- 4. 4 I’ve worked inabout every area of Software starting with a high school internship in 1980 working on Dr Pepper bottling reports. One of the things I hated as an intern was when I had to look up bottler numbers and write them on a sheet of paper. I quickly decided that I hated doing repetitive tasks and started automating anything that I could. For many years I traveled as a consultant and got to see some cool places. I was in automated testing prior to doing RPA. I have worked with several different RPA tools. Today I work for UiPath – an RPA software company. Who am I? www.linkedin.com/in/cynthialibby

- 6. What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)? RoboticProcess Automation allows anyone to configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process. RPA robots utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate applications just like humans do. They interpret, trigger responses, and communicate with other systems in order to perform a vast variety of repetitive tasks.

- 38. 38 Recommendations / WhatI Wish I Would Have Known • Be diligent with your Work/Personal life balance. • Value your skills and experience – keep adding to your toolbox. You never know when an “old skill” will prove helpful. • Don’t panic if you get laid off. If you take something below your skills/salary it takes a long time to recover. • The best computer/software/company may not last – don’t stay tied to one too long • Keep up with your contacts - Cynthia Libby LinkedIn • Always keep backups!
