Though organizations automate their business ecosystem, they cannot completely abandon their legacy applications. Automation also has its own challenges. RPA solves both challenges by retaining the advantages of both legacy applications and modern automation. Simply put, RPA eases the use of Oracle ERP and is a step ahead of just plain automation. This ability to sweat legacy systems while driving efficiencies is a very attractive option. RPA driven Oracle ERP ensures faster, error free tasks and automated process optimization across organizations.

What processes RPA can automate
Rule driven processes like the ones found in financial services are the sweet spots for RPA in Oracle ERP. Once such tedious processes are broken down into detailed and logical steps, the bots can easily get them done, thereby allowing humans to focus more on subjective and interpersonal tasks.
