Benefits and Challenges of RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
                     BENEFITS AND 
CHALLENGES OF RPA 
(ROBOTIC PROCESS 
AUTOMATION)
INTRODUCTION
Robotic process automation 
(RPA), also known as software 
robotics, uses intelligent 
automation technologies to 
perform repetitive office tasks of 
human workers.

Greater 
resilience
RPA robots can ramp up quickly 
to match workload peaks and 
respond to big demand spikes.

Why is RPA 
transformative?
Advanced robots can even 
perform cognitive processes, like 
interpreting text, engaging in 
chats and conversations, 
understanding unstructured 
data, and applying advanced 
machine learning models to 
make complex decisions.

Where can RPA 
be used?
Today, RPA is driving new 
efficiencies and freeing people 
from repetitive tedium across a 
broad swath of industries and 
processes. 
Enterprises in industries ranging 
from financial services to 
healthcare to manufacturing to 
the public sector to retail and far 
beyond have implemented RPA 
in areas as diverse as finance, 
compliance, legal, customer 
service, operations, and IT.

What features 
and capabilities 
are important in 
RPA technology?
To build and manage an 
enterprise-wide RPA program, 
you need technology that can go 
far beyond simply helping you 
automate a single process. 
You require a platform that can 
help you create and manage a 
new enterprise-wide capability 
and help you become a fully 
automated enterprise.

Why is RPA the 
fastest-growing 
enterprise software 
in the world?
When you combine RPA’s 
quantifiable value with its ease 
of implementation relative to 
other enterprise technology, it’s 
easy to see why RPA adoption 
has been accelerating 
worldwide.

Is RPA the same 
as artificial 
intelligence (AI)?
RPA is not AI; AI is not RPA. But 
the combination of RPA and AI 
unlocks massive new 
possibilities for enterprises 
everywhere. 
For one thing, RPA technology 
now makes it possible to insert 
advanced AI skills in the form of 
machine learning models, 
natural language processing 
(NLP), character and image 
recognition, and more into RPA 
robots.
