Introduction to VisualCron RPA
What is it?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) continues automation through the last mile — on a desktop, on the web, or on a hybrid of both. Where workflows, processes, or tasks pause for human intervention, RPA addresses manual gaps, enables end-to-end automation, and increases the efficiency of individual employees and the entire business.
Getting started
Robotic Process Automation refers to the ability to record a sequence of human interactions (keystrokes and mouse movements and selections) with a program and play them back on demand.
VisualCron RPA is designed for banks, credit unions, and insurance companies for use in tandem with OpCon, extending its functionality and usefulness.
FAQs
What does VisualCron RPA automate that OpCon alone cannot? VisualCron RPA automates interactions with applications that lack APIs or scheduled-job interfaces — typically desktop or web applications that require keyboard and mouse input.
Who is VisualCron RPA designed for? VisualCron RPA is designed for banks, credit unions, and insurance companies that already use OpCon for workload automation and want to extend that automation into manual, UI-driven processes.
