Robotic Process Automation

What We Deliver

Automation for the Systems Integration Can't Reach

Legacy systems, mainframes, and applications without APIs create automation blind spots, the processes conventional integration can't touch. SorceTek's RPA practice deploys software robots that interact with these systems at the user interface, automating data entry, extraction, and transactions in any application a person can operate. We stay platform-flexible and recommend the right tool for your environment and licences, and pair RPA with BPA so it's used precisely where it belongs. Practical, security-first automation for small and midsize businesses in Texas and nationwide.

UI-Based Automation

Robots log in, navigate, copy, paste, and fill forms across legacy systems and mainframes that have no API to integrate with.

Cross-Application Flows

One robot moves a process across multiple disconnected applications in sequence, bridging systems that can't be wired together.

Attended & Unattended

Robots work alongside staff on repetitive steps, or run fully autonomously in the background on a schedule or system trigger.

Our Process

How We Deliver Robotic Process Automation

Identify Candidates

We find repetitive, rule-based tasks in systems without APIs: the high-volume manual work where robots return the most time.

Platform Selection

We recommend the right tool for your environment and licences, whether Power Automate, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or open-source.

Build the Robot

We record and configure the robot to operate the application exactly as a trained user would, with logic for variations and errors.

Test & Harden

We test against real screens and edge cases, add exception handling, and confirm the robot fails safely when something changes.

Deploy & Monitor

We deploy attended or unattended, set up scheduling and triggers, and monitor runs and logs so failures surface immediately.

FAQ

Common Questions About RPA

What is robotic process automation?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software robots that mimic human actions in applications, such as logging in, navigating menus, copying and pasting data, filling forms, and triggering transactions, exactly as a person would but faster, without errors, and 24/7. It's especially valuable for automating processes in legacy systems that lack modern APIs.

When should we use RPA vs BPA?

Use BPA when your systems have APIs and the process is structured. That route is faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. Use RPA when you need to automate systems without APIs, or processes spanning multiple legacy applications that can't be integrated directly. Many programmes use both: BPA for orchestration, RPA for specific legacy interactions.

What RPA platforms does SorceTek use?

We're platform-flexible and design RPA solutions on UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Microsoft Power Automate, or open-source frameworks depending on your environment and licence preferences. For most mid-market clients we recommend Power Automate Desktop (included with Microsoft 365) or N8N-based automation with targeted RPA components where needed.

What's the difference between attended and unattended RPA?

Attended robots run on a user's machine and work alongside them, handling repetitive steps on demand while the person manages exceptions. Unattended robots run autonomously in the background, on a schedule or triggered by an event, with no human present. We choose the model that fits each process.

Will robots break when our applications update?

UI changes can affect robots, which is why we build resilient selectors, add exception handling so a robot fails safely rather than acting wrongly, and monitor every run. When an application changes, the robot is quick to adjust because the logic is configured visually, not hard-coded.

Is RPA secure for sensitive transactions?

Yes. Robots run under controlled, least-privilege credentials, every action is logged for audit, and we can deploy unattended robots in secured environments. RPA actually reduces risk by removing manual re-keying and producing a consistent, traceable record of every transaction.
