Myths & Hype about RPA
• RPA means robots will automate processes
• RPA is useful only in industries that rely heavily on software
• RPA will replace humans in most frontline jobs
• Only large enterprises can afford to deploy RPA
• RPA adoption should be owned and driven by the organization’s IT department
• RPA is an AI virtual assistant specialized to do a narrow set of tasks
• To use the RPA software, one needs to have basic programming skills
• RPA software is fully automated and does not require human supervision

Why & When RPA Needed?
Rate and work
proportion non
relation
NC’s (Non
Compliances)
overlooking and
cost comparison
deficit
Lack of LHA (Loop
Hole Analysis)
Realistic but not
ISO compliances
Software/process
Audit

Benefits of RPA?
• Automation save 60+% on item processing time
• Automation run 24 x 7 x 365
• Process digitization benefit
• Scalable, Auditable & Accurate

Assumptions:
• For a 10 servers server farm; 3 hours per day spent on server
tuning
• Saved around 3 x 365 = 1095 hours
• Saved 136 Man-days
• Saved about 0.5 FTE

Encompasses knowledge
based / cognitive and
autonomic tools
Technologymaturity
Maturity Scope of effectiveness Limitations
Macro of scripted automation Very high Specific tasks
Typically used for tactical deployments. Can be difficult to
maintain over long periods of time
IT automation High
Number of areas including software application
life cycle and service provisioning
Less effective in application production and run book
environments
BPM Very high
Large scale deployments involving enterprise-
level transformation
Can be tactical or strategic with the ability to deal with scale.
Can become too complex or costly
Plug-in architecture tools High
Situations requiring deployment centrally and at
scale to many desktops
Not suitable for situations where non-invasive integration of
automation tools are needed
UI-based / robotic Medium & evolving
Repetitive transactional administrative and
rules-based tasks
Often deployed tactically or in combination with BPM tools
Artificial intelligence Low & evolving
Number of areas, particularly document or
content-heavy processes or IT Service
Management (ITSM)
Robustness and resilience to change needs to be demonstrated
in large scale operations; AI technologies have to learn from
experience to find ways of handling unexpected scenarios
Sophistication of solution

** BOT Farm – View of all bots with user, IP address, application path and schedule credentials

Type of BOTS
Front-office Automation Back-office Automation
Description
• Also called as “Attended” / “Assisted” / “Desktop” automation
• Involves mashups or reskinning applications for real-time
• Also called as “Virtual Workforce”
• Use techniques like workflow prioritization and
scheduling to process large volumes of work securely
Execution of work
• Partial automation, involving human to intervene
• Runs on each associate's desktop
• Straight-thru processing with no human intervention
• Runs on servers and not on associate’s desktop
Decision Making • Non-judgmental, rule-based, assisted by human where needed • Judgmental, rule-based, minimal to human intervention
Benefits
• Increases efficiency of existing workers
• Helps to consolidate information and provide consistent
customer experience
