Driving Business Value Through Robotic Process Automation

Description

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging technology that continues to grow in popularity and which is starting to play a role in the way public servants work. RPA concepts are being applied to everyday business problems to reduce the manual workload and allow employees to focus on more meaningful work and devote more time to better serving Canadians.

Join us for this half-day event featuring executive panel discussions and showcase presentations that highlight the ways this new technology is being applied today in the Government of Canada. Participants will gain insights from departments and agencies that have experience with RPA concepts and learn how to determine which government processes are ideal for automation and how to collaborate to obtain an enterprise-wide approach to implementing RPA.
