RPA Solution Design

Today will know more detail about Solution Design. Writing a perfect solution design or solution architect for any RPA solution is the most critical piece into the RPA development process. A good solution designer will not just deliver a design but will also own a responsibility to hold views stronger across platforms when a change in views and decisions is needed in favor of a robust solution and in the benefit of the program.

There are four types of an automated solution that can be applied to a manual process. Let's assume there is a process of containing 1-9 steps.

1. Full Automation:
   The ideal scenario where all the manual steps can be automated and entire manual process can be replaced.



2. Partial Automation:
   The scenario where all the manual steps can not be automated. It may be possible to automate a sequence of contiguous steps within the original manual process. Often to enable the partial automation, an adjustment to the remaining manual steps is required. For example, Suppose in step M1, the user may need to prepare structured data for step A2 to consume. Similarly, in step M9 the user may need to become the recipient of a handoff from A8.



3. Fragmented Partial Automation :
   The scenario where all the manual steps can not be automated. It may be possible to automate more than one sequence of steps. Sometimes handoffs creates new manual efforts that's why it always requires weighing up the overall benefits from the automation.Low benefits may leads to rejecting the idea of automation.



4. Restructured Partial Automation :
   The scenario where all the manual steps can not be automated and to avoid Fragmented Partial Automation, it may also be possible to re-engineer, or re-order some of the manual steps to facilitate a continuous sequence of automation. For example, Suppose M1, M3 and M5 will be arranged into a manual sequence step to achieve A2, A4, A6, A7, A8, A9.
