Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to software that can be easily programmed to do basic tasks across processes just as human workers do. The software robot can perform tasks with multiple steps and applications, such as taking received forms, sending a receipt message, checking forms for completeness, filing the form in a folder, and updating a spreadsheet with the name of the form, the date filed, and other details.

RPA software is designed to reduce the burden of repetitive, simple tasks on employees and free them to focus on more rewarding, high-value initiatives, such as customer service. Yet to develop and implement effective RPA technology, businesses must make sure they comply with various IT requirements, especially related to controls, governance, and security.

In this white paper, we will identify a number of IT compliance “building blocks,” and more, we’ll show you how you can achieve these best practices in your own environment when using the UiPath Enterprise Platform.
