5 Best books on RPA
October 09, 2024 | Author: Maria Lin
Here is my list of 5 most interesting books about Robotic Process Automation (RPA):
1. The Robotic Process Automation Handbook: A Guide to Implementing RPA Systems
Imagine a world where the mundane is no longer your problem. A world where an army of obedient robots does all the mind-numbing, repetitive tasks that once plagued your very existence. This book is essentially your hitchhiker’s guide to that world, complete with a manual for building and deploying these digital lackeys. It turns out you don’t need a PhD in robot linguistics to get your bots to behave, just a firm grasp of the basics and a willingness to let go of your stapler. With plenty of step-by-step instructions and tips on automating everything from data entry to sanity preservation, it's like an instruction manual for anyone who's ever thought, "Surely, there must be a lazier way to do this."
2. The Simple Implementation Guide to Robotic Process Automation
So you want robots, but you’re not a technical wizard, and neither is anyone else in the office (except Greg, but no one talks to Greg). Fret not! This book is essentially a documentary of one organization’s grand adventure into the land of robotic process automation, minus the dragons and with a lot more spreadsheets. The author walks you through the harrowing choices of tech adoption, the inevitable skirmishes between IT and business teams (which, to be fair, mostly involve uncomfortable meetings and the occasional passive-aggressive email), and finally, the triumphant automation of things you didn’t even know could be automated—like capturing knowledge from pre-retirement employees. No robots will be harmed in the making of your automated future, but perhaps a few coffee machines will finally get a break.
3. Intelligent Automation: Welcome To The World Of Hyperautomation
Ah, hyperautomation—if automation were a superhero, this would be its cosmic-level upgrade. This book takes you on a wild ride through the labyrinth of machine learning, NLP, and the other buzzwords that pop up when computers start thinking for themselves. It’s a bit like opening a portal to a world where algorithms have opinions, and your coffee maker has aspirations. The author makes a convincing argument that if you’re not on board with intelligent automation, you’re essentially still faxing your memos in a world full of self-driving everything. Packed with futuristic glimpses of society (somewhat terrifying, but mostly convenient), this is your comprehensive crash course in the future, whether you’re ready or not.
4. Digital Workforce: Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency using Robotic Process Automation
Setting up your digital workforce might sound like recruiting a team of invisible, highly efficient interns who don’t ask for raises or lunch breaks—and that’s exactly what this book promises. With sage advice on picking the right RPA vendors (beware: not all bots are created equal), and tips on building an RPA strategy that won’t fall apart faster than a DIY flatpack desk, it’s all about finding the perfect match for your business needs. It’s not just about shoving robots into your processes willy-nilly; it’s about doing it with finesse, and maybe just a bit of style. By the end, you’ll be automating things you didn’t even know you needed to, while feeling like the overlord of an unseen empire of bots.
5. Intelligent Automation: Rules, Relationships and Robots
In the grand play of business, rules are the script, relationships are the actors, and robots… well, they’re the stagehands trying desperately to keep everything from catching fire. This book tackles the backstage drama of using AI and machine learning to adjust business processes on the fly—sort of like hiring a fortune teller who also happens to be very good with algorithms. With fascinating case studies (because who doesn’t love a good "how we tamed the robots" story?) and practical advice for the modern-day automation enthusiast, this guide will make you feel like you’re taming the wild west of business process management. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to feel like the conductor of a very complex, somewhat unpredictable, but ultimately thrilling robotic orchestra.
