Why RPA
Develop other
skills
Specialization
Innovation Focus on business Sense of
gratification
Time waits for no man. If you want to make a move, make it now.
Working in RPA is cool as you are more likely to be enthralled by the application of Artificial Intelligence in
different industries, but truth be told, RPA is not for everyone.
Only individuals with great attention to detail, curious, analytical, logical and problem-solving skills are more
likely to enjoy working in such field

A work world where “automation first” is the first thought when an employee needs help to accomplish a task or
improve a work process. The first question will be, “How can I automate this task to improve my efficiency and
effectiveness?”, rather than trying to execute all work manually.
The Automation First Mindset
The automation first three-pronged approach:
A Robot for Every Person
Just as Bill Gates envisioned a world with a PC for every desktop, UiPath envisions a world with a robot for every person.
When every person has a robot to help with mundane tasks, it frees them to use time for higher-level work.
Open and Free Collaboration
In business, cooperation and competition are deeply co-dependent. Technologies, too, can work together, and can also
work with people. Ideas can mix, mingle, and make magic. By facilitating these unions, whether through our community,
our partners or through a combination of both, UiPath creates an environment to nurture automation first and to
accelerate human achievement.
Robots Learn Skills
We’re enabling robots to learn new skills through AI and machine learning. To help humans, robots not only must do the
grunt work, but they need to be able to act intelligently. With AI and machine learning, robots can extend the scope of
work they complete beyond rules-based-action to judgment tasks.
