Or is this an invisible robot? It might be weird to think about what robotic process automation is and how it works. Robotic process automation or RPA is meant to mimic the work humans do when interacting with a machine or system, but without the physical robot that we may picture from cartoons or movies, or maybe what we've seen today. For many legacy systems, RPA is a great option. It can take manual processes and speed them up dramatically without needing to spend as much time on expensive systems integrations. So for example, if you have a system where users enter data and that data needs to be sent to another system, a traditional IT solution might build a data interface between the two systems. This can take a good amount of time to understand the data, rules, file structures, write up…
