Robotic Process Automation (RPA)-is a technology that allows people to deploy ‘digital workforce’ or programmed robots that emulate a human’s actions within computer systems in order to execute business processes more efficiently.
RPA helps companies to streamline operations and to increase productivity and profitability in the long-term.
Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is a technology-based on programmed software bots that imitate repetitive human activities;
RPA is a non-invasive technology that requires very little human involvement and may execute tasks on the applications and systems’ surface;
RPA is an easy-to-use way to optimize workflow by delegating routine tasks to bots.
RPA bot is software that imitates human actions and executes repetitive, rule-based tasks.
Attended and unattended Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots are two modes that can work with or without human intervention.
Attended Bots
KEY FEATURES:
Requires human intervention. Activated by end-user when a user needs to complete specific tasks.
WHERE IT WORKS:
Finishes tasks for individual employees.
HOW IT WORKS:
Employees trigger and direct a bot to act.
WHEN IT WORKS:
Employees trigger bots to automate tasks whenever they are needed.
Unattended Bots
KEY FEATURES:
Doesn't require human intervention.
WHERE IT WORKS:
Automates back-office processes at scale.
HOW IT WORKS:
Provisioned based on rules-based processes.
WHEN IT WORKS:
Bots complete processes without human intervention according to a set schedule.
Office workers spend up to 40 % of their time on cognitive routines.
According to Smartsheet’s survey, 4 of every 10 people spend at least two hours on routine, repetitive processes with data collection, transformation, and data entry occupying the most time.
Common Repetitive Processes are:
Copy-pasting between computer systems
Time-consuming data entry in web forms, office, and legacy apps
Extracting data from scans and printed docs
Long repetitive steps inside the browser: searching, downloading, etc.
Digital Workforce can save your time to focus on more critical strategic tasks and communication with customers.
