Service interface
Yes
User support accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549
Description of service interface
UiPath Cloud Platform is composed of multiple independent services, such as Orchestrator, Tenant Management, Licensing Service, and others. To provide a seamless experience, we work hard to abstract these details from the end user and offer these services through a common front-end called UiPath Cloud Portal. All the services along with the Cloud Portal are packaged together as UiPath Cloud Platform and delivered via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model that’s built and hosted in Microsoft Azure. All services use core Azure services, including compute, storage, networking, SQL database, and identity and access management services.
Accessibility standards
WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549
Accessibility testing
UiPath integrates accessibility into design, develop and quality assurance processes of its dependent products. Compliance to accessibility standards are evaluated through the use of automated testing, manual validation with assistive technologies, and support form third party source.
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
From the integration perspective, for automation, Cloud Platform (SaaS) or Cloud Deployment can integrate with applications via the APIs. Orchestrator’s REST API fully programmatically supports all operations on the server-side like adding robots, processes, assets, queues and starting/ stopping/ scheduling processes. This is the standard way to integrate with external BPM or workflow tools, ERP, CRM or any other applications . Orchestrator REST API is powerful enough to integrate seamlessly with partner BPM systems or any other applications, providing 22 Custom API methods for access and control of 29 logical resources within Orchestrator (for example, Jobs, Logs, Queues, Robots and Settings). As an example of how users can use this, an external application such as a chatbot can easily trigger the robots to perform a task based on input in the chatbot.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
UiPath will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer an uptime of 99.9%. Uptime is measured per service per region. The availability of the hosted service will be communicated to the Customer on the https://status.uipath.com/ webpage or through other channels, as appropriate. SLAs are specified in the user agreement.
Approach to resilience
UiPath Automation Cloud leverages Azure resiliency natively for all components. Currently replication is only between datacenters in the geographic region (within the US or within the EU). This could be expanded based on customer requirements. Refer here for more information: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/features/resiliency/
Outage reporting
The availability of the hosted service and any incidents/outages will be communicated to the Customer on the https://status.uipath.com/ webpage. In the status.uipath.com portal, customers can sign up for notifications and alerts via their preferred communication method: email, text, ATOM, or RSS feed.

Yes
User authentication
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
  • Username or password
  • Other
Other user authentication
Bulk Provisioning of users is available via integration into common Identity providers such as Azure AD, LinkedIn, and Google. UiPath’s cloud platform allows for Single Sign On from a customer’s existing cloud identity platform including Azure Active Directory and Google Suite. Customers that leverage additional services such as Okta for example, are able to leverage an Azure Active Directory Tenant that supports SAML v2 federation to Okta to provide single sign on to the UiPath cloud platform. If the identity provider integrated (such as Google) requires two-factor authentication, the same applies when user logs in to the UiPath Cloud Platform.
Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
UiPath maintain strict control over who has access to our production environment and customer data. UiPath has a team of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who will monitor and manage production environment 24x365. The SREs will require access to the production environment only in cases of maintenance and support. UiPath support operates on the principle of least privilege and has no access to the environment unless first approved by the customer. Access to production service is provided on a "just in time" basis and revoked as soon as the situation is resolved. Access requests and approvals are tracked.
Access restriction testing frequency
At least every 6 months
Management access authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Dedicated link (for example VPN)
  • Username or password

Fighting climate change

UiPath Software is part of a Digital transformation mindset, which will improve business processes and offerings through leveraging new technologies and forms a vital part of the way we cut emissions and reduce waste. In terms of climate change, many of our UiPath Software solutions and services are delivered in conjunction with a move to cloud technology with a cloud-based model being a more energy efficient approach than traditional on premise. All UiPath Software services include a discovery phase. As part of this, we assess client data requirements. We encourage clients to actively consider minimising storage; redundant, obsolete or trivial data incurs energy costs and is counter-productive in terms of delivering on a commitment to climate change. Not only does the discovery phase focus on planning what to automate, it looks at making configuration management, development and the collaboration between employees more efficient – including energy efficient; reducing carbon footprints though unnecessary print jobs, underutilised resources and poor configuration.

Covid-19 recovery

Our UiPath Software solutions and services were instrumental in supporting clients since the impact of Covid-19 hit UK businesses in early 2020. Through our UiPath solutions and services, we continue to enable new ways of working and strengthened service resilience by automating processes that proved challenging due to a reduced workforce because of COVID-19. For some clients, our Aqua Software solutions are critical where the increased demand on personnel cannot be met by the current workforce. Critically, WM Promus provide pricing that offers substantial discounts to public sector organisations. In addition, we enable remote work; our services empower organizations to increase remote work capabilities. This promotes social distancing and reduces the risk of transmission while ensuring business continuity. Boosting Collaboration: Features like video conferencing, secure file sharing, and real-time communication tools within our services and project delivery approaches foster collaboration across dispersed teams.

Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality - WM Promus create opportunities for entrepreneurship and help new organisations to grow, tackling economic inequality, supporting economic growth and business creation. WM Promus provides free TED talks about technology advances and how they can help start-up businesses and SME’s to scale up and grow. We host these onsite (and virtually) at our serviced offices where there is a large community of SMEs. These TED talks are free to attend (either in person or virtually). For example, our TED talk “Curious about Artificial Intelligence - Will it help you or replace you?” provided answers to questions such as “What AI solutions can I use to help me in my current role?“ . The feedback on these sessions is that they significantly benefit SMEs who attend with valuable insights into AI tools (that are free) and can be leveraged for innovation and efficiency. WM Promus offer opportunities for work experience or similar activities. WM Promus provides quality secondary-school work-experience placements designed to provide students with practical, hands-on experience in the field of IT consultancy. The school with whom we engage has over two thirds of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds, over half of the pupils eligible for pupil premium, and a pupil’s attainment at entry level significantly below the national average. Our placements aim to allow students to develop technical skills, gain exposure to professional work environments, and explore potential career paths within the IT sector.

Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity - WM Promus have a robust Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Policy. The applications we resell and deliver services against are accessible to users with disabilities by incorporating features like keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility, user interface elements that cater to diverse visual needs and so on. In addition, they offer multilingual support aligned with our inclusion policy. Our diverse workforce informs training materials and support services offered alongside our solutions.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing- WM Promus promote Work-Life Balance and facilitate flexible work for employees. Our services and solutions also do this for clients through asynchronous communication tools (allowing for responses outside core working hours), mobile access for remote work and flexible schedules (thus helping client engineers achieve a better work-life balance by offering them more control over their workload and schedule). Our services and solutions also reduce work stress through automated and streamlined workflows. Automating repetitive tasks frees up users' time and reduce stress associated with manual, time-consuming processes. Our services and solution embed easy-to-use and intuitive interfaces minimizing frustration and cognitive load for users, contributing to a more positive work experience.
