Ultimate Guide to RPA (Robotic Process Automation)

Robotic process automation is a hot commodity in today's enterprises. In just about every industry and across business units -- from finance and HR to IT and marketing -- RPA's software robots are automating routine and often mind-numbing work formerly done by humans. Its impact has been described as transformational and disruptive. Still, RPA software is not without risks. For starters, not every work task lends itself to robotic process automation. Technical problems, security issues and vendor volatility, for example, can undermine RPA's vaunted upsides -- or worse, cause implementations to fail. And, as with any fast-growing, wildly popular technology, misconceptions about RPA are legion.
