Alteryx UiPath Brief 1A LT E R Y X U I P A T H :Accelerating Outcomes withAnalytic Process Automation (APA)& Robotic Process Automation (RPA)Transform your insightsand your organizationwith APA RPA.As organizations continue to digitally transform business processes by adopting andembedding modern technology into their operations, they are seeing unprecedentedgains in efficiency and cost savings. But for a long time, these efficiency gains havebeen reserved for the most digitally-advanced companies.Business processes relying on manual handoffs and legacy technologies lackautomation capabilities, inhibiting digital transformation and leaving organizationswith a continued reliance on manual, costly solutions laden with risk.Whether it’s a team of people performing manual tasks to collect, input, or routedata to another part of the organization or working with a siloed system that containsmission-critical information, the effort to find meaningful insights can look herculeanwhen contrasted to the seamlessly connected ecosystem of modern analytics andprocess automation technology.P R OV E NO R G A N I Z AT I O N A LI M PA C T S O F A PA R PA :1.

This data rests within legacy systemsthat don’t have APIs, websites, or even documents. This is where robotic processautomation (RPA) becomes irreplaceable.RPAWith the UiPath Platform, automation specialists can emulate the actions of ahuman interacting with software to capture, manipulate, store, and send datathrough a digital system. UiPath enables organizations to build robots thatcommunicate with enterprise systems, including Alteryx.Where many software programs and platforms require custom connectors orsoftware developers to write complex code that few can understand, UiPath RPA issoftware agnostic and can natively connect to nearly any digital system. Users canbuild robots through a modern interface to connect otherwise disconnected systems.This extends the life of legacy technology within an organization — even when suchtechnology is not able to integrate with more modern counterparts.APA RPAWith the power of UiPath RPA and Alteryx APA, robots can capture data fromthese legacy systems. The resulting dataset can be used to trigger the start of anAlteryx workflow, taking it through an automated analytics journey for cleansing,transformation, joining, modeling, analyzing, and more.The resulting insights, actions, and time-savings are nothing short of gamechanging.Organizations with a more mature data and analytics infrastructure can also usedata pulled from UiPath robots to develop predictive and prescriptive outcomes.The data can be extracted from various point solutions and delivered to predictive,machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and other advancedmodels to inform on risk, inventory, and customer sentiment. UiPath robots canalso be used for “the last mile” of automation, inputting analytics outcomes intooperational systems for action.Essentially, organizations can achieve end-to-end connectivity and alignmentacross departments in a way not possible before. The below diagram depicts howthis plays out.VI S I T T H E R PA D I S T R I C TI N A LT E R Y X G A L L E R YAlteryx UiPath Solution Brief 2

If theydo, then APA is likely the solution for that process. For unattended processes that donot require human intuition, RPA should be used for automated input and output ofanalytical processes.After this determination has been made, keep these platform capabilities in mind tohelp craft the right solution:A N A LY T I C P R O C E S SAUT O M AT I O N ( A PA )ROBOTIC PROCESSAUT O M AT I O N ( R PA )Automates data ingestion from structured and semistructured files, databases, and APIsAutomates human interactions with nearly any digitalsystem (greenscreen tech, forms, folders, files, enterprisesoftware systems, cloud systems, etc.)Drag-and-drop analytic building blocks to wrangle,prepare, profile, explore, cleanse, transform, and blenddata for analytic outcomesSaves, moves, and copies files to feed and pull fromanalytic processesRich self-service analytic modeling includingdescriptive, diagnostic, and spatial analyticsRun user-defined scripts, programs, and storedprocedures regardless of where they reside within anorganization’s technology infrastructureAdvanced analytic modeling including predictive,prescriptive, natural language processing, text mining,and sentiment analysis“Last mile” for machine learning and advanced analytics.Robots can act upon analytic outcomes and update thesystems that rely on those resultsScalable analytic apps to enable organization toparameterize and run analytic models as neededInputs data into non-API sources such as online forms,VDIs, and legacy systemsAutomated output of analytic outcomes to datavisualization tools, BI tools, files, databases, APIs, andRPA botsRun reports, extract and inject results into a wide array offile types including Microsoft Excel and CSVVI S I T T H E R PA D I S T R I C TI N A LT E R Y X G A L L E R YAlteryx UiPath Solution Brief 3

APA & RPA for Your IndustryAPA & RPA can work in every industry, but below are two snapshots of commonindustries to help you visualize how APA RPA plays out in real life.TAX AND FINANCEUse CasesA PA Automate data extraction fromconnectable sources (API,database, cloud/hybrid or sourcefed through RPA bot) Prep & blend tax and financedataA LT E R YXP L AT F O R M S Y S T E MREQUIREMENTSFor a complete list of systemrequirements and supported datasources, visit:www.alteryx.com/platform Perform advanced taxcalculations, including predictiveinsights for future liabilities,accurate forecasts, andactionable next stepsR PA Access ERP systems and exportbalances Login and retrieve exports fromfinance systems Retrieve and validate accountswith previous tax periods Reconcile cross-departmentaltransactions Retrieve outputs from APA andupload into appropriate systemsOutcomes and BenefitsWhen tax departments successfully leverage the Alteryx APA Platform andthe UiPath Platform, they can automate previously manual processes with theassurance that hard-to-reach data sources are seamlessly connected to theanalytic processes that perform the calculations and analysis.UiPath robots automate the tedium of logging into websites and housing taxforms or financial records. They also input the criterion of the data they want toretrieve and then save the results to a data management or file storage system.An Alteryx analytic model is then triggered to pick up those results, prepare andanalyze them to whatever end system necessary, and then deposit the results foranother UiPath robot to pick them up and deliver them to their final source.Rather than devoting valuable human time, reasoning, and intuitionto simple tasks, such as high-volume, repetitive interactions with alegacy (but still critical) system, organizations can redeploy that humanattention to more complex, value-added tasks that lead to transformationaloutcomes. Human intervention and corresponding errors are eliminated fromthe process.VI S I T T H E R PA D I S T R I C TI N A LT E R Y X G A L L E R YAlteryx UiPath Solution Brief 4
