What Is Xerox's Robotic Process Automation?

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "There has to be a smarter way," while handling repetitive tasks such as entering invoices, onboarding new hires, or managing customer service emails? These routine activities drain valuable time and energy that could be better spent on work that truly advances your business.

This is precisely where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can make a difference. As part of Xerox Capture and Content Services, RPA helps streamline your business by handling the boring stuff so your team can focus on higher-impact work like strategy, innovation, and growth.

As longtime Xerox solutions partners, we’ve worked with countless organizations who are ready to automate the busywork but aren’t sure where to start. In this blog, we’ll break down what Xerox RPA is, how it fits into Xerox’s broader digital ecosystem, and whether it might make sense for your team.
