Abstract
The following chapter first provides a brief overview of the current development of the overall RPA market. It then looks at the diversity of RPA software providers. However, this chapter deliberately avoids a comparison of software providers (by name). Section 5.4 provides details and advice on selecting the appropriate solution. The chapter also explains the role of RPA consultants and other implementation partners and defines four different roles they can take. Appropriate criteria are provided for the individual selection of suitable consultants and implementation partners.

Notes
- 1.
The software providers mentioned here are only an exemplary selection of the constantly changing total number of RPA software providers.
- 2.
A comparison of different software is not made here, as it is not possible to guarantee sustained completeness in the constantly changing market environment.
- 3.
Instead of a direct purchase of RPA software from the software manufacturer, it is assumed here that the software is purchased from a reseller—a case which is more common in practice.
