Take Control of Your RPA Bots
Cut RPA maintenance costs, minimize technical debt, and modernize your architecture
Task automation like RPA can result in a value trap
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a popular choice for automating tasks, often replacing manual keystrokes in software that can’t communicate with other systems through APIs. RPA excels as a tactical solution to automate tasks that were previously paper-based or required manual input.
However, a growing number of RPA bots across business units can result in a value trap, creating compounded technical and organizational debt and leading to a diminishing return on investment.
RPA bots quickly prove to be brittle, requiring a high level of maintenance and contributing to technical debt. Organizations struggle to manage bot security, keep RPA scripts up-to-date, and fix scripts when they break.
Camunda supports RPA modernization
Camunda helps you orchestrate RPA bots while working toward modernization.
Step 1: Use Camunda to monitor, alert on, and analyze RPA bot activities across your organization.
Step 2: Use the BPMN and DMN standards to orchestrate RPA bots in the same end-to-end processes as other technologies.
Step 3: Take advantage of the process orchestration you have in place to modernize by replacing bots with APIs or microservices.
“Camunda enables us to orchestrate the many RPA bots, APIs, and other tasks within our automated processes. The catalog for RPA services allows us to more easily integrate existing RPA bots into our processes and eventually completely replace them with more robust APIs.”
Christoph Anzer, Project Manager RPA

Process orchestration for RPA bots and more
Camunda is a universal process orchestrator for RPA bots, microservices, AI/ML tools, and more. It works side-by-side with your RPA implementation to ensure that you benefit from RPA-based task automation without losing sight of end-to-end processes that contain:
- Tasks that must be done by knowledge workers
- Tasks that are performed by an external system and can be completed via an API
- Events that trigger a process to start running
- Events that are waiting for something to happen in a process
- Events that happen unexpectedly
