Robot Process Automation bots have the same digital skillset as people – and then some. Think of RPA bots as a digital workforce that can interact with any system or application. For example, bots are able to copy-paste, scrape web data, make calculations, open and move files, parse emails, log in to programs, connect to APIs, and extract unstructured data. And because bots can adapt to any business or workflow there’s no need to change business systems, applications, or existing processes in order to automate.

With RPA, software users create software robots, or “bots”, that can learn, mimic and execute rule-based business processes. RPA automation enables users to create bots by observing human digital actions. Show your bots what to do then let them do the work. Robot Process Automation software bots can interact with any application or system the same way people do – except that RPA bots can operate around the clock, non-stop, much faster, and with 100% reliability and precision.
