Automation is one of the most influential factors in today’s evolving workplaces, Robotic Process Automation, is one of the revolutionary technologies capable of digitally transforming business. This technology automates repetitive, rule-based processes, reducing the dependency of manual labor, and increasing business accuracy and efficiency. Before implementing the RPA software, the company should know which is the best robotic process that suits their automation requirements

Why choosing the right process is important?

Just because we can automate a process using , Robotic Process Automation does not mean we should. After all, automating the wrong process is oftentimes worse than no automation at all. Perhaps the hardest aspect of RPA is choosing which process to automate. Perhaps the easiest choice would be to start with simple processes first. Doing this would mean faster results with minimum initial effort. However, the results will most likely have minimal impact on your company’s operations in terms of solving time or cost constraints, choosing the right process is key to implementing RPA. A general rule is to choose a process that is rule-based and repetitive. Data-driven processes such as HR Services, Finance and IT Services owing to their repetitive nature make them the perfect processes to automate.

What are the factors for assessing a process?

During a robotic process automation assessment, the CoE team tries to identify those processes that can benefit the most from automation. Along with recognizing the number of resources needed for each process, they should also pay close attention to the number of use cases, average handling time, the process frequency and whether or not the process is repetitive or manual, Along with finding the best process candidates for RPA, organization should also look at the constraints of your current system and whether there are any kind of risks associated with automation. When performed properly, a robotic process automation assessment is the first step towards unlocking the true potential of your business.

What are the factors for assessing a process?

In this period of Robotic Process Automation, AI, and Machine Learning, there is little room for errors. After determining which RPA process best fits your field, the next question you need to ask is what processes are best suited for automation and have a greater ROI depending upon certain factors that are Workforce & volume of work, Definable roles, Complexity of the process, Alternative to outsourcing, Differences in utilization, Which applications are harder or easier to automate?, Does the automation involve lots of data grids?, Do any or all of the RPA involved applications run in a virtual environment?, are some of the factors for assessing a RPA process.

Complexity of Implementing an RPA Process

There are various complexity levels of integration that depend on the complexity of the business processes that an organization has been dealing with, complexity levels are derived from various factors like input methods being used in a process, application types, how much free text is processed, the environments the business processes run in, and the total number of applications involved, Once you have clear idea of the complexity level involved in the business process you will have a high level idea of the cost involved in implementing an RPA strategy.
