Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows anyone to configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process.
RPA or digital labor offers new ways to save time on repetitive tasks. The design is to imitate human activities interacting with a technology application in accomplishing a task. Processes or tasks with predetermined steps such as data entry, new vendor creation from multiple sources can be automated and allowing employees to focus on value creation activity.
