Abstract

RPA is an application of technology that allows employees in a company to configure computer software, or a 'robot', to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems. Over the last few decades, various types of high technology products that impact businesses have been introduced. The emergence of the term "Robotic Process Automation" could be dated back to early 2000, as a developing technology that builds on artificial intelligence and workflow automation which brings these technologies to a new level, advancing their capabilities in an improved way. The implementation of RPA has not only opened opportunities for organizations to further save on expenses but also optimized the business processes by eliminating error-prone manual activities across their business functions. As markets evolve and technology changes, RPA allows companies to react quickly without necessarily encountering the need to reconfigure a major IT project or develop new interfaces. There is a diverse range of RPA applications in different business settings. A classic candidate for RPA would be one where three key characteristics are fulfilled: ► The tasks or actions are consistent, with the same steps being performed repeatedly. ► The process is template driven, with data being entered into specific fields in a repetitive manner. ► The process is rules-based, to allow decision flows to alter dynamically. What to consider in the RPA development? RPA adoption is going to grow fast because of practical benefits. It allows efficiency in terms of accuracy and faster cycle time, thereby increasing productivity in transactions processing, while elevating the nature of work by disengaging people from repetitive and error-prone tasks. It therefore provides opportunity for process people to be re-tooled and used to perform other important business functions instead.
