Question 1

What is a 'center of excellence' (CoE) in the context of an enterprise RPA program?

Question 2

When automating an Excel-based process, which approach is MOST efficient in modern RPA tools?

Accepted Answer

Using native Excel/workbook activities that interact with the file directly without opening the UI

Native workbook activities interact with Excel files via their object model or file format, which is faster and more reliable than UI automation.

Question 3

Comprehensive logging allows developers and operations teams to trace what the bot did, identify failures, and meet compliance requirements.
