Abstract

Digitalization has been shaping the ways how we work and live for a considerable length of time. Businesses’ competitiveness is partially determined by their capability to adopt and leverage new technologies. One of the latest trends in digitalization is the automation of repetitive, low-cognitive human tasks in white-collar jobs. A tool that was created to automate low-cognitive human tasks, Robotic Process Automation utilizes software robots to address this topic. RPA gains attraction because it is easily scalable, and implemented at a rather low cost and the use of it doesn’t require prior programming skills. This research relies on existing literature and identifies the benefits and challenges of Robotic Process Automation.
