Robotic Process Automation (RPA), the transformation of existing processes performed by humans, generally repetitive and simple, into an automated digital process that requires little or no oversight or input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses are increasingly adopting RPA. Forrester estimates<\/a> the RPA market will grow to nearly $3 billion by 2021. Acumen Research and Consulting<\/a> estimates RPA to grow to $4.6 billion by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
