RPA mimics human behaviour in the computer and is built on existing user interfaces. Processes that have clear business logic, are standardised and have structured and digital data can be automated using RPA.
The RPA robot always operates according to current security standards and sensitive data may be encrypted or not stored. Organisations thus retain control over the work of the robot, which can only do what it is programmed to do.

✔️ Satisfied employees
✔️ Better service and shorter lead times
✔️ Better quality of processes
✔️ Standardization and control of workflows
