ServiceNow<\/a> became the latest company to take the robotic process automation (RPA) plunge when it announced it was acquiring Intellibot, an RPA startup based in Hyderabad, India. The companies did not reveal the purchase price.<\/p>\n

The purchase comes at a time where companies are looking to automate workflows across the organization. RPA provides a way to automate a set of legacy processes, which often involve humans dealing with mundane repetitive work.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes on the heels of the company\u2019s no-code workflow announcements<\/a> earlier this month and is part of the company\u2019s broader workflow strategy, according to Josh Kahn, SVP of Creator Workflow Products at ServiceNow.<\/p>\n

\u201cRPA enhances ServiceNow\u2019s current automation capabilities including low code tools, workflow, playbooks, integrations with over 150 out of the box connectors, machine learning, process mining and predictive analytics,\u201d Kahn explained. He says that the company can now bring RPA natively to the platform with this acquisition, yet still use RPA bots from other vendors if that\u2019s what the customer requires.<\/p>\n

\u201cServiceNow customers can build workflows that incorporate bots from the pure play RPA vendors such as Automation Anywhere, UiPath and Blue Prism, and we will continue to partner with those companies. There will be many instances where customers want to use our native RPA capabilities alongside those from our partners as they build intelligent, end-to-end automation workflows on the Now Platform,\u201d Kahn explained.<\/p>\n

The company is making this purchase as other enterprise vendors enter the RPA market. SAP announced a new RPA<\/a> tool at the end of December and acquired process automation startup Signavio<\/a> in January. Meanwhile Microsoft announced a free RPA tool<\/a> earlier this month, as the space is clearly getting the attention of these larger vendors.<\/p>\n

ServiceNow has been on a buying spree over the last year or so buying five companies including Element AI<\/a>, Loom Systems<\/a>, Passage AI<\/a> and Sweagle<\/a>. Kahn says the acquisitions are all in the service of helping companies create automation across the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we bring all of these technologies into the Now Platform, we will accelerate our ability to automate more and more sophisticated use cases. Things like better handling of unstructured data from documents such as written forms, emails and PDFs, and more resilient automations such as larger data sets and non-routine tasks,\u201d Kahn said.<\/p>\n

Intellibot was founded in 2015 and will provide the added bonus of giving ServiceNow a stronger foothold in India. The companies expect to close the deal no later than June.<\/p>\n
