Robotics Process Automation

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software technology that makes it easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that emulate human’s actions interacting with digital systems and software. Just like people, software robots can do things like navigate an application, complete the right keystrokes, navigate among various systems, identify, and extract data, and perform a wide range of defined actions.  Professionals from the CAI organization will deliver this presentation.
