An Overview of Robotic Process Automation

Abstract

There are some segments of the business that require simple and everyday tasks, high-risk steps, or processes that include multiple people and steps, so implementing these working requirements can be automated, and it can leave more time for the employees to dedicate themselves to more important business goals. Process automation is simplifying complex business processes with the help of the technology. Robotic process automation (RPA) is one of the ways how a company can imitate human tasks through robots (boots). RPA is focused on the automation of repetitive actions, aiming to bring organizations an easier way of handling these actions in the most efficient way. RPA is helping companies in achieving maximum results in an effective manner. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the advantages of robotic process automation and the positive influence that this process is having over the business sector. This paper shows different tools for RPA and how they can be used to solve some challenges that businesses are facing. We describe how RPA could be used in various application areas, and also we present several case studies.
