Description
After the first wave of automation, modern knowledge workers still find themselves executing repetitive tasks that are ripe for automation–stifling innovation. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) presents a solution to this problem by creating software robots that automate these mundane and repetitive tasks, significantly increasing productivity in the workplace. In this course, Robotic Process Automation: Getting Started, you will learn the core concepts of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). First, you will explore the basic workings of RPA systems. Second, you will discover how RPA will impact business processes within an organization. Lastly, you will learn what type of processes are best suited to being automated with RPA. By the end of this course, you will have fundamental knowledge of Robotic Process Automation, which will allow you to look for automation opportunities within your organization and understand the applicability of this technology in your day-to-day tasks.
