Room 2 - How Robotic Process Automation (RPA) decreases costs while increasing accuracy - Ordina

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an innovative way of automation where software takes over human tasks on existing IT-systems and interfaces. This enables companies to automate work with a highly voluminous and highly repetitive nature and to deploy employees to responsibilities that really matter. RPA has a number of specific advantages. Because a robot can take over the actions of an employee, it can function on existing IT systems without time-consuming automation. In addition, the time to market is short, the robot works 100% accurately and the return on investment is often achieved within a year.
