What is RPA (Robotic Process Automation)?

Software robots that automate repetitive, rule-based tasks across applications.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software robots ('bots') to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks that humans currently perform across multiple applications. Common use cases include data entry, invoice processing, report generation, and system reconciliation. RPA is often a quick-win initiative in digital transformation because it delivers fast ROI without requiring changes to underlying systems.
