Definition
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) automates repetitive actions previously performed by users in application interfaces. A software robot can log in to a system, download files, transfer data between screens, or run a report on a defined schedule. RPA is useful when a system does not provide a suitable API, but it is sensitive to changes in screen layouts and error messages. An implementation should therefore begin by comparing robotic automation with system integration and a change to the process itself. The solution should include monitoring, exception handling, access control, and a designated business owner. Explore Astrafox Process Automation.
