What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?
Robotic Process Automation is the technology that allows anyone today to configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process. RPA robots utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate applications just like humans do. They interpret, trigger responses and communicate with other systems in order to perform on a vast variety of repetitive tasks. Only substantially better: an RPA software robot never sleeps and makes zero mistakes.

You Decide How Your Robots Work For You
Robot can work independently.
They’ll check in with you if there’s a
question or exception. We call this
unattanded automation

Robot can work under your
Supervision. You decide when they
stop, start, and wait for you. We
call this attended automation
Or use both, in a hybrid model.
