Robotic
Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic Process Automation isn’t just
about robots. It is a lot more about the automation of processes than anything
else. Before computers, most processes involved some human intervention. Humans
ran even manufacturing machines, and large-scale manufacturing employs thousands
of people.
Although Forrester Research estimates RPA automation will
threaten the livelihood of 230 million or more knowledge workers or
approximately 9 percent of the global workforce, RPA is also creating new jobs
while altering existing jobs. McKinsey finds that less than 5 percent of
occupations can be totally automated, but about 60 percent can be partially
automated.
For you as an IT professional looking to the future and
trying to understand new technology trends, RPA offers plenty of career
opportunities, including developer, project manager, business analyst, solution
architect, and consultant. And these jobs pay well. An RPA developer can
earn over ?534K per year - making it the next technology trend you must keep a
watch on!
