What are the system requirements to deploy Turbotic on-premise?

Turbotic supports on premises deployment for organisation that demands unique scalability and security compliances. We provide the following options for our customers. However, we can be flexible to suite custom approaches as well.

Option 1: Managed On-Prem Deployment (Proof of Concept - POC)

Please note this section is only for Managed POC Deployments. For instructions on Managed Production Deployments, please contact our sales team.

This approach is the most preferred by our other customers. Here, you can add selected people from our team (preferably 3 persons) to your organisation as contractors or external members and assign us access to the infrastructure resources required for Turbotic. So that we will perform the following activities.

Create a VM with following configuration:

  • CPU: 4 Cores
  • Memory: 8 GB
  • Storage: 30 GB (Min.)
  • Setup a static IP address and associate it with the VM created above
  • Setup of Gateway and other networking activities to ensure the applications reachability
  • Install Kubernetes K3D cluster on it
  • Setup PODS and Deployments as necessary to access the application
  • Setting up of SSL
  • Setup necessary storage account and other Azure services to enable required functionalities

Continues maintenance of PODS and troubleshooting in case of any issue

We can be flexible as some of these activities can be done from your end in case of any access control constrains. It is upto the organisation to determine what level of access and activities should we undertake.

Option 2: Self Managed On-Prem Deployment (Both POC and Production)

Self managed on premises deployments refers to deploying it in your network yourself. This requires expertise involving container deployments, advanced networking, scalability and security. Please refer to our 'On Premises Deployment Guide' to learn more about it. In this scenario, our team will be able to assist you with deployment process, also to review if deployments are done according to the guideline and helping to troubleshoot access issues after it.

How does Turbotic technically integrate with third party applications, e.g. RPA vendors?

We rely on APIs to connect and import data from our data-partners. We also rely on web-hooks or similar solutions to allow for two-way control from within Turbotic.

Data

What data flows between the third party integrated tool and Turbotic?

Once you have connected with one or more of our partners you will be able to import data relating to your live deployed solutions in respective tool (e.g. RPA processes and robots OR AI/ML models). Turbotic will then import metadata (e.g. names and versions) as well as functional/technical data (e.g number of executions, failure rates etc.). We never import and process or organisation specific information.

Data
Security / Access

If we have an RPA solution, how difficult is it to integrate that into Turbotic?

Not difficult at all. It can take anywhere from a few minutes (if you are using the cloud versions from our vendors) to a couple of hours (if you are hosted on premise with strict IT security). Note though, that at times the lapsed time may be longer as there may be some  IT security protocols to follow within your organisation.

How does Azure DevOps differ to the Turbotic Build module ?

Azure Dev Ops is a very comprehensive and technical tool catered to software developers. Turbotic's Build module is intended for Automation teams and focuses on solving and showing progress for their typical problems, such as IT security, application access, testing etc.

Competitor / Comparisons

Can you restrict certain data flow from a tool for certain user in Turbotic?

Turbotic offers many customisation options, among them is the ability to restrict a user to only see certain modules and also only be able to read data (instead of reading and writing).

Security / Access

What companies and use-cases are you working with?

We are working with organisations across the automation spectrum, ranging from organisations that are about to deploy their first live solution all the way through to industry leaders with off-shore centers of excellence with thousands of live solutions across multiple automation technologies.

What are the benefits for a centralized vs decentralized organization?

Turbotic OS offers benefits for both centralised and de-centralised organisations. It is a standardised way of working that is online and allows for plenty of customisation. Centralised organisations become more efficient as they can spend less time gathering information but also more easily share insights across the wider organisation. For decentralised organisations it allows for time savings as progress and management can move from spreadsheets and daily meetings to online mangagement with Turbotic OS.

How long time does it take to get onboarded to Turbotic?

It varies depending on the implementation required, but normally 2 weeks if you go for the SaaS deployment option. Turbotic is not a complex product and have a user-friendly interface, with a defined onboarding process so our ambition is that little will be required from you.

What are the IT security requirements to use Turbotic?

This depends whether you opt for the on-premise or cloud deployment. For our cloud deployment you need a compliant browser and then some connection details from your respective vendor. For on-premise you also an IP address that is available from outside your organisation (Turbotic needs to be able to connect to it). This type of IT-security / firewall setup can at times also be required for cloud deployments (depending on your vendor version and organisation's IT policy).

We have only just started with Automation, this looks too advanced for us.

Turbotic OS is a very comprehensive product and supports automation end-to-end, but you must not adopt all modules and parts of it. Most of our users start off with either only supporting their discovery/idea/pipeline or as an add-on to their RPA platform as an easy way to showcase value for management. Turbotic OS was built for Automation teams and the earlier they start using it as their default way (instead of spreadsheets etc.) the better, if not they will encounter problems at some stage.

Usage / Training

We have built an in-house solution, that looks similar to yours, with a bunch of tools such as Jira, Power BI etc.

These types of solutions are often very impressive and have taken a long time to build, but at the heart those tools are not tailored for Automation. They can  no doubt be made to work, but they are not designed with automation in mind, especially when it comes to non-expert users. This is a common question and one that typically requires some detailed technical "digging" so do please get in touch and we could explain more about the nuts and bolts.

We have a third party that manages our RPA - this looks like a lot of work to get them to adopt.

Quite the opposite - Turbotic OS gives you a great way to normalise ways of working and to track the performance of outsourced team with virtually no need to integrate any systems. And it becomes much more transparent and less time consuming than spreadsheets and emails.
