What is robotic process
automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software technology that
makes it easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that
emulate human's actions interacting with digital systems and
software.
Just like people, software robots can do things like understand
what’s on a screen, complete the right keystroke, navigate
systems, identify and extract data, and perform a wide range of
defined actions. But software robots can do it faster and more
consistently than people, without the need to get up and stretch
or take a coffee break.

What are the business benefits of
RPA?
6
Where can RPA be
used?
Today, RPA is driving new efficiencies and freeing people from repetitive
tedium across a broad swath of industries and processes. Enterprises
in industries ranging from financial services to healthcare to
manufacturing to the public sector to retail and far beyond have
implemented RPA in areas as diverse as finance, compliance, legal,
customer service, operations, and IT. And that’s just for starters.
RPA has become so widespread because it is broadly applicable.
Virtually any high-volume, business-rules-driven, repeatable process
is a great candidate for automation—and increasingly so are
cognitive processes that require higher- order AI skills.

Why is RPA the fastest-growing
enterprise software in the world?
Rapid, significant return Minimal upfront investment No disruption to underlying Low-code build Scalable and enterprise-
on investment (ROI) systems environment ready
8
Is RPA the same as artificial intelligence
(AI)?
RPA is not AI; AI is not RPA. But the combination of RPA and AI unlocks massive new possibilities
for enterprises everywhere. For one thing, RPA technology now makes it possible to insert
advanced AI skills in the form of machine learning models, natural language processing (NLP),
character and image recognition, and more into RPA robots. Giving robots these AI skills
dramatically expands their ability to handle cognitive processes that require things like:
