A UiPath alternative that replaces the bots.
UiPath automates work that moves between systems. When the number of bots and the license that goes with them keep growing, a custom-fit system you own can take over the process itself. thinkbridge maps what the bots do, rebuilds that process in one system and retires the bots.
Signs you've outgrown UiPath
- The bot count grows every quarter, and so does the license.
- An orchestration layer is needed to schedule, monitor and fix the bots.
- Bots stop working when a screen, field or form changes in the system they drive.
- Spreadsheets and side tools still sit between the bots and the systems of record.
UiPath compared with a system you own
| UiPath | 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 UiPath
Do we have to switch off UiPath all at once?
No. The new system runs next to the bots, and each bot is switched off once the new process gives the same results on real cases.
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.
