As per the  statistics of HFS Research “ The market for enterprise robotic software and services is growing at a breakneck pace of 47% growth in 2018 to surpass $1.5 billion.”

Robotic Process Automation is being increasingly adopted by various industrial sectors owing to its ability to reduce human efforts, minimizing errors and increasing production efficiency. Joining the league of Cloud and Big Data, RPA is a relatively new branch of process automation. It makes use of software with artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities to automate high volume, repetitive tasks.

But considering that it is a still a “work under progress,” There are many misconceptions about RPA making business-owners apprehensive about adopting them in their sector. Make sure that you don't give any credence to the following misconceptions the next time you hear them:

RPA INCLUDES ROBOTS:

This is a common misconception, owing to the use of Robotic but RPA does not mean humanoids like robots are performing all the processes. Instead, software codes perform tasks, as ordered by humans and streamline the workflow through machine learning.

RPA CAN BE IMPLEMENTED WITHOUT IT DEPARTMENT:

There is a wide belief that RPA is not driven by the IT department, which is false. RPA includes software, robots and other IT infrastructure. Without the support and integration service of IT department, n robot would be able to operate the computers, access the application essential for performing the tasks. Make use of VisualCron proficient IT automation and RPA Software and tools for all-encompassing automation.

RPS IS AI VIRTUAL AUXILIARY:

Most of the business-owners hold the belief that RPA is an Artificial Intelligence Virtual Assistant. RPA works on rule-based algorithms and has to be fed information, assign the task to capture, process and interpret streams of data, trigger appropriate responses and communicate with other processes.

IT IS FULLY AUTOMATED:

RPA is not a fully automated system. The information and the pattern have to be fed to the system by a human. The automation increases efficiency by performing the repetitive tasks with maximum accuracy and in less time. This eliminates wasting valuable time and resources by forcing their employees to do manual, repetitive work which is prone to error that might only reflect in the output.

ONLY LARGE CORPORATIONS CAN AFFORD IT:

This is common hype surrounded with implementing an  IT Process Automation. When compared to the traditional business processing techniques, RPA is relatively cost-effective as well as easy to apply. Adopting VisualCron RPA, you won't have to replace your existing system, and you will get foreground as well as background automation, made by customer-driven development approach at an affordable price.

RPA CAN ONLY BE IMPLEMENTED IN SELECT-FEW DOMAINS:

RPA, unlike the common belief, can not only be implemented in sectors relying heavily on software. It can be applied anywhere to reduce the monotony of repetitive tasks, the errors, increasing the efficiency and enhancing overall output be it healthcare, manufacturing, retail, etc.

Now that the misconceptions about RPA have been busted make sure you implement an adept RPA system like that of VisualCron, which unlike any of its contemporary RPA providers offers not only Foreground automation but also robust Background automation providing you an added and necessary benefit with RPA technology.
