What is RPA and what is automation?

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is the technology that enables software ‘robots’ to carry out repetitive, rule-based digital tasks. Humans typically perform these tasks through the user interface, using the mouse and keyboard. RPA robots are capable of mimicking the human actions, and they are typically more accurate, faster, and more consistent at it.

Combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI), RPA can target more sophisticated work. This opens up endless possibilities on the path towards the fully automated enterprise.

Automation is a term that describes more accurately these possibilities that exceed the sphere of basic RPA. Sometimes we use these two terms interchangeably, given that RPA is still at the core of automation.
