In this episode, we unpack how Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has matured from basic rule-based scripting to a pivotal component of enterprise hyper-automation—now integrated with process discovery, BPMS, and AI/ML technologies. We'll examine why early RPA often faltered due to poor process design, how forward-looking organizations now combine attended and unattended automation for strategic impact, and what true success looks like (hint: only about 8% of firms have more than 50 bots in production). Plus, we share a real-world success story: a US bank that used RPA alongside IDP and AI/ML to digitize and classify 30 million documents in six weeks, slashing Opex by half and achieving 98% auto-classification accuracy—showing that RPA skills are now central to automation maturity.
