In this new normal era due to COVID-19 pandemic, many companies may have troubles in improving office operations and IT-related operations. Increasing productivity by improving work efficiency and making effective use of people and time are extremely important in running business.
In recent years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become one of the interested technologies in many countries all over the world. It is a solution to automate office operations by using software robots to support repetitive tasks normally done by human such as sending e-mails, entering data, and creating reports. By using robots, you can reduce time in daily work and produce outputs quickly.

Currently, there are many RPA tools that can be tailored to support various tasks of each organization. iCONEXT is skillful at using various RPA tools to develop software robots with the functions required by our customers. In particular, we have experience in using “UiPath”, an automation platform with a significant market share in the world among RPA tools, to deveop the software robots.
