Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the term used to describe advanced technology that partially or fully automates human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive, by applying artificial intelligence (AI). RPA can be used for tasks such as data entry, processing transactions, and customer service queries, as well as to manipulate data, trigger responses and communicate with other digital systems.

FAQs
Optimise workflows and meet growing automation demands with robotic process automation and free up valuable human resources for more complex tasks and challenges.
What is robotic process automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a technology that uses software robots, or “bots” to automate routine and repetitive tasks within digital systems. RPA bots interact with applications, databases, and websites just like a human user would, performing actions like clicking, typing, copying, and pasting, following pre-defined rules to complete specific tasks.
What career paths can I pursue with an RPA certification?
RPA skills are valuable in roles like RPA Developer, Automation Analyst, Business Analyst, Process Engineer, and more within sectors ranging from finance to healthcare.
How is RPA different from AI or machine learning?
Robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) each serve distinct roles. RPA automates repetitive, rule-based tasks by mimicking human actions within software systems, without learning or adapting. AI, on the other hand, aims to replicate human intelligence, enabling machines to analyse, reason and make decisions. While ML, a subset of AI, focuses on algorithms that learn from data and improve over time.
Essentially RPA follows pre-set rules to handle tasks, while AI and ML enable systems to adapt and make data-driven decisions, making them suitable for more complex, dynamic applications.
How is RPA used in business settings?
RPA is used across industries to improve efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, such as processing transactions, updating databases, and handling routine customer inquiries.
