Hi,
We are a large multi-national corporate financial services provider. Governance and Business Continuity are a key part of our design and implementations.
We operate in 10+ geographies with various degrees of market maturity and capabilities in a "federated model" type.
I would like to understand the key "generic" but universal Governance and Business Continuity requirements that HelpSystems AutoMate, UiPath, Automation Anywhere (AA), Blue Prism, and Microsoft Power Automate would require if implemented in a decentralised manner.
What would be the minimum requirement?
@reviewer1356150 @Nilesh Pawar @reviewer1390509 @Alex Yuan @Hayaa Kayasseh you've all recently written reviews for one of these products. Do you have any insight to share with @reviewer1373997 about governance and business continuity requirements for these products?
For any RPA tool it required have a generic /universal governance model where
1. sponsor or Head of RPA implementation
2. Business analysts
3.Architects(solution/technical)
4.Developers ( Full stack - Build, Test and SIT)
5.Scrum master or Sprints head or Project manager
6. QA ( Test automation) - optional
Above generic governance model/structure roles for handling any kind of RPA process.
One proven way to implement centralized automation management is via a CoE. The best practices of Robotic Process Automation states that the use of bots doesn’t increase negative risks for the organization in the development of reusable solutions. The responsibilities of a Centre of Excellence will depend on the exact governance model used. The most common activities include the following:
Business Continuity Requirements:
To have backup or disaster recovery machines for the critical RPA processes with load balancing using central orchestration in different clusters.
For any of the RPA there is orchestration tool which handles all the initiation and processing from one location have it maintained well from risks and disasters with load balancing.
This will helps in business continuity.
