RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is the technology that allows us to configure software robots to imitate human actions in computer environment. RPA robots interacts with user interface to extract/input data and run applications just like humans do.
Robots can communicate with other systems and interpret data in order to perform repetitive tasks. RPA software robot can work 7/24, makes no mistakes if implemented carefully and costs a lot less than a full time employee.
How does Robotic Process Automation work?
RPA robots are capable of mimicking many human actions. They are able to login destktop/web applications, create/delete/move files and folders, send keyboard key combinations, fill in forms, read database, extract structured data from documents, call web services, scrape browsers and many more…
Benefits of Automating Process with Robots
There are several benefits that robots provide when you implementing them.
Speed: Robots are generally 4-5 times faster than humans when interacting with UI. Because of that, there will be huge time savings in terms of ccompletion of tasks.
Accuracy: Robotic Process Automation software robots are designed to certain business rules. They never get tired and never make mistakes if implemented carefully. Therefore, they are helping humans to reduce errors.
Compliance: RPA robots execute processes reliably and that provides risk-free implementations. Every step they take is monitored and therefore we can have full control to comply with existing regulations and standards.
Scalibility: RPA robots are able to perform massive amount of operations, from desktop to cloud environments. Additional robots can be deployed quickly with minimal costs to meet new expectations.
