Brian Madden – Microsoft recently announced a new flow as part of their newly renamed\u00a0Power Automate workflow app<\/a>\u00a0called UI flow. What makes it stand apart from their previous flows is that it uses robotic process automation (RPA<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, RPA<\/strong> isn\u2019t a new product to the market by any measure, but we realize not everyone in EUC may understand what it is and what it provides. Additionally, RPA<\/strong> relates to the modernizing legacy apps conversation that we\u2019ve been having at BrianMadden.com for a long time now (pre-dates me for sure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common method to add automation to applications is through APIs, but not many older applications have exposed, documented APIs the way we think of them with modern apps. This is where robotic process automation comes into play.\u00a0RPA<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is designed to automate repetitious, high-volume processes where reducing errors is in everyone\u2019s best interest. It can be used to either automate a workflow entirely or speed up one that will also include partial human interaction. Read On:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
