Description

RPA is the future of work. Will you become a robot overlord before it’s too late?

Robotic process automation is one of the fastest-growing technologies out there, and it’s expected to replace a significant percentage of white collar jobs with software robots in the next few years!

The average salary for RPA is $115,000\year, and that’s expected to grow as the demand continues to increase. Make sure you learn how to build and maintain RPA bots before you miss your chance!

In this learning track, Automation Anywhere Certified Master Jordan Peralez from Afterburner Automation will give you the high level overview of robotic process automation including:

What Robotic Process Automation is and the types of digital processes that should be automated
How RPA technology interacts with your computer to automate digital processes
Common misconceptions between AI and RPA, as well as how they can be used in tandem
The benefits and challenges of implementing an RPA solution at your desk or at your company
Various industries utilizing RPA and examples of use cases

The goal of this learning track is to give you a basic understanding of robotic process automation technology so that you have a solid foundation to pursue further training in a specific RPA tool, such as Automation 360 by taking more of Afterburner Automation’s courses such as:
