Is RPA replacing BPO?

In February 2017 I blogged about the likely increase in RPA adoption that will result from a US Visa clamp-down and the UK’s impending Brexit.

By touching upon the offshoring policies of the US and UK, I received more feedback than from any previous topic, so this blog further explores the continuing shift from offshore Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) to Robotic Process Automation (RPA).


Traditional automation technology – for example workload, process and release automation - has been done by technologists on behalf of the business users. And for good reason; it uses application programming interfaces(APIs) – documented apertures in the application, built to industry standards, through which programmers can interact with the application and use them for purposes like automation.


A fascinating article in The Economist 1843 magazine about teaching robots right from wrong and how AI is learning morality.


If Control-C and Control-V are key sequences you execute for much of your working time, you may be about to read some very welcome news.
