Robotic Process Automation (RPA) 101 – What is RPA and why is it so popular right now?

There are exciting advancements in process automation and robotics technologies which have resulted in an ever-growing interest in – and need for – Robotics Process Automation (RPA). Robotics has been very successful in industrial and manufacturing industries for some time. The advancements that can impact back-office uses today are many, and can represent a good ROI.

But when we think of robots, what comes to mind? The Hollywood references are endless: I, Robot, WALL-E, Transformers, Data from Star Trek: TNG, Ash from Alien, or even The Jestsons’ maid. Today, it’s somewhere in between. But, without a clear understanding, how can we determine how it can help?

In this webinar, we’ll take an introductory overview of Robotic Process Automation – what it is and what it can do for you. We’ll discuss:

• The basics of RPA, how to define it, how to assess its impact and ROI
• The opportunity for how RPA can integrate into your information management strategy planning
• The relationship between RPA and areas such as ECM and Intelligent OCR
• How human resources, accounts payable, administration, claims processing, and other back-office processes are prime areas where RPA can easily integrate into an organization
