Globally, trends are moving towards Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Intelligent Automation (IA). Organizations need to strategically consider not only the operating model but also how Intelligent Automation will impact people. Robotic Process Automation differs from traditional software by working at the user interface level, replicating the exact actions of a human user and in essence creating, a digital workforce.
