The Robotic Process Automation Handbook
Description
Using practical aspects of implementing the technology (based on case studies and industry best practices), you'll see how companies have been able to realize substantial ROI (Return On Investment) with their implementations, such as by lessening the need for hiring or outsourcing. By understanding the core concepts of RPA, you'll also see that the technology significantly increases compliance - leading to fewer issues with regulations - and minimizes costly errors.
RPA software revenues have recently soared by over 60 percent, which is the fastest ramp in the tech industry, and they are expected to exceed $1 billion by the end of 2019. It is generally seamless with legacy IT environments, making it easier for companies to pursue a strategy of digital transformation and can even be a gateway to AI. The Robotic Process Automation Handbook puts everything you need to know into one place to be a part of this wave.
