An Automation Anywhere alternative built around your process.
Automation Anywhere bots keep a process running across tools that do not talk to each other. thinkbridge builds one system around the process itself, so the tools that needed the bots are no longer in the way.
Signs you've outgrown Automation Anywhere
- Each new workflow needs another bot and another license line.
- Someone spends part of every week fixing bots that stopped.
- The bots speed up a process that nobody redesigned.
- Data still moves through exported files and manual checks between systems.
Automation Anywhere compared with a system you own
| Automation Anywhere | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What it automates | Steps people take across screens and systems, bot by bot | The whole process, as rules and workflows in one system |
| Who owns it | You license it; the vendor owns the platform | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| How you pay | Licenses by bot, workflow or user, plus the effort to build and run them | Priced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term |
| When something changes | A bot can stop working when a screen or field it depends on changes | The system and its rules change together; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |
| AI | Added on top of the bots | Built into the workflows from the start |
How the move works
- ObserveWe watch how the work runs today, including the workarounds.
- Model and buildThe system is modeled on your process and generated with
think One - Migrate and validateYour data moves over and your team tests it on real cases.
- Go liveIn about four months.
The four stages are a short version of the six-step method (see how it works). For what gets built, see RPA replacement and consolidation.
Questions about moving off Automation Anywhere
Can some bots stay while we move?
Yes. Bots that still do useful work can stay until the process they cover has moved into the new system. thinkbridge plans the order with your team.
What happens to the processes our bots run today?
thinkbridge maps what each bot does and which systems it touches, removes the steps that only existed to work around a system, and rebuilds the rest as rules and workflows in the new system.
How long does replacing the bots take?
About four months from kickoff to go-live.
