Robotic Process Automation
- the use of a software "robot" (a program) that replicates the actions of a human interacting with the user interface of a computer system
True/False RPA is a rule-based system that executes processes without the need for constant human supervision, and connects multiple systems without changing the existing IT landscape
True
What are the 3 primary uses of RPA?
- data movement
- digital enablement
- data processing
Data movement
sourcing, lightly transforming and loading data in/out of systems and tools e.g. spreadsheets or documents
Digital enablement
adding a digital/mobil front-end to applications, particularly to legacy systems that are challenging to interface with
