Robotic Process Automation: Myths and Challenges Video Series

Robotic process automation, or RPA, is an emerging market experiencing explosive growth. In this short video series, Mike Palmer talks about the myths and challenges of implementing RPA at the enterprise level. The market for RPA growing so quickly in fact, that it touches every industry in a multitude of different ways.

In this series, Mike will talk about the following:

• Myth 1: Automation as a project
• Myth 2: Automation costs jobs
• Myth 3: Automation is complex
• Myth 4: Automation is expensive
• Myth 5: Automation maintenance
• Myth 6: Automation is spaghetti

Put simply, RPA automates and simplifies activities that people would normally do. Despite its simplicity, RPA is a rather complex technology. The benefits of RPA are wide-ranging, but the two biggest are that it can be done without the intervention of people and it’s error-free. With more than six years of dedicated innovation in RPA, UiPath is one of the pioneers in this space.

What's possible?

Essentially, anything that a person does with a keyboard or mouse can be automated. That means that there are literally thousands of possible automations within the workflow of an independent business unit or department.

RPA touches all industries, but there are a few that are automating at an accelerated rate:

• Healthcare
• Manufacturing and supply chain
• Financial sectors (banking, insurance, financial services, mortgage companies)
• Retail
