In recent years, there has been a significant shift toward automation, as robotic process automation (RPA) has enormous potential for streamlining business processes and operations. RPA is unquestionably a cost-cutting and time-saving solution.
Whether it’s a large corporation or a small business, they’re all aiming to automate their processes in a way that complements manual strategizing while keeping processes running smoothly.
With RPA pilots all over the place, RPA Post Implementation Review and Scaling is just as important as it was before the project began. There is also a significant gap in RPA service capabilities that exists after implementation, including performance and scalability.

Post-implementation review and analysis are critical activities in any project for corrective action in the completed project and planning preventive actions for future projects based on lessons learned; RPA deployment is no exception. RPA Post Implementation Review (PIR) is a process that assesses, analyzes, and evaluates whether the defined goals established at the start of automation were met. To get the most out of your RPA project, it is always best to conduct a PIR. 

Here are some of the major goals of the Post Implementation Review:
– Determine the level of success from automation

-Assess whether the project met its objectives and manage stakeholder expectations.

– Evaluate the efficacy of all elements in the working solution in order to identify potential areas for improvement and optimize the benefits delivered.

– Assess potential business risks after implementation and develop controls.

– Examine the project’s management and identify lessons learned for future projects.

Check out our strategies for closing the gap and addressing the major challenges of effectively scaling your RPA process or Bots post-implementation.

Rethink Your Strategy

To increase RPA on a large scale, enterprises must redesign their approach, including operations, processes, tooling, and infrastructure. To plan and develop an RPA project, we must first learn to analyze business processes and design automation around them;
Determine which processes can be automated;
Gain hands-on experience with the various tools on the market;
Begin implementing any automation designs you may have created.
Put your automation to the test;

Start with the end goal in mind

According to Stephen Covey’s book ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,’ the second habit (Begin with the End in Mind) is how you can achieve what you want. It is critical to comprehend the outcome so that you can devote your time and energy to the proper endeavor. Beginning with the end goal in mind can help you in a variety of ways because it keeps your eyes on the prize.

Have a clear vision, direction, and destination, as well as beginning to consider the operating model strategy that will support the bots.

Leverage Process Mining and Optimization

Process mining is a process management technique that analyzes business processes using event logs. If Process mining tools are used, specialized data-mining algorithms can be applied to event log datasets to identify trends, patterns, and details contained in an information system’s event logs.

Process mining is predicated on the existence of an event log, with each event referring to a case, an activity, and a point in time. An event log can be thought of as a collection of cases, and a case can be thought of as a trace/sequence of events.

Include Security Policies

Corporate security policies ensure that an enterprise has a baseline for performing security-related duties based on its information security requirements. The policies can be extended beyond the boundaries of the IT department to include other departments such as Human Resources, Finance, and Legal. Policies must be updated to reflect the new complexities.

The Rule of Constant Change

When it comes to bots, constant evolution is required. Because of governance roadblocks, many RPA investments fail to progress beyond test and development.

In this case, most businesses would create a center of excellence within their organization to manage RPA work, policies, governance, and tool/vendor selection.

Or, when a third party is involved, such as tool vendors, RPA consultants, or business process outsourcing providers, the business landscape can be completely altered. If the business owner wants to improve productivity within their organization, they must make different decisions regarding not only external business-related decisions but also internal ones, in this case, RPA.

Have a business continuity plan

Digitization allows enterprises to speed up their workflows, save money, and increase productivity, and RPA is undoubtedly a solution for reducing time and responding to incidents, as well as minimizing the risk of being vulnerable to incoming attacks.

However, digital transformation and hyper-convergence are also gateways to risks, vulnerabilities, attacks, and failure, and it is a risk to rely solely on one source of infrastructure.

A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that outlines how a company will continue to operate in the event of an unplanned service disruption.

Enterprises are becoming increasingly aware of their vulnerability to cyber threats that can permanently destroy their IT systems. Some businesses create mirrored environments to which they can switch in the event of a system failure.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, RPA enables enterprises to automate a wide range of tasks in the same way that humans do, allowing businesses to save money, time, and human resources on repetitive tasks. At the same time, the Robot’s average productivity is 100 without any errors, and they can handle multiple tasks very well.

RPA can be used in a variety of industries, including healthcare (patient registration and billing), human resources (new employee onboarding, payroll, and hiring shortlisted candidates), travel and logistics (ticket booking, passenger details, and accounting), and so on.
RPA allows for the easy automation of large numbers of processes, freeing up time for other human-needed tasks, and because it is simple to use, non-technical staff can set up a bot and record their steps to automate the process.

If your business is being transformed digitally, you must think right, think fast, be flexible, and be open to change. THINK RPA, we can help you do the dirty work.
