Frequently Asked Questions

help What are the core capabilities of Robotic Process Automation tools?
RPA tools automate repetitive human tasks by emulating the transaction steps traditionally taken by humans, mainly via orchestrated UI
interactions. Some examples of core capabilities / features are:

Integrate with enterprise applications, primarily via UI scraping.

 Accelerate citizen developers.

Orchestration and administration capabilities, including configuration, monitoring, and security.

Intelligent document processing.

Process/Task mining and discovery.

help What are some of the latest emerging features in RPA platforms?
Certain RPA platforms offer emerging features and capabilities, such as:

API connectors that can be orchestrated along with UI scrapers

A low-code user experience (UX) for building UI front ends for bots

Headless or serverless orchestration of automation workflows (also described as "headless bots")

help How does RPA technology work?

RPA automates repetitive human tasks by emulating the transaction steps traditionally taken by humans, mainly via orchestrated UI interactions. It
maps a human process or task in RPA software language, for a software script — commonly known as a “robot” or “bot” — to follow, with runtime
allocated to execute the script by a control dashboard or orchestrator. Bots can be developed by programming or by using intuitive low-code/no-
code GUIs native to the RPA software platform.

help How does RPA software play a role in hyper-automation?

Software engineering leaders are scaling beyond tactical automation to deliver greater efficiency and efficacy with hyper-automation, which helps
to combine several technologies to deliver end-to-end intelligent automation. RPA solutions have an important part in achieving better efficiency
with hyper-automation, especially for those who are not in IT departments.

help What do Peer Insights reviewers recommend to implement RPA solutions?

Peer Insights reviewers share their experiences and highlight what advice they would give to other prospective customers. Below are some of the
top recommendations:

Evaluate your immediate and future RPA needs, and business drivers that help scale your plans.

Prioritize vendors that align with your business outcomes and select a less complex yet effective tool.

Standardize and automate redundant processes, and then proceed with RPA initiatives.

Invest in the right training programs to build RPA skills.
