Overview
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) refers to process automation technology (think "software robot") that aims to replicate the actions of a human interacting with a software application or system. An example of a software robot performing the task of a human, would be the entering of data into an ERP system.
In this instructor-led training, participants will learn how to implement RPA by engaging in practical, hands-on exercises and discussions.
By the end of this training, participants will have working knowledge of the prominent tools available for designing and deploying RPA systems and will be in a position to evaluate and choose among such systems. Participants will implement various sample RPA projects and gain the necessary practice and mindset to implement a similar system within their own organization.
