With strong connectivity integral to process automation deployment success, NICE introduces the universal connectivity layer in Robotic Automation 6.7 to support integration with any application as well as the deployment of multiple process automations from a single platform.

Connectivity Enhancements

The innovative new release combines NICE’s leading object-based connectivity with a new layer of surface-based intelligence, an advanced AI-based algorithm known as Shape Analysis technology. This combination has created a universal connectivity breakthrough, assuring robust support for every RPA deployment by integrating with any application and virtual Citrix environment.

Expanded Framework Capabilities and Security Upgrades

In addition to this latest connectivity innovation, NICE Robotic Automation 6.7 forms an intrinsic part of expanding the automation division’s cognitive technology and AI framework. In Robotic Automation 6.7, this is also reflected in the growing built-in capabilities of NICE robots to execute chatbot requests in real-time. Similarly, an intelligent scheduling engine now enables the user to better manage the virtual workforce’s time, as part of advanced monitoring and control capabilities. Security in the latest Robotic Automation release has also been enhanced, with unique password control capabilities and user-specific permission settings, meeting the strictest enterprise-level standards. A fresh design of the NICE Robotic Automation control room’s user interface makes all the current upgrades and standard operations easier to use and more aesthetically clear.
