What is RPA?
Robotic Processing Automation is a cost-saving productivity tool that can mimic, emulate and automate repetitive, high-volume, labour-intensive processes including data entry, data extraction and passing data to/from different applications.
Our RPA product SST also provides linkage to legacy systems.
