Robotic Process Automation Pricing Plans for CFOs

CFOs overseeing robotic process automation projects have been tightening budgets. When evaluating ROI, they weigh the costs to automate processes, but they’re not only focusing on the numbers.  

Toptal pointed out in a recent article that the role of the CFO has changed. Ten years ago, the focus was on reporting, records, and compliance. Now, operational strategy, influenced by lean finances, is prompting CFOs to adopt a multi-vendor approach for RPA projects.  

This article covers the enterprise RPA+ tools available on OpenBots and the costs of each plan. Our pricing plans will help CFOs understand the investment they can expect to develop a solid RPA strategy. It’s simple and straightforward, as it should be.

Robotic Process Automation Enterprise Tools  

Two important questions for CFOs to answer are (1) what processes you want to automate and (2) what tools you will need to get the job done with minimum cost and maximum benefit. 

The OpenBots Enterprise RPA+ tools available will help you scale your digital transformation efforts without paying unnecessary bot licensing fees which can result in millions of annual savings.
