Description

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables automating business processes using software robots. Software robots interpret, trigger responses, and communicate with other systems just like humans do. Robotic processes and intelligent automation tools can help businesses improve the effectiveness of services faster and at a lower cost than current methods. Exploring RPA | Robotic Process Automation is a lab intensive, hands-on course that provides participants with an excellent foundation for their automation journey, with a special focus on one of the most popular RPA tools: UiPath. Robotic Process Automation takes you on a journey from understanding the basics of RPA to advanced implementation techniques. You will become oriented in the UiPath interface and learn about its workflow. Once you are familiar with the environment, we will get hands-on with automating different applications such as Excel, SAP, Windows and web applications, screen and web scraping, working with user events, as well as understanding exceptions and debugging. By the end of the course, you'll not only be able to build your first software bot, but also, you'll wire it to perform various automation tasks with the help of best practices for bot deployment.
