Steps in effective RPA implementation

Steps in effective RPA implementation

There are several steps that usually need to be performed in order to implement first bot in your company:

1. Identify tasks that are susceptible to automation: rule based, high volume, prone to human errors
2. Estimate cost of tasks identified (this will help to understand benefits of bots)
3. Ensure management has a buy in and expect resistance from the people that currently perform selected tasks
4. Understand how relevant task fit in the process
5. Review process (maybe you don’t need to automate task but simply improve or change the process)
6. Choose RPA provider (could also happen as step 1, assuming provider will help to perform next steps)
7. Develop and test bot. Pilots often help to have a buy in from the team but nowadays less and less important as RPA becomes more common
8. Maintain the bot
9. Have a bots exit strategy. Sometimes bots become obsolete if process changes and it is more expensive to update bot rather than re-involve people
