Robotic Process Automation (RPA) speeds up and makes workflows more efficient. Gartner says that RPA was the fastest-growing technology<\/a> in 2018, and Forrester says that RPA software sales will reach $2.4 billion in 2020<\/a>. but businesses often struggle when trying to scale a successful departmental RPA success to the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
