==What is Robotic Process Automation?==

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive. The software robots (A.K.A Digital Workers) follow <u>objective decision making</u> by mimicking and replicating the actions of an actual human interacting with one or more software applications to perform tasks such as data entry, standard transaction processing, or responding to customer service questions.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) describes software tools that partially or fully automate manual, rule-based, repetitive tasks of human workers that are considered redundant; such as duplication of manual data entry in numerous software, data retrieval from numerous software applications, standard transactions processing and other. The software robots (a.k.a. Digital Workers or bots) follow rule-based tasks by mimicking tasks of human workers existing business processes, such as: data entry, standard transaction processing, or responding to customer service questions.

Robotic Process Automation tools do not replace the underlying business applications; rather, they automate the manual tasks of human workers. They essentially look at the screens that workers look at and fill in and update the same boxes and fields within the user interface by pulling the relevant data from the relevant location.
