What is Robotic Process Automation?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that allows anyone today to configure computer software, 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 a variety of repetitive tasks.
Only substantially better: an RPA software robot never sleeps, makes zero mistakes and costs a lot less than an employee.
Robotic Process Automation is another step in the evolution of business processes. it is the next logical step to significantly reduce the requirement for employees to perform rule-based, high volume activities. Instead, RPA enables employees to focus on more strategic tasks that help the business - and the beauty of it all is that many organizations are just beginning to explore the use of RPA in different scenarios and situations.
What makes RPA different?
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.

Technology that you control
There is no greater asset in today’s business environment than agility.
Businesses that can react to change will succeed in even the most unexpected circumstances.
As organizations adapt to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve turned to automation to help stabilize their business models and streamline crucial processes. With automation, businesses are able to look beyond crisis response to focus on emerging stronger than before.
RPA technology is already transforming businesses of all kinds as companies around the world become convinced of automation’s power and make it central to their strategies.
Growth
The key driver for automation projects is their ability to improve process quality, speed and productivity. RPA as an industry is growing exponentially. This reinforces how important the software is for organisations around the world especially during this current pandemic.
Sustain
Looking at RPA as just an "out of the box add-on"will yield short-term improvements. However, this approach isn't sustainable. Organizations should instead take a longer term approach that will truly maximize the software's impact.
Growth
The cost savings are compelling, considering the technology is scalable and fairly easy to implement. Let’s not forget that automation offers the potential for more useful insight, thanks to enhanced reporting and data-gathering.
So how do you move forward with automation?

Software robots are easy to train and they integrate seamlessly into any system. Multiply them, and instantly deploy more as you go. They constantly report on their progress so you can go even bigger and better by using operational and business predictability while improving strategically.
Better Accuracy
RPA software robots are programmed to follow rules. They never get tired and never make mistakes. They are compliant and consistent.
Improved Compliance
Once instructed, RPA robots execute reliably, reducing risk. Everything they do is monitored. You have the full control to operate in accordance with existing standards.
Fast Cost Savings
RPA can reduce processing costs by up to 80%. In less than 12 months, most enterprises already have a positive return on investment.
Super Scalable
RPA performs a massive amount of operations in parallel, from desktop to cloud environments. Additional robots can be deployed quickly with minimal costs.
Increased Productivity
Employees are the first to appreciate the benefits of RPA as it removes non-value-add activities and relieves them from the rising pressure of work.
