What is RPA? Where it is used? Where to start your learning journey?
RPA — Preamble
If you are wondering what Robotics Process Automation or RPA is, you have found the right post.
RPA is a software technology that helps us in building software bots which can automate almost any digital task.
Using this technology, we can build bots which can mimic rule-based tasks performed by humans such as User onboarding, Periodic report generation, Data Entry, Data Migration and Data Validation. These bots are often called a Digital Workforce.
Utilities of RPA
The benefits of RPA are endless, the efficiency of automated processes improves considerably as a bot can handle data more systematically, it can copy paste data, perform web scraping and also do mathematical calculations easily and with all this we will be able to avoid human errors, reduce cost and increase delivery speed which makes process more business friendly and will result in greater customer satisfaction.
RPA enables people to focus on more strategic work, as tedious and repetitive tasks can be automated by bots which helps both the employers and employees as the overall work environment becomes more productive.
Further advantages of RPA
- High volume of task can be easily automated.
- Supports regular compliance process which results in error free auditing.
- Real time visibility into bug/defect discovery.
- Bots can work 24*7 which notably increases scalability.
- Significant cost reduction as RPA handles repetitive task and utilizes time and resources efficiently.
- Effective, seamless Build & Release Management
RPA Implementation Areas
Robotic processes can be implemented in any industry where any type software system is used. Various organizations are adopting RPA solutions to meet their primary business goals.
