Duration: 1 Day
Course Overview
Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that enables computer software to emulate and integrate actions typically performed by humans interacting with digital systems. These include computers. The software that executes these actions is known as a robot. Examples of tasks that RPA robots are able to automate include capturing data, running applications and communicating with other systems. By automating processes that are highly manual, repetitive and rule-based, RPA solutions can yield greater productivity, create efficiency and thereby reduce costs. Common internal processes across sectors such as banking, retail, technology and the government, which can benefit from RPA include HR, IT services, supply chain, finance and accounting, as well as customer management.
The course builds upon foundational training that participants have undergone in robotics process automation, to introduce more complex workflows, scripting and use of UiPath Orchestrator for scheduling tasks. Participants will follow up on their previously acquired basic proficiency in RPA tools to write their own RPA bots. These will allow them to automate more complex work processes in their organisations, once they have completed the course.
This module is part of Professional Certificate in Emerging and Disruptive Technologies and Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence for Business.
