Robotic Process Automation Definition
Robotic process automation (RPA) is the application of technology that allows employees in a company to configure computer software or a “robot” to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems.
RPAs are deployed to automate repetitive, rules-based tasks that previously required human intervention. By automating these processes, RPAs can help organizations achieve significant efficiency gains and cost savings. In addition, RPAs can help improve compliance with regulatory requirements and reduce errors in processing.
