RPA Jargon discussion

RPA – Robotic Process Automation, can be associated with a lot of jargon. An explanation of the common terms is below.

Hyperautomation Hyperautomation is a combination of Automations with varying degrees of technical sophistication that is applied at scale to radically alter business processing.
IA Intelligent Automation is normally a combination of Artificial Intelligence with Robotic Process Automation.
IDP Intelligent Document Processing refers to the ability to understand the content elements of a document when the actual format is not pre-defined.
Low-code Low Code sometimes called No Code, is where the definition of the automation is achieved without using coding techniques such as loops, if statements, etc.
ML Machine Learning refers to the software's ability to learn from its processing in order to incrementally improve the quality of the result
NLP Natural Language Processing is a cognitive intelligence based methodology to interpret human languages
OCR Optical Character Recognition - the ability to identify characters from an image
Offshoring The transfer of activities that form part of a business process to be manually performed by labor in a different country
POC Proof of concept is a set of activities to verify a technical solution as the potential to deliver the expected functionality
RDA Robotic Desktop Automation
RPA Robotic Process Automation
ROC Robotic Operations Centre - the team responsible for the on-going monitoring of the software robots and the control over the release of new tasks for the robots as well as their software upgrades.
Smart RPA The combination of RPA with other "Intelligent" capability to broaden processing capability beyond well defined inputs and well defined decision criteria
