What is RPA
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is all about building intelligent automations for an enterprise. Centrally automating, managing & tracking business processes that are executed by robots in all the departments of an organization.
By adopting RPA, organizations can overcome many of the barriers like 4 eye authentication process, error-prone transactional processes, rule-based time-consuming back-office operations, and can achieve operational efficiency with enhanced performance at an enterprise level.
RPA Evolution
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has evolved from being a Tactical Process to a Strategic Solution. Moreover, it has evolved from being a Virtual Assistant to Virtual Workforce.
Manual Old Processes | Assisted Macro Automation | Robotic Process Automation |
---|---|---|
Human workforce | Virtual assistant | Virtual workforce |
Clerical long process | Human assisted macro applications | End-to-end process automation |
Required huge human resources for scaling | Non scalable apps built for specific processes | Scalable & flexible virtual workers |
– | Multiple macros/apps could not work simultaneously | Multiple bots working simultaneously |
Time consuming human activity | Time consuming development work | Fast and efficient development & deployment |
– | Compatibility issues with legacy systems | Compatibility with universal software systems |
Manual work | No scheduling | Task scheduling |
– | No centralized macro/app management | Centralized robot management & tracking |
– | Deployed on desktop or shared location | Can be deployed in server, cloud/saas |
