SUMMARY

Business leaders evaluating robotic process
automation (RPA) solutions should consider whether
what is on offer is truly enterprise grade or not.
Does the RPA solution offer scalable architecture,
comprehensive security, monitoring, and resiliency?
Piecemeal approaches to process automation
are not cost-efficient, offer limited scalability, and
reduce agility in responding to changes in business
requirements. It is important to develop and
implement a holistic approach to integrating RPA
with business process management suites (BPMS)
and IT process automation (ITPA) tools for end-to-
end process automation.
Ovum view
RPA has emerged as one of the priorities on
business-IT agendas and for good reason: it involves

the use of software robots (or bots) to automate
repetitive, mundane tasks that have traditionally
been done by people. RPA’s value proposition is
attractive for any organization that relies on human
labor for routine knowledge-process work, especially
repetitive, high-volume transactional functions.
But RPA as a technology discipline is evolving and
can do much more. Along with BPMS, ITPA tools,
and machine learning capabilities, it can enable
end-to-end process automation, not just automate
swivelchair processes.
Core capabilities to look for in an enterprise-grade
RPA solution include
• a modular and scalable architecture
• comprehensive security and governance
• support for recording in a variety of user-interface
(UI) environments
• centralized monitoring, visibility into bot
operations, and exception management
• bot resiliency. n
