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.

Accuracy

Accuracy and efficiency are two critical factors in RPA that determine the success of the automation process. In this section, we will discuss why accuracy and efficiency are important for RPA, as well as how they can be measured and used as metrics and KPIs.

Why is accuracy important for RPA?

Accuracy is the ability of the RPA system to perform tasks without making errors. Accuracy is essential because it ensures that the automated process is working correctly and the results are reliable. If the RPA system is not accurate, it can lead to serious consequences for the business, such as incorrect financial reporting, legal compliance issues, or customer dissatisfaction.

Inaccurate RPA systems can also lead to wasted time and resources. If an RPA system is making errors, it can take longer to complete a task, and humans may need to intervene to correct the mistakes. This defeats the purpose of RPA, which is to save time and reduce costs.
