Process Automation in life sciences is no longer a question of if, it is a question of how. Among the many approaches, two terms often come up together: Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and workflow automation. Both are powerful, but they’re not the same. So what really sets them apart, and how do they work together to transform business operations?
In this shortcast, Pramod Sachdeva, Founder & Managing Director of Princeton Blue, unpacks the differences in a simple, practical way. He explains how RPA acts like a digital workforce: handling repetitive, rules-based tasks with speed and accuracy, while workflow automation orchestrates the bigger picture, ensuring seamless collaboration across people, systems, and departments.
Pramod also explores how these two approaches complement each other, creating what he calls “a match made in automation heaven.” From bots stepping in where workflows hit limits, to humans guiding bots through exceptions, this synergy is reshaping how organizations think about efficiency, compliance, and the future of work. As we embrace the future of work, RPA and workflow automation will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in transforming businesses.
If you’ve ever wondered where RPA ends and workflow automation begins, or how the two can work together in real-world life sciences solutions, this shortcast is a quick listen that delivers clarity and fresh perspective.
