Top 10 Robotic Process Automation Companies of 2018
Over the years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has scaled up to become a fast-growing offering in every business domain offering automation and support from assembly lines to customer query handling. Analytics Insight predicts the RPA market to reach $7.8 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 58% from 2017.
What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
RPA involves organizations to deploy robots, bots powered by AI and machine learning capabilities to handle tasks which are regular, and repetitive like queries, transactions, calculations and records maintenance. RPA technology works with a software robot or bot which is programmed to operate like a human worker and can log into applications to manage data, calculations, complete tasks and log out.
What goes for RPA is the efficiency with which the robots can perform routine tasks day in and day out without taking holidays or reporting sick or late for work. The huge costs involved in robot acquisition, maintenance and day to day operations is something that requires business organizations to have a separate budget outlay and dedicated IT human resource. Business enterprises have to value the potential ROI which can be generated through RPA implementation before taking the robotic plunge.
