Robotic automation involves a practice in which a machine or computer software mimics human actions in order to complete rule-based tasks. In context of IT industry, robotic automation is accomplished by using automation software, which utilizes the Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
Some basic processes in IT, which can be managed through robotic process automation include access management, request management, availability management, monitoring, incident management, and problem management. Robotic automation helps reduce the operating costs while additionally supporting agility in order to meet the customers' varying and evolving needs. The robotic automation software tools help automate existing user actions and thereby, facilitate IT companies in incurring cost savings as robotic software can replace the employees performing similar repetitive tasks.
Key factors driving the global IT robotic automation market include cost benefits and improved efficiency over manual process handling, ability to leverage other application software without integration, increasing adoption in finance and accounting (F&A) sector and potential alternative to offshore outsourcing among others. The robotic process automation reduces the need for human intervention in routine repetitive tasks and thus creates a virtual workforce capable of handling large number of repetitive tasks. Further, the automation occurs at the GUI layer thereby eliminating the need of integration with other systems. Moreover, robots can work 24x7x365 eradicating the constraints of human labor to work for limited hours. Thus, significant reductions in cost, time and labor can be achieved by implementing robotic process automation.
