Robotic Process Automation (RPA) involves deploying software robots, or "bots," to carry out repetitive, rule-driven tasks within digital systems. These bots mimic human interactions with applications and systems, allowing businesses to automate time-consuming processes.  

RPA involves: 

  • Automating data entry across platforms 
  • Extracting and processing information from structured or unstructured data 
  • Performing transactional tasks like invoice processing or order management 
  • Integrating workflows across different systems 

In practice, businesses implement RPA to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and free up employee time for higher-value, strategic work. This results in quicker workflows, reduced expenses, and improved efficiency. 

RPA is essential because it drives operational improvements, supports scalability, and enables organizations to adapt quickly to changing demands while maintaining accuracy and consistency.
