SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (SAP IRPA) has proven to be one of the most exciting developments in Business Process Management (BPM) in recent history. However, this game-changing technology is not at all new and RPA has been around for quite a long time.

For instance, inbound call centers have been using Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) for years. These systems employ robots to guide customers, accept key tone or voice-based responses, and pass on instructions to the underlying application to complete a transaction.
