Pega Robotic Automation version 22.1: Tip of the Day
 

Jeff’s journey with robotic automation began as a client of OpenSpan Software, back in 2005. Jeff joined OpenSpan six years later and worked in Services, leading teams to create automations for well-known companies in the banking, finance, communication, investment, and transportation industries, as well as many others. After Pega purchased OpenSpan, Jeff became a Product Manager and primarily focused on the Robot Studio developer experience.

Jeff, along with others on the Robotics leadership team, used their hands-on automation development expertise to totally redesign Robot Studio to maximize its automation development potential while streamlining the effort required.

Experienced Robot Studio users will find version 22.1 very familiar and will quickly learn the new workflows. However, there are many new enhancements and we want you to hit the ground running. To help you master version 22.1 faster, we will be publishing daily tips on how you can get the most out of Robot Studio. Feel free to add your thoughts and start a discussion. Your feedback is important to us and helps us make the product even better.
