What is RPA and how does it work
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) allows you to automate repetitive, mundane, low value but high time-consuming or complex tasks. Using RPA we can program robots or as they call it BOTS to emulate and integrate the actions of human interactions across various systems and applications to execute business processes. These digital workers utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate applications similar to humans. They interpret, trigger responses and communicate with other application systems in order to perform a variety of repetitive labour intensive or rule driven processes.
RPA is 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 a byproduct of the automation. Bots are capable of mimicking most human user actions by logging into applications, move files and folders, copy and paste data, fill in forms, extract structured and semi-structured data from documents, scrape browsers, and more.
