IRPA (The Institute for Robotic Process Automation), an independent professional association and knowledge forum for the robotic process automation (RPA) industry, today announced it has written a definitive eBook, "Introduction to Robotic Process Automation - A Primer" in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon University.
