Intelligent Automation is not just the future of how we work — it’s helping businesses become more cost-effective and efficient by reducing reliance on human interactions and data-intensive workflow processes today. Across industries worldwide, more companies are fully transforming their businesses with the help of Intelligent Automation platforms. As AI (Artificial Intelligence) and other machine learning tools continue to mature and find a niche within business, opportunities for change continue to expand. Tungsten Automation suite of products exists at the forefront of this transformation today, from our Intelligent Automation platform for enterprise businesses down to rethinking how organizations manage digital documents.

Achieving speed is a key challenge in the realm of automation. Doing things right matters — but achieving process improvements and empowering your teams to be more productive should happen as soon as possible. At Tungsten Automation, part of our mission is to enable our customers to achieve those out-comes, finding both quick wins and long-term opportunities for allowing automation to reshape the way you work.

Developing solutions from the first line of code is often too time-consuming and too complex for even a large corporation to undertake efficiently. Instead, embracing the right platform for Intelligent Automation is the first step. We have taken the next step towards helping our customers automate effectively, too: with a digital Marketplace filled with pre-built apps, connectors and frameworks ready to integrate into your Tungsten Automation deployments, along with free templates and best practice guides to help you maximize your ROI faster.

Let us look at how these solutions continue to push business capabilities forward and explore how the innovative Marketplace can help your team start finding solutions to your business problems today.

What's inside Tungsten Intelligent Automation?

Before delving into the Marketplace and everything you can find there, let us quickly cover some of the latest advancements and capabilities available with Intelligent Automation.

• Robotic process automation. From extracting data from a system for display to moving information between systems and carrying out repetitive tasks, RPA is a fundamental element of automation today. Tungsten Automation RPA tools are versatile and built to be easy to integrate across many industry verticals, whether in healthcare, financial services, government, or supply chain.
• Cognitive capture technology. Using the power of machine learning and document intelligence, deploy systems that make data processing simpler and faster. Automatically recognize forms and documents, extract information from their fields, and input them directly into key systems for integrated, de-siloed data sharing.
• Advanced process orchestration. Orchestrate better business processes by unifying work between people, robots and software. Go beyond the basics of automation with these tools and start to re-shape entire business processes from end to end. Gain enhanced visibility into how every process works and discover insights into unseen bottlenecks and slowdowns.
• Deep data analytics. What kinds of stories does your business in-formation have to tell? Process your business intelligence, generate reports, stake out possible routes of action and deliver key insights to your partners.
• Flexibility for a mobile world. Integrate every technology in your business under one umbrella, from e-signing solutions to MFD administration, biometrics and more.

As you build your investment in this space and deploy more tools, you may recognize a need to connect some elements for a specific workflow. You might see a problem and wonder if anyone else has ever worked through the same issue, or you might know how to speed up a process. These are normal steps along the road to automation — and the Tungsten Automation Marketplace should be the first place you look for help.

What is the Tungsten Marketplace?

The Tungsten  Marketplace is a digital ecosystem for the exchange of purpose-built solutions, apps and connectors. In other words, think of it as an "app store" — a place where you can find solutions that solve business problems and extend Tungsten Automation products. There are some tasks that many different businesses might need to perform or integrations between multiple applications or platforms that could yield value. Our goal with the Marketplace was to provide a central exchange for this work.

Automation can bring incredible value and numerous benefits to organizations that leverage its power intelligently. However, companies must avoid wasting time on "reinventing the wheel." Even with low and no-code environments such as those found within Tungsten Automation RPA, building a new solution always takes time, energy and cash.

Determining the best way to budget the resources available to your organization means knowing how to craft an automation journey that makes sense for your goals. If you could focus development hours on a solution that adapts to a niche, in-house use case rather than on a more basic software robot, shouldn't you? This question gets to the heart of the Tungsten Automation Marketplace and its purpose: saving time and enabling intelligent, collaborative automation.

In the Marketplace, you can explore assets partners have created as part of their journeys before contributing the work for the benefit of all. Search for your solution, find what you need, and enjoy rapid deployment within the Tungsten Automation software that you want to modify or extend.

More than just a resource for automation assets, the Marketplace is also a place for exchanging ideas and learning. Here, you can access support products created by automation experts to guide you through common problems or projects and the ideal way of approaching them. With more than 650 business partners representing tens of thousands of customers worldwide, there is always something new in the Marketplace, too.

The benefits of a centralized solution for finding new tools

Why dedicate time to exploring the Marketplace and what it offers? There are six key reasons to make this digital space a prime destination for your teams tasked with automation.

• Save time. As mentioned, reinventing the same solution someone else has already innovated is rarely the right move—most use cases in these situations are not so unique between businesses that a custom asset is necessary every time. The Marketplace lets you benefit from the time others have already invested.
• Find solutions ready-made for your business problems. Go into the Marketplace with a clear idea of the type of asset you need, whether it is a robot to log in to a website and download data or a connector between programs. When you do, you can quickly pin-point assets that address your specific need.
• Uncover ideas and approaches you had not considered before. Even when you do not have a clear sense of what you need next, the Marketplace offers an excellent opportunity to do some "Window Shopping." See problems from a new perspective and make unexpected discoveries that can lead to the next big jump forward in your automation journey.
• Extract more value from your existing investment. Inside the Marketplace, connectors, robots and other assets all provide opportunities for you to expand the reach and impact of your Tungsten Automation applications. Enhance and upgrade your capabilities without exploring a new software stack or an additional licensing arrangement.
• Reduce the amount of time it takes to achieve automation milestones. With the power to rapidly deploy these solutions owing to their close integration with all the elements of our Intelligent Automation platform, you can achieve critical agility within your market space.
• Prepare your business for its next growth stage. Does your team need to respond to the challenges of scale quickly and capably? Find the resources you need in the Marketplace and be ready to capitalize on growth opportunities when they arise.

Bringing these benefits to bear for all our customers was a key reason we developed and continue to support the Marketplace.

What types of assets can you find?

We aimed to create the Marketplace as a space where it would be easy for users to find anything they might need in one location where searching is simple. That aim also drove us to support multiple asset classes. What can you find here?

• Connectors. Link up Tungsten Automation products with other software, make connections between systems, and extend your ability to stream-line key elements of every process.
• Robots. Skip the process of building new software robots from the ground up when you can quickly find RPA frameworks to slot into your existing deployment. Find task-specific robots and enjoy rapid results.
