Robotic Process Automation
Robotic Process Automaton
RPA is the application of technology that automates administrative task workflows and processes using software bots.
How Does Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Work?
RPA has three functional components:
- 1. Business process management (process) for designing and/or recording automated processes
- 2. Software robot (bot) for interacting with business apps and executing automated processes
- 3. Robot controller (orchestrator) for scheduling, remote control, monitoring, and asset management
Process
Business process workflow
For building and maintaining pre-automated processes
Bot
Software agent
For interacting with business apps and executing automated processes
Orchestrator

Micro Focus Robotic Process Automation:
Ignite Enterprise Productivity
Business users spend too much time on mundane, repetitive, error-prone tasks. Micro Focus® Ro- botic Process Automation (RPA) introduces a new way of doing things—giving you the power to build, secure, and scale automated business processes, from legacy mainframes to the latest SaaS apps. Welcome your new robo workers, liberate human brainpower, and ignite enterprise productivity
Micro Focus RPA highlights:
ROBO POWER
Save robotic work for the robots. Robots can mimic human actions to perform everyday tasks. They save time. They cut costs. And they free human employees to focus on more important things
EASY TO USE DESIGN STUDIO
Design automations your way, visually or with code. An intuitive interface makes designing sophisticated end-to-end RPA workflows as painless as recording simple actions.
CROSS PLATFORM CONNECTIONS
Build connected robots with one technology-rich product Record UI actions for hundreds of applications. Then combine UI actions with IT operation tasks to connect business processes
SCALABLE ROBOTS
Scale your robots up or down as workloads change. A worker-queue-based architecture makes it possible to run hundreds or thousands of robots at once – there are no limits.
CENTRALIZED SECURITY
Control your robots completely from a central dashboard. View their actions in detailed logs. With unique IDs and encrypted role-based credentials, your robots are enterprise ready.
RESILIENT ROBOTS
Using advanced object recognition technology, your robots can detect more than 600 UI objects and automatically adapt to UI changes. You’ll spend less time on maintenance as a result.
Deploy RPA on a secure and scalable platform
How Micro Focus Delivers RPA
Micro Focus® test automation solutions offer tools that allow companies to easily create bots to automate rule-driven business pro- cesses. Integrated with Micro Focus Opera- tions Orchestration, complete actions are automated using workflows that link steps to standardize RPA processes.
Micro Focus supports and extends typical RPA capabilities with:
- A proven automation engine with a wide array of powerful recording options
- Seamless failure management through recovery procedures
- Reliable UI automation with more than 40 technologies, including SAP, Web, WPF, .NET, and Java
- Pure image-based object recognition (e.g., Flash, Citrix)
- Reusable business process description- based automation
- Custom libraries for UI, API, and CLI (command-line interface) business actions with predefined connectors for automation
- High level summaries, and deep technical reports for error root-cause analysis and resolution
- Encoding methods designed to ensure the security and integrity of passwords
- Rich out-of-the-box orchestration content for any use case, any technology, with more than 8,000 operations and workflows
- Extensible, open, vendor agnostic orchestrator to invoke from any place, integrate with anything using REST APIs, command line API, or integration wizards
- Secure, scalable, high-availability orchestration architecture
