In this white paper, we discuss the major capabilities offered by Microsoft Power Automate Desktop. Gartner defines this view as hyper-automation, namely “the idea that anything that can be automated in an organization should be automated”. Macrosoft’s commitment to RPA is consistent with the view introduced by Gartner in one of its recent analyses of the state of technology for RPA. We have other papers in this series describing Macrosoft’s initiatives in this area, including a series of case studies of some of our recent projects built using Microsoft Power Automate. We are investing heavily in the training and certification of our developers and data engineers in the full set of tools, but most especially Power Automate, of which Power Automate Desktop is one component. We hope you will find this paper a down-to-earth guide to when where and how to use Power Automate Desktop to start moving yourself and your company in the direction of complete digital automation.Īs a Microsoft Gold Partner, we are ramping up our efforts across the entire set of tools in the Microsoft Power Platform, and we will be publishing many new papers to highlight this area of our company’s expertise.

So, think of this paper as a simple learning primer on Power Automate Desktop for readers who have not yet worked with it or more generally have not yet engaged with robotic process automation. We describe the major capabilities in the tool and then show how these types of capabilities can be used in different types of process automation scenarios.
