What is Robotic Automation?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is designed to mirror humans actions within IT applications. It can reduce the human resources required for performing routine tasks like documentation and registrations. For a growing number of organisations, it’s is a preferred method of improving the speed of business to service level objectives. An added advantage of RPA is that it's cost-effective to implement.

RPA – or unattended automations – is designed to execute tasks and interactions, independent of the user. With RPA, the bot can run automation on its own. This is in contrast to Robotic Desktop Automation (RDA) – or attended automations – that is designed to execute tasks and interactions, together with a user, helping the user complete a full process or parts of a process.

Unattended automation is structured approach that may be configured or programmed through rule-based languages or code scripts. Some RPA tools have chosen a route, where automations can be configured by means of no-code building blocks. At Sirenia we know that developing robust and reusable automations, require a certain amount of development practice, and thus we don’t believe in the no-code paradigm for automations. Our Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supports developing automations in JavaScript or TypeScript.
