What is RPA, why is it being called the most disruptive technology to impact business in decades, and how will it affect you and your organization?

Join guest instructor, John Pavley, SVP Software Engineering at Viacom, for this special, one-time only, intensive workshop on RPA.

RPA robots are capable of mimicking most human user actions. They log into applications, move files and folders, copy and paste data, fill in forms, extract structured and semi-structured data from documents, scrape browsers, and more. For example, this bank redesigned its claims process by deploying 85 bots to run 13 processes, handling 1.5 million requests per year. The bank added capacity equivalent to more than 200 full-time employees at approximately 30 percent of the cost of recruiting more staff. For businesses, part of the appeal of using bots is that they are typically low-cost and easy to implement. But, they can be problematic if not implemented correctly.

John Pavely will provide a thorough overview of RPA and its impact on enterprise companies, small businesses and startups. He will also review how executives, managers, and employees are impacted by RPA, and how they can use RPA to improve their output and explore new career opportunities. He will also discuss the hard questions executives and managers need to ask themselves before embracing technology-driven change in their organizations. 

And finally, through hands-on in-class exercises (bring your laptop!), attendees will learn how to develop real RPA processes. This workshop is open for everyone, regardless of your technical background (tech and non-tech are welcome).
