With each passing day, companies irrespective of their size are competing against each other to innovate a much efficient solution for Iterative tasks and decrease labor costs. Rising like a phoenix from automation and smart technologies is the software, Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA automates the repetitive activities in the interest of improved effectiveness and efficiency rather than actual robots performing human tasks. The technology is progressing at a steady pace with dynamic developments occurring daily. In today's world, where SMEs identify every opportunity to generate a higher ROI, automation is rampant, embracing efficient use of human resources and a future-oriented approach to business tasks. When it comes to RPA, the focus is invariably on the management of activities, responsibilities, and duties ideally fulfilled by humans. With the rapid development of RPA, people have expressed grave concern about their job security and the fact that RPA can potentially jeopardize their well-being. But, the goal of RPA is to lower the amount of human intervention in the execution of monotonously structured tasks. This altercation has both proponents and opponents on both sides of the spectrum. Essentially, the RPA technology only automates those tasks that humans aren't keen on working for hours to days in a mundane manner. Smart Process Automation, machine learning tools, and protocols assist the workforce of an organization to effectively achieve digital transformation. Additionally, AI technology integrated with RPA can fuel enhanced productivity, efficiency, and interaction among technology and human employees. In 2020, HFS research predicts strong growth in RPA adoption and the creation of newer avenues. In this edition of CIO Applications, Industry leaders and veterans have shared their insightful experiences and results that reduce snags in the workforce and increase employee engagement by implementing value-added activities. The future of workforce enrichment belongs to RPA, and enterprises from all over the world have invested in this technology to optimize organizational efficiency, profitability, and effectiveness.
