For an RPA implementation your goal is to transact in any software application or website, in the same way a human would, in order to automate repetitive tasks like setting or fetching data. Whereas, with BPMS you aim at optimizing the business process to make human decision-making faster, creating alignment of all the resources in line with the corporate strategy of a business enterprise. Real-life situations practically require a combination of straight-through and human-decisions. If RPA fails the BPM can take it over and easily route the request to a workflow where humans are engaged to complete a task .
