OVERVIEW
The Kofax RPA license model is by the far the simplest approach
in the market to right-sizing a robotic process automation (RPA)
solution, and one that will allow organizations to scale their RPA
operations easily, while achieving a significant and fast ROI.
The Kofax RPA software platform licensing centers around a RPA
Robot license, where the Kofax RPA Robot license controls how
many robots can execute on a Kofax RPA RoboServer at one
time concurrently. For example, if an organization is licensed for
five Kofax RPA Robots, then five robots can be executed
concurrently. You can think of a Kofax RPA Robot license as a
hired digital worker, and how many of those digital workers you
need is determined by the type task being automated, how long
a task takes for a robot to complete, and the amount of work the
digital worker needs to complete within a given timeframe.
There is no limit to the number of robots that can be designed
and deployed into production, and robots can be as simple or
complex as they need to be. For example, a robot can consist of a
few or many steps that execute a set of business workflow
actions, such as inputting and outputting data, transforming
data, writing data to an Excel worksheet or calling a RESTful
Service API.
Kofax RPA licensing is available as a perpetual or annual term
license. Kofax RPA licensing is independent of the target
hardware environment and physical CPUs, and a robot license is
not tied to a physical desktop or virtual machine like some RPA
vendor licenses, allowing you the flexibility to choose cloud-
based or on-premise, virtualized or physical CPU environments.
ADVANTAGES OF THE KOFAX RPA MODEL
The Kofax RPA concurrent license model has many benefits,
including allowing organizations to design and deploy as many
robots as they would like. The Kofax RPA Robot licensing simply
controls how many robots can execute concurrently but does
not restrict robots from running once a license is available. In
fact, Kofax RPA has many administrative controls that give
administrators the flexibility of scheduling when robots run,
assigning robots to run on specific servers where a license(s) is
designated for those high priority robots.
While not necessarily tied to the RPA licensing, extra
infrastructure costs should be a consideration when evaluating
the entire cost of the project. For many RPA vendor’s products,
their architecture requires robots to access a desktop, virtual or
physical, when executing all types of robots. The Kofax RPA
architecture minimizes its virtual desktop infrastructure footprint
by providing a centralized server model that allows web and
mainframe robots to execute without ever connecting to a
desktop. In the case of enterprise applications like SAP, Kofax
RPA robots execute on the server and communicate
bi-directionally with the application on a virtual desktop via an
automation service that resides on the desktop.
