2) Where do we use RPA?
Certain work or certain process that do not need any manual intervention or any human interference. mean that no need to take any manual decision to complete that work.
For example, let say we have an employee whose day in day out job is to download some pdf files from a different web application. And e-mail these files to various users based on certain business rules. The bot can be programmed to do the exactly same that a human would do. It launches the application login with credentials searches the pdf files downloading. That pdf files by clicking save button and then use outlook and send emails. All these done on the front end like a human user would do.
Advantages:
1) No need to change structure of the application.
2) Robot work 24/7.
3) A robot used by one or more process on different schedules.
4) RPA reduce cost and improves efficiency and accuracy.
Disadvantages:
1) Speed of the bot depends upon the application.
2) The bot doesn’t responsible for the logic of the business application.
3) Even minor changes to the application need to reconfigure the bot.
4) Some RPA tools that are available in IT market?
a) Blue Prism
