Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tutorial: What it is, tools & examples
03 July 2019
Robotics Process Automation (RPA) allows organisations to automate tasks, just like a human being was doing them, across various applications and systems. Robotic automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required.
RPA can be used to automate workflow, infrastructure and back office processes which are labour intensive. These software bots can interact with an in-house application, website, user portal, etc. The RPA is a software program which runs on an end user's pc, laptop or mobile device. It is a sequence of commands which are executed by bots under some defined set of business rules.
The main goal of a Robotics Process Automation process is to replace repetitive and boring clerical tasks performed by humans, with a virtual workforce. RPA does not require the development of code, nor does it require direct access to the code or database of the applications.
