Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs
Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Provides better ecosystem control and duplication control but have duplication issue
The initial setup is complex. During deployment, we identify the assets we want to include and the site, among other details. We ensure everything is translated into a common language using a CML-type discussion, allowing consistency across all elements. We aim to standardize everything by using JSON as our common input format. We are deploying existing features, so most of the work is straightforward. We do need some developers, particularly ServiceNow developers, to be involved. However, there isn't a lot of additional work required. We need some licensing from ServiceNow to enable these feature sets, but there aren't many other requirements.
