[How Can Robots (RPA) Help You and Your Career? | Cynthia Libby](https://meetupfeed.io/talk/how-can-robots-rpa-help-you-and-your-career)
We’ve all had tasks where we had to do the same steps over and over again. For example, transferring data between systems that aren’t integrated. Boredom quickly sets in and we start making mistakes. We’d love to figure out a way to make those tasks quicker – or better yet go away completely. Cut/paste and macros help – but only go so far. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) does this and quite a bit more. Not with little flying robots but with smart software. This session will give you an understanding of RPA and what it can do, both as a tool to make your repetitive tasks easier and as a possible career opportunity.
