutes.
Where are we right now with the community?
Well, as you see in the numbers,
we've grown them very much in the last two years.
Do you guys know where we were two years ago
with all these platforms?
No? Yeah.
We were just starting two years ago,
and now, we've had a tremendous growth.
And during this very short timeframe,
a few outliers,
some tech gurus have emerged.
They are our first UiPath MVPs,
UiPath Most Valuable Professionals.
And they helped greatly our UiPath community,
and we like to thank them very much
for all their achievements,
and some of them are actually here today at this event.
Just look carefully around and you will see them.
And let's keep in mind that you too can become
a UiPath MVP.
Throughout the history of humankind,
communities have been the number one enabler
of all evolutions.
Communities been together people that share the same values,
same fashion,
same beliefs,
like you here today.
So we all feel the need to be connected,
because together we are better.
After the big revolutions,
and the latest one with internet,
we've seen the communities expanding and growing
faster and more wider across the globe.
But however, all this development in technology
have only made social skills more relevant
for our day-to-day jobs.
Now I want to get to know you guys better,
so we can form a bigger community.
So I have a few questions for you.
How many of you completed Academy Foundation Training?
Just raise a hand.
Quite a lot of guys.
Yeah. I expected that.
Then I think, oh that's weird.
Then how many of you completed the
Academy Advanced Training?
Raise a hand.
Quite a lot.
That's good.
How many of you know Salman Khan?
Just raise a hand. (chuckles)
I'm just kidding.
He's pretty famous in Romania, though.
How many of you checked for at least once?
Raise a hand.
And oh, is this not working?
Can you?
Yeah.
How many of you like playing games?
A few?
Okay.
And how many of you would like to have all your
activity within UiPath Community Ecosystem in one place?
Would you like that?
All your trainings,
all your activity on Forum,
in one page?
Yeah?
You want it?
Then we have it. (chuckles)
We will launch it very soon.
This is Connect social platform.
Either you are an individual or a company,
you will be able to showcase here,
all your work and achievements.
Depending on what your activity on Academy and on Forum,
you will be awarded with points, with badges.
And everybody in the community will have a rank.
You could be either a Robot Explorer,
Robot Cadet,
you can even get through Robot Titan.
And why not?
In the meantime,
even get it worded as a UiPath MVP.
If you already have an account on Go,
then very soon your account will be upgraded
with all these new features.
Also on Connect social platform,
you will be able to innovate by creating projects,
and you will collaborate if you wish,
with other community members.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Connect very soon.
And just to put it in simple words,
we want UiPath Community Ecosystem
to be useful for all its users,
for all its members.
We want all our platforms that we also mentioned earlier
to be open and available for all of you.
We, just feel free to innovate there,
be authentic,
and last but not least,
please have fun while using all these resources.
We thank you very much, shukriya,
and if you have questions,
me and Claudia are available after the session.
Thank you. Shukriya.
