Welcome to RPA

If two years ago, anyone had mentioned RPA as a trend, we would immediately think of AI and robots in general.

Not a major tech disruption across companies, across borders, across verticals, and across the entire world.

And also, a technology that has an entire country afraid of the future, because we don’t know what the final effect of this change will be.

We can hope, but the long-term effect of RPA on a nation so dependent on outsourcing of manual work — low cost work — should be huge.

However, that may not be the case. Surprisingly, experts forecast that Robotic Process Automation may actually — create more jobs than it destroys.

Should you be scared?

Only if you are afraid of change and of learning.

Otherwise, be extremely excited!

So, in case you don’t know what RPA is, read on.
