Robotic Process Automation (RPA) stands for the software-supported operation of software solutions via their user interface. The primary goal that RPA seeks to achieve is the automated execution of routine tasks that previously required human intervention. However, the potential of RPA to improve processes in the long term is very limited. Automating processes and bridging front-end media disruptions leads to a variety of dependencies and conditions, which are summarized in this article. The path to a sustainable enterprise architecture (and the processes and systems comprised therein) requires open, adaptive systems with modern architecture that are characterized by a high degree of interoperability at various levels.
