Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is now available as a native capability of Oracle Integration.
What is RPA?
RPA uses software robots to automate manual repetitive tasks performed everyday by your employees, such as mundane data entry and transaction processing tasks. Automating such tasks not only frees those valuable resources for more strategic activities but also improves business process efficiency and effectiveness.
RPA works by using simple tools to train robots how to use applications, just like humans do, through the application user interface. Building automations becomes accessible to both technical and nontechnical users, making it possible to innovate at speed and scale. RPA excels where you need to automate tasks in applications without APIs or want to quickly create an automation without engaging specialized skillsets or disrupting current operations.
Oracle Integration: Your Business Automation Platform
Oracle Integration is an industry-leading Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) with a comprehensive portfolio of business automation tools and technologies that help customers integrate and automate end-to-end business processes. Its key automation capabilities include:
Application Integration: to eliminate data silos and ensure data consistency across the enterprise.
Prebuilt Connectivity: lowering the technical barriers to connecting Oracle and third-party Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and on-premises applications, databases, internet technologies, and AI services.
Process Automation: to engage human workers for approvals and exception handling workflows.
Decision Service: to automate the enforcement of business policies and rules.
Business to Business (B2B): to automate business partner transactions and processes.
And now, RPA: to quickly automate manual repetitive tasks without needing deep technical knowledge.
This release makes RPA an integral part of Oracle Integration's complete business automation platform. Organizations can now unify automation initiatives across the enterprise and eliminate automation silos that often occur when RPA center of excellence and Application IT teams operate independently. RPA becomes a part of your automation strategy where business and technical teams can collaborate, making the best use of existing skillsets and unifying automation lifecycle management, observability, and governance.
"Ironically, I brought RPA into our company, but as an application development guy, I'm not a big fan of RPA. With Oracle Integration RPA, we can treat robots like the rest of our API-led integrations. That's something I can get behind because it fits within our architecture and governance model by making it a part of the design as opposed to a stop-gap solution."
- James Wall, Senior Director, Finance IT at Albertsons

Oracle Integration RPA
Oracle Integration RPA robots are built and managed within solution-focused Projects, in the same context and under the same governance as other automation technologies needed for the solution. And there's no need to install specialized desktop development studios. An intuitive web-based screen recorder tool simplifies how robots are created by capturing the steps a human normally takes within an application to accomplish the task at hand. These recordings generate low-code activities that are automatically configured with helpful design and maintenance conveniences, such as page validation logic, reusable UI targets, externalized secrets like application connection information, and screenshots for easy debugging. Robot developers can seamlessly transition between the recorder and low-code activities, providing a balance of ease of use and high level of control.

Once built, you can incorporate robots into integrations in the same way as connecting to any other application or technology. Developers can create hybrid orchestrations using APIs, robots, decision services, human-in-the-loop workflows, and AI services. Embedding robots into integrations future-proofs automation solutions by making the process of swapping robots for more robust and scalable APIs easy and low impact to downstream applications.
Deployment profiles make it easy to select the correct automation components and versions needed to deploy a complete solution or only what's required for an upgrade or patch. These deployment profiles streamline the process of promoting changes across development, test, and production environments.
Unified observability and advanced fleet-wide analytics across all automation components within the solution helps operations teams quickly identify and address issues.
"As one of Oracle's most strategic partners, we provided early input to Oracle Integration RPA to shape its development, with our clients' automation needs in mind. By orchestrating robots, APIs, human tasks, decision-making, and AI services, Oracle Integration RPA helps us create intelligent business automations for our clients through a unified, drag-and-drop experience."
