SAN JOSE, Calif. – July 11, 2019 – Automation Anywhere, a global leader in Robotic Process Automation Software, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has named it a Leader in Gartner’s 2019 Magic Quadrant for RPA Software.[1]
The 2019 Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation Software is Gartner’s first evaluation of vendors in the rapidly-growing robotic process automation (RPA) market. Gartner estimates that “by 2021, 90 percent of large and midsize organizations will have at least one process supported by RPA”[2].
