As we learned in Chapter 1, Getting Started with RPA, Automation Anywhere is another RPA tool that is widely used. We will use the Automation Anywhere A2019 community edition for our projects in this book.
A2019 has a web-based control room to develop and deploy bots, as mentioned earlier. So, we will mostly be working out of a browser, unlike the local windows client we used with UiPath.
We covered the control room and its features in Chapter 1, Getting Started with RPA. We also showed you how to register and set up A2019. If you have not set up A2019 yet, now is a good time to do so before we start the RPA challenge with Automation Anywhere.
Once you are all set up, we can get started with some Automation Anywhere A2019 projects.
