We have already discussed “Hot Trends In Robotic Process Automation” that businesses must look forward to in 2023. It is equally vital that business leaders understand certain things about robotic process automation (RPA) before they decide on its implementation. While we already went through the “Common Reasons for RPA Failure“, they are not enough for successful implementation. Therefore, it is vital to consider these points.

Things to Know About RPA in 2023

1. RPA Is Still A New Concept

As a business leader, if you know about RPA and its application in different industries, don’t expect your employees to know the same. RPA is still a new technology, and people may not know it. When building a business case for it, the leader must ensure that the employees know about RPA’s opportunities and limitations. Remember, while the term RPA itself has been around for a long time, RPA as a technology is a recent concept.

2. RPA Will Grow

Don’t wait any longer than you already have to implement RPA. Several marketing reports find that the RPA market is set to grow in the coming years and will not slow down. In other words, RPA is the future. If you continue to delay its implementation, you will quickly find yourself playing catch-up with your competitors.

3. RPA Adoption

Most leaders believe the myth that RPA has a limited scope. It is not the case, as you can apply RPA in every business function. The only requirement is that the task is repetitive and rules-based. If your process involves a human to take decisions based on their experience and consultation with others, then RPA can complete all the previous steps leading to the decision. However, it cannot take the decision itself. Despite it, there is a never-ending scope for RPA’s implementation across an organisation.

4. RPA Requires Constant Investment

RPA is not something that you can implement once and forget about it. Instead, RPA is a technological solution. As technologies change and improve, you must invest in your RPA solution accordingly. Otherwise, your outdated solution will stop creating value for your business. Secondly, outdated technologies mean there are vulnerabilities which cybercriminals can exploit to gain access to your system. They can steal sensitive data, damaging your business from a reputational and financial perspective. Check out our “Best Security Practices for RPA Implementation” post to ensure your RPA solution is secure.

5. RPA Does Not Require A Computer Science Background

What we are trying to say is that when hiring for RPA, don’t set a computer science or IT background as mandatory. Why? RPA is a diverse field. The only way you can achieve the maximum out of RPA is by having a diverse team. So, if someone from a finance or management background is applying for an RPA job, do consider them. Their experience and knowledge can be critical in designing the right solution.

6. Focus On Employees

Lastly, leaders must pay attention to their employees. If you treat employees as a commodity, they will adopt a similar approach towards the organisation. They will do the bare minimum and continuously look for new opportunities. Remember that with the ever-increasing importance of RPA, your employees will find a better opportunity instantly. When your RPA team has a high voluntary turnover rate, there are few chances of success in that field. On top of it, you must spend considerable resources on hiring and training employees.
