Digital Process Automation (DPA), another term for Business Process Automation, automates more complex business processes. DPA improves customer interactions, internal collaboration, and interactions with suppliers and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end goal for both RPA and DPA is to make the workplace more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/gina-schaefer-56380a8\/\">Gina Schaefer<\/a>, intelligent automation lead at Deloitte Consulting, <a href=\"https:\/\/searchcio.techtarget.com\/tip\/Process-automation-technologies-evolve-RPA-vs-BPA-vs-DPA\">told TechTarget that<\/a> &#8220;digital, business process and robotic process automation are essentially the same. When applied appropriately, these refer to comprehensive end-to-end process automation. Specifically, these terms refer to the use of scripted automation software to mimic human actions in the execution of rules-based &#8216;swivel chair&#8217; type tasks, typically where an individual accesses and processes data from multiple applications.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/franciscarden\/\">Francis Carden<\/a>, vice president at Pega, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboticsbusinessreview.com\/ai\/how-rpa-and-dpa-aim-to-end-workplace-inefficiencies\/\">said that<\/a> &#8220;by itself, RPA can deal with problems rooted in legacy systems that don\u2019t account for today\u2019s digital processes. A broader DPA strategy, by contrast, lets enterprises hit a &#8216;reset button&#8217; one process or application at a time, to create a foundation for their digital future. It uses several integrated and complementary tools to help companies address present and future needs in more fundamental ways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
