How to deploy RPA successfully

Robotic process automation (RPA) uses rules-based processes to perform repetitive tasks more quickly, accurately and tirelessly than humans. RPA bots save time and enable people to focus on value-added work. It’s an emerging technology and learning from those who have tackled RPA before you is a key to your success. Based on real user reviews of Automation Anywhere RPA product, IT Central Station’s  PeerPaper explores how to deploy RPA successfully.

Users with hands-on experience explain that the key factors contributing to a successful RPA deployment are ease of use, ease of administration, versatility, customer support, a scalablability, and focus on TCO and ROI.

When a product is easy to use, nonspecialists can become involved in the creation of the bots. This lightens the workload of specialized developers, helping budgets and recruiting efforts.

Ease of administration is about avoiding excessive burdens that can drag an RPA project into a failure zone in favor of ease of implementation, ease of installation, security and role-based access controls (credentials security). An automation manager at a financial services firm with more than 1,000 employees said, “MetaBot reusable code makes development much quicker and role-based access gives us security control.”
