Frequently Asked Questions

We monitor a wide range of different operational and performance metrics on the underlying infrastructure and pro-actively run dummy work-flows to test the system.

The platform is charged up-front on an annual basis, for a minimum of three years for the Dedicated service and one year for the Hosted.

Ultima are responsible for ensuring that the platform and virtual worker are operational, handling exceptions should they arise under SLAs. We also resolve faults within any process that we have developed. The exception to this would be issues related to systems under your control, which are passed to you for resolution.

As part of the service, we will create up to two accounts, providing you with secure access to both our SharePoint portal and dynamic Power BI dashboards, allowing you to view, filter and drill into reports. The workforce-related information presented is updated eight times per day.

Despite being hosted in the Thoughtonomy Azure tenant, nobody outside our organisation has permissions to make alterations to your encrypted processes. An SHA 256 hash is automatically generated for each process, which is checked daily against our database to ensure nothing has changed. As an additional security measure, we receive a report whenever any aspect of a process is altered.

Where applicable, we use an internally developed product called IA-Connect to simplify access to your environment, reducing the number of potential open ports required, keeping touch points to a minimum. This effectively allows us to tunnel RPA traffic via Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP, with optional two-factor authentication for additional security.
