The book provides its readers with an overview of the technology and its potential and helps them to place RPA in the context of process management. The readers receive concrete instructions for the implementation of an RPA with all necessary steps, such as adequate process selection, process preparation and many more. Application examples - many of them from the banking industry, but easily transferable to other industries - provide readers with valuable experience and offer support in the successful introduction and application of the technology. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in der Finanzwirtschaft by Mario Smeets, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, sothat the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The book is intended for future or already experienced users of RPA and for anyone interested in the technology. Process or technology managers at all hierarchical levels of IT and organizational areas, as well as users and managers in the business departments - across all industries.
