SAP RPA
What Is Robotic Process Automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to a set of tools that use technologies to replicate back-office and repetitive tasks that are done manually by humans. Examples of such tasks are data extraction, populating forms, file transfers, etc. RPA tools deploy scripts which mimic human processes and are also able to execute various activities and transactions across software systems that are unrelated. These technologies use rule-based software to perform business process tasks at a high-volume, thereby allowing humans to focus on more critical or innovative work. RPA technologies allow executive leaders and other key decision makers to propel their digital transformation journeys and extract a high return on investment (ROI) from their workforce.
