What is RPA?


As everyone knows that RPA is Robotic Process Automation, but what actually it is...!!!

You’re automating a process using robots (technically called as ‘bots’) is called a RPA

R P A=Robotic+Process+Automation

RPA, as the name suggests, enables us to automate processes. Usually many imagine that using these tools someone can build physical robots. But that’s not the case. These robots are the software which enables us to create process flow programs and business objects, which are then deployed to virtual machines. The virtual machines act as robots and perform the actions like a human would do.

The actions may include logging into applications, browsing them, extracting data, moving the data, creating new MS Office files, sending e-mails and many, many more.
