What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)Â is a new technology for automating business processes by creating “software robots”.
The robots perform routine and repetitive tasks so that the employees can focus on the important and interesting tasks. Modern RPA systems can be integrated with machine learning and artificial intelligence. It expands their range of capabilities, increases business performance, improves communication between RPAs and users through chat bots and decision-making systems.
Why should SAP® customers use RPA?
