We humans are lazy and were habitually attempting to do more with less. For thousands of years, we have built machines to perform arduous tasks for us. In the era of computerization and software, a new terminology emerges in automation – Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
While automation has a broad connotation of any labor-saving technique or technology, RPA is a specialized application for business process and workflow automation. RPA is particularly aimed at mimicking essential human actions for business development. The goal of RPA is to reduce the use of human labor for mundane tasks, thus making it possible to reuse their capabilities towards gainful business activities.
