Introduction to
RPA
Learning Objectives
RPA is the technology that enables a software program to mimic human actions while interacting
with computer applications to accomplish required tasks. Some human interactions that can be
automated are:
RPA builds robots which can mimic human actions at the same time it can be done in a
low-code environment.
RPA can make individuals more efficient. A Robot will execute tasks assigned to it much
faster compared to a human.
RPA can help workers become more productive and release their bandwidth so that they
can focus on other aspects of their work.
RPA can free the workers from mundane, boring repetitive tasks and they focus on tasks
which involve creativity and human decisions.
Benefits of RPA
Processes that are simple, structured and can be easily mimicked by a machine are best suited for
RPA.
Some of the most popular processes where RPA is deployed in businesses today are:
Client Information
Payroll Processing
Updates
Accounting
Invoice Processing
Reconciliation
Compliance
Sales Order
Reporting
What are Robots?
