Purdue IT’s automation initiative represents a comprehensive approach to digital transformation, integrating Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Automation, and Agentic Automation to drive efficiency, innovation, and user-centered outcomes across the university.
This technology enables the creation, deployment, and monitoring of software agents that interact with digital systems in ways that mirror and extend human capabilities. These agents are designed to handle high-volume, repetitive tasks with precision and consistency, while advanced variants leverage AI to interpret unstructured data, make decisions, and adapt to dynamic workflows.
Purdue IT collaborates with academic and administrative units to identify, design, and scale automation solutions that align with institutional goals. All university departments are eligible to participate, provided they adhere to established technology and branding standards.
This expanded automation framework reflects Purdue’s strategic commitment to scalable, human-centered digital transformation, enabling staff and faculty to focus on higher-value work that advances education, research, and service.
