RPA Solution Architect's Handbook

By: Sachin Sahgal

Overview of this book

RPA solution architects play an important role in the automation journey and initiatives within the organization. However, the implementation process is quite complex and daunting at times. RPA Solution Architect’s Handbook is a playbook for solution architects looking to build well-designed and scalable RPA solutions. You’ll begin by understanding the different roles, responsibilities, and interactions between cross-functional teams. Then, you’ll learn about the pillars of a good design: stability, maintainability, scalability, and resilience, helping you develop a process design document, solution design document, SIT/UAT scripts, and wireframes. You’ll also learn how to design reusable components for faster, cheaper, and better RPA implementation, and design and develop best practices for module decoupling, handling garbage collection, and exception handling. At the end of the book, you’ll explore the concepts of privacy, security, reporting automated processes, analytics, and taking preventive action to keep the bots healthy. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to undertake a complete RPA process from design to implementation efficiently.

Summary

So, to recap, in this chapter, we saw what hyperautomation is and how it is different from simple RPA. What are the other technologies that, combined, help businesses harness the power of hyperautomation for their decision-making and advanced automation needs? Hyperautomation does not have any boundaries and the challenges aren’t such that they can’t be overcome. Challenges such as cost and skilled labor are always present for any niche solution. But the benefits that the industry can reap from this technology are tremendous.

In the next chapter, we will be discussing a very common but famous concept of development in RPA/IA/hyperautomation, which is reusable components.
