ConnectWise Makes Advancements in AI and Hyperautomation Through Robotic Process Automation Enhancements

ConnectWise, a Tampa-based software company, announced that it has made significant advancements in its Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution and ConnectWise Sidekick.

The company also introduced RPA Pro and RPA Essentials, solutions for IT professionals looking to maximize efficiencies tailored to their specific business needs.

Partners can also integrate actions from external applications that support API access, enhancing interoperability.

These efforts aim to provide users with a seamless and intuitive experience while interacting with bots.
