What does RPA mean?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an automation method used mainly for Back-Office processes. ● Using special software, employees can capture a business process, and then, in cooperation with developers, configure a robot which can perform the task from that point forward. ● In other words, it is a software configured to mimic the user's behavior across applications. ● RPA means you can leave monotonous standardized work up to the robot and let your employees focus on tasks with higher added value.
