Welcome to Next Era of Computing through Robotic Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

There are many tools in Market and there are many new tools coming. If we restrict only tool level knowledge, then there won’t be enough opportunities as tools are evolving fast and each enterprise is adopting one tool at the most. Given these challenges, the curriculum is quite well carefully designed such as way that Freshers and senior roles can secure the place in evolving. The complete curriculum is very precisely designed to help all the levels. During the training, we are going to cover in-depth analysis on Word largest commercially deployed tool Automation Anywhere and then we will compare how it’s different to Blue Prisim, IPSOFT, WinAuto and UIPath. This knowledge helps to crack the Business Analyst role or Automation development roles. For senior roles we extensively cover how to SPOT the automation use case, how to carry out the prioritization, what is the investment we need to make, what are the Returns will get and associated business case. Etc,

Over and above, we will cover about the Artificial Intelligence. This is another evolving area where we are augmenting humans with machines. In this session, we are going to cover about how this AI work and how it’s different from traditional management tools. We will also build one chat bot and show how it works in real time. Will also cover couple of use cases

Machine learning is another capability that world is moving towards. Data is coming from every where and traditional tools won’t be able to read that at massive scale. In the session we are going to cover about the key basics on the machine learning and how it will help in demanding world.Following topics covers the Key Fundamentals then followed by the actual work
