While Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has been around for about 20
years, it has hit an inflection point because of the convergence of
cloud computing, big data and AI. This book shows you how to leverage
RPA effectively in your company to automate repetitive and rules-based
processes, such as scheduling, inputting/transferring data, cut and
paste, filling out forms, and search.
Using practical aspects of implementing the technology (based on case
studies and industry best practices), you'll see how companies have been
able to realize substantial ROI (Return On Investment) with their
implementations, such as by lessening the need for hiring or
outsourcing. By understanding the core concepts of RPA, you'll also see
that the technology significantly increases compliance - leading to
fewer issues with regulations - and minimizes costly errors.
RPA software revenues have recently soared by over 60 percent, which is
the fastest ramp in the tech industry, and they are expected to exceed
$1 billion by the end of 2019. It is generally seamless with legacy IT
environments, making it easier for companies to pursue a strategy of
digital transformation and can even be a gateway to AI. The Robotic
Process Automation Handbook puts everything you need to know into one
place to be a part of this wave.
