ABPMP Philadelphia Chapter

Understanding how Robotic Process Automation (RPA) aligns with BPM.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a topic on the forefront of many business leaders’ minds as business needs and market demands change in our lightning-fast digital age. While RPA may be part of the solution to many of today’s business challenges, analysts like Forrester assess that there are aspects of RPA that companies are often not aware of as they go down an implementation path.

​

"RPA is showing progress as the precursor to tomorrow’s digital workforce…(it) works in a simple fashion today automating repetitive tasks but without insight into the end-to-end process or business goals. RPA will benefit from the advanced rules management and process control available within low-code and BPM platforms." - Craig LeClair, Forrester Research.

At this ABPMP meeting we will discuss:

​

-The Definition of RPA and its applicable use cases

​

-Guidance from analysts like Gartner and Forrester on RPA suitability in conjunction with the broader enterprise automation roadmap

​

-How to offset RPA pitfalls with tools like Business Process Management to ensure successful deployment and business value.
