Feature Slider DG

Automation Accuracy

The highly stable rules engine achieves automation with greater precision, accuracy, and reliability. Furthermore an internal health checker monitors the health and security components

b4-Bot intelligent vision

Our Bots have the ability to read from various data sources for example over Citrix, web applications, CRMs and ERP systems. The b4 -Bots use multiple technologies including to recognise images, objects and text on the screen

b4-Agent vision

Our Agents run in the background and can provide a multitasking function to the automation. It "sees" what is going on in the system background and can work with the b4-Bot on various processes

IT Automation

b4 comes from an IT Automation background and therefore provides powerful features that allow RPA engineers to ensure best automation efficiency, stability, security and control

RPA on Locked Screen

The b4-Bots comply with various government and enterprise level security standards one of which is that automated processes run behind locked screens

Auto Login

b4-Bots log securely and autonomous into the operating system exactly as predefined by the RPA engineer

Feature Slider DG - Slide 2

Centralized Management

Configure, deploy and manage your virtual workforce centrally using the b4-Master-Controller. The system is easily scalable and has powerful management features

User/Customer Management

Manage various RPA end customers or internal stakeholders by utilising the powerful b4 user manager that allows you provide a professional platform from which to provide your RPA centre of excellence from

Web Dashboard Manager

Besides managing your RPA stakeholders, you can provide restricted access to various dashboards that you can make available online and manage with the b4-Dashboard Manager

Reporting Engine

The b4 reporting engine creates professional reports with extensive customisation possibilities. The report scheduler can also generate and send reports based on multiple variables

Attended b4-Bots

With b4 you can provide both, attended and unattended Bots. Attended Bots allow the user configures and utilise the Bots assistance as they please. Unlike other systems however, the b4-Bots are still connected to a centralised system, providing more powerful features, security and control

Unattended b4-Bots

The b4-Master-Controller can manage and control a large number of Bots that work on their own dedicated system and don’t need any human help except where the process requires an exception. Furthermore b4-Bots can work in sync with each other in order to complete a process more effectively

Feature Slider DG - Slide 3

b4- Recorder

With b4 you can go into scripting mode which enables limitless possibilities, but with the b4-recorder, you can utilise a smart RPA recorder that automatically compiles your bot action

b4-Automation Manager

The b4-Automatoin Manager is a powerful feature that allows you to manage copy and edit any bot action centrally and easily. The Automation Manager is a key feature in being able to manage changes and deploy these quickly to target systems

Robot Performance Monitoring

b4 has an array of monitoring capabilities that provide live statuses on the performance and success of the Bot actions. Furthermore, b4 can provide a monitoring facility that ensures the health and performance of the target system and application itself

Intelligent Notification

The b4 graphical rules engine workflow enables you to configure your own notification logic easily defining what, when and where notifications are sent

b4 Update Manager

The b4 update manager allows you to easily, securely check for updates and configure to automatically download as well as optionally automatically install updates from the AmdoSoft repository

b4-Proxy

The b4 Proxy is a further security feature by AmdoSoft. The proxy provides an additional level of security by redirecting traffic towards your master controller. In some high end security environments this is an essential functionality

Feature Slider DG - Slide 4

SSL Encryption

The b4 Bots keep all user data on their system own systems, however statuses and certain credentials are sent. Any information that crosses the Master Controller and the Bot is encrypted and further encrypted automatically utilising the most secure SSL encryption available

Master-Slave Controller

Besides the many management possibilities of b4, it’s possible to create a controller hierarchy utilising slave controllers that can run the automation independently in a local network while being managed by the master controller

Graphical Workflow Rules Engine

The graphical workflow based rules engine doesn’t only automate a multitude of front end and back end processes, it is easy to use, utilising drag and drop technology and also acts as a visual documentation that also non-technical people understand easily

Automation Master Rules

In b4, you don’t need to create a separate workflow rule for every automaton scenario. With master rules, you can globally define specific automation logic; apply it to multiple Bots and automation flows. This also allows you to change the automation logic without having to edit multiple rules

Custom Scripts

b4 is highly versatile. You can incorporate existing scripts. Any script language that can be executed on the local machine can be integrated in the graphical rules workflow and executed on the target system

End To End Monitoring

b4 checks all application performance outputs in real time and from the Bots/Users point of view. The additional benefit is that if there are any immediate or progressive issues with the performance and/or availability of critical applications and processes, the Bot will provide objective dependable information and can troubleshoot and narrow the root cause
