Robotic process automation (UiPath) - Robotic process automation (RPA) is a service used for software applications that partially or fully automate human activities that are rule-based, manual and repetitive. RPA is the technology that gives agencies a low-code/no-code way to train and deploy a “robot” or digital worker/assistant that emulates human interactions across digital systems, to execute business processes at machine speed and with 100% accuracy.
As RPA only mimics human interactions with systems, RPA doesn’t store any agency data. The only exception are artifacts of the account creation within Automation Cloud, which include login credentials and logs.
The following RPA services, and functionality, are available in the VITA service catalog:
