Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows anyone 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.
Highlights
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.
Why RPA?
RPA offers several key benefits over traditional IT integration:
- Accuracy: Robots are 100% accurate, consistent, and compliant with policies.
- Efficiency: They work 24/7/365 without breaks, holidays, or sick leave.
- Cost Savings: Drastically reduces the cost of manual processing (often by 30-50%).
How It Works
RPA tools watch the user perform a task in the application's GUI, and then repeat those tasks directly in the GUI. This can lower the barrier to use of automation in products that might not otherwise feature APIs for this purpose.
The Future of Work
RPA isn't about replacing humans; it's about taking the robot out of the human. By removing repetitive drudgery, employees are free to focus on creative, strategic, and customer-facing work that genuinely adds value.
