Robotic Process Automation
(RPA)
What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a productivity tool that allows a user to configure one or more scripts (which some vendors refer to as “bots”) to activate specific keystrokes in an automated fashion. The result is that the bots can be used to mimic or emulate selected repetitive and rule-based tasks within an overall business or IT process.
More simply, RPA is defined as the automation of rules-based processes with software that utilizes the user interface and which can run on any software, including web-based applications, ERP systems, and mainframe systems.
The “Evolution” of Automation Systems
The meaning of an enterprise’s automation system is very broad, including both strategies that can improve processes and complex technologies with cognitive elements.
Process Automation
- Capture data collection
- Rule-based business process management automation
- Toolkit for repetitive tasks
- Achieve process efficiency cheaper and faster
Intelligence Automation
- Data input and output in any format
- Pattern recognition in unstructured data
- Repetitive tools for judgment-based tasks
- Basic learning ability to continuously improve quality and speed
Artificial Intelligence
- Natural language recognition and processing
- Processing unstructured super data sets
- Predictive analysis based on the hypothesis
- Continuously rewrite self-learning rules to improve performance
As the demand for automation continues to grow, the interaction of emerging technologies will lead to fundamental changes in the way companies operate and provide services to customers
What Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Can Do?
“By using RPA on top of the processes we can harvest much more information and data than through traditional methods. This opens up new opportunities like leveraging that information for cognitive and AI type of technologies. As we scale up and more data becomes available, this link will be stronger and stronger.” by Karolina Mikolajow, Simplification Lead, UBS Investment Bank
