==What is Robotic Process Automation?==
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 (RPA) describes software tools that partially or fully automate manual, rule-based, tasks considered redundant in the modern workplace. RPA software robots (a.k.a. digital workers or bots) follow rule-based processes along an If/Then programming path to mimic existing business processes and tasks of human workers, 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.

RPA leverages data and automation to modernize business processes within existing operational ecosystems. RPA processes involve documentation of existing processes and tasks associated with business processes and aim to integrate within current workflow to support operational efficiency and modernize the workforce to enable innovation. RPA bots are programmed to imitate certain rule-based and repetitive tasks using their own unique login information that is monitored by human controllers. As the RPA bots enable integration within existing business processes and IT infrastructure, it is an ideal tool to modernize workflow through automation of outdated business processes.
