RPA Professionals Unite on New UiPath Connect! Online Platform

Continuing to deliver on its mission to democratize its Robotic Process Automation (RPA) offering, UiPath unveils UiPath Connect!.

The collaborative, people-centric online platform serves as a destination for anyone in the UiPath community to connect with peers, find inspiration, share expertise, ask questions and get advice in a real-time, "real talk" social setting. Designed to create a unified social experience for its ever-growing community, UiPath Connect! offers yet another way for individual users, business, technology and community partners to exercise their curiosity and passion in the Automation-First era.

"Just like our corporate culture, we believe true disruptive innovation is best fostered through openness and exchange," said Ana Cinca, Vice President of Enabling Technologies, UiPath. "UiPath Connect! deepens our commitment to building a social community that powers and progresses not only our product roadmap but the RPA industry as a whole – and helps organizations everywhere put Automation First. All organizations benefit from RPA knowledge-sharing to accelerate the pace of automation and productivity in the workplace."
