What is robotic process automation (RPA)?
Highly repetitive employee tasks often take valuable time away from more important and creative problem-solving and customer-centric work. Robotic process automation (RPA) is the industry term for software tools that help automate routine tasks to give important time back to employees.
IBM Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere — part of the IBM Automation Platform for Digital Business — augments its traditional RPA capabilities with extra automation. Use it to address your immediate task-automation needs and then layer on its additional capabilities to make your RPA bots smarter and even more agile.
Your bots will be able to orchestrate workflows, integrate with your business rules and decisions, manage your content, and capture data — all to more efficiently and effectively help you achieve existing business objectives and reimagine newer and even more scalable and innovative ones.
