Summary

UiPath RPA Platform is a robust process automation platform with many products in its portfolio. I hope you got a quick overview of the core UiPath products currently shipped as part of UiPath Platform and on-prem and cloud offerings. We used two personas from XYZ Bank and ABC Insurance Corporation in this chapter to explain the concepts so that you can relate to the idea of real-life personas.

In addition to this, you would have understood the on-prem and cloud architecture of UiPath Orchestrator. This is one of the most important concepts for any UiPath support and administrator role.

Next came the different types of Robot types and licenses offered. Having complete knowledge of Robots will give you an edge as a UiPath support professional, to provide valuable inputs during the UiPath program execution.

Finally, you learned how a typical RPA organization would be set up in a UiPath program. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is plenty of information about setup and configurations in UiPath documents; please deep-dive and learn as and when the need arises.

Now that you have a basic understanding of UiPath Platform, it’s time to get moving to the next topic. Let’s learn about the UiPath support strategy, framework, and models in the next chapter.
