What is Robotic Process

Automation?

Robotic Process Automation is the technology that allows anyone today to


configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and integrate the actions
of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process.
RPA robots utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate
applications just like humans do. They interpret, trigger responses and
communicate with other systems in order to perform on a vast variety of
repetitive tasks. Only substantially better: an RPA software robot never sleeps,
makes zero mistakes and costs a lot less than an employee.

How is RPA different from


other enterprise automation tools?

In contrast to other, traditional IT solutions, RPA allows organizations to


automate at a fraction of the cost and time previously encountered. RPA
is also non-intrusive in nature and leverages the existing infrastructure
without causing disruption to underlying systems, which would be
difficult and costly to replace. With RPA, cost efficiency and compliance
are no longer an operating cost but a byproduct of the automation.
