Agencies and organizations across the public and private sectors have made a concerted effort in recent years to adapt their workforce to "high-value" work, leveraging emerging technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) to reduce errors, improve compliance and eliminate repetitive administrative tasks, freeing up workers to perform more high-value work.

In order to keep up with the speed of business, there is a pressing need to make programmability and automation an inherent part of operational IT processes. Agencies and organizations are turning to emerging automation technology to expedite tasks of varying complexity across multiple functional areas including finance, acquisition, IT, human resources, mission organizations, security and mission assurance.

The wave of automation adoption continues at a rapid pace with positive and direct mission-impact. In the public sector, RPA is changing how government works—and in turn, RPA continues to receive strong federal acceptance. Earlier this year, the Federal RPA Community of Practice released an RPA Playbook cataloging automation best practices in a way that government agencies new to RPA could use to accelerate the adoption of RPA. Today, automation is the foundation of modern IT and the cornerstone for future digital transformation.

World Wide Technology recently joined industry experts from F5 and Red Hat for a webinar to discuss the value that automation as a service can bring to an organization.
