Robotic Process Automation

(RPA)
What is Robotic Process Automation?

• Robotics Process Automation(RPA) allows organizations to automate


task just like a human being was doing them across application and
systems.
• RPA can be used to automate workflow, infrastructure, back office
process which are labor intensive. These software bots can interact
with an in-house application, website, user portal, etc.

RPA Implementation Methodology
• Planning/Analysis
• Development/Bot Development
• Testing
• Support & Maintenance
Best Practices of RPA Implementation

• One should consider business impact before opting for RPA process
• Define and focus on the desired ROI
• Focus on targeting larger groups and automating large, impactful
processes
• Combine attended and unattended RPA
• Poor design, change management can wreak havoc
• Don't forget the impact on people
General Use of RPA
Application of RPA
Robotic Process Automation tools

Selection of RPA Tool should be based on following 4 parameters:

• Data: Easy of reading and writing business data into multiple systems
• Type of Tasks mainly performed: Ease of configuring rules-based or
knowledge-based processes.
• Interoperability: Tools should work across multiple applications
• AI: Built-in AI support to mimic human users
• Popular Robotic Automation Tools: Blue prism, Automation
AnyWhere, UiPath etc..
Benefits of RPA
• Large numbers of the process can easily have automated.
• Cost are reduced significantly as the RPA takes care of repetitive task and saves
precious time and resources.
• Programming skills are not needed to configure a software robot. Thus, any
non-technical staff can set up a bot or even record their steps to automate the process.
• Robotic process automation support and allows all regular compliance process, with
error-free auditing.
• The robotic software can rapidly model and deploy the automation process.
• The defects are tracked for each test case story and the sprint.
• Effective, seamless Build & Release Management
• Real time visibility into bug/defect discovery
• There is no human business which means there is no need for time for the requirement
of training.
Disadvantages of RPA

• The bot is limited to the speed of the application


• Even small changes made in the automation application will need the
robots to be reconfigured.
