6 REASONS

6 DIFFERENCES

why the current RPA approach is flawed

of the Softomotive People1st Approach for RPA



HIGH UPFRONT COSTS

Requires an up-front investment in a full Enterprise RPA platform, including infrastructure costs.



LOW UPFRONT COSTS

It is quicker and easier to start with a desktop automation tool (RDA) which does not require a server or any other significant costs.



INCREASED RISK

The higher capex investment increases project risk. This is in turn becomes more of a career risk, especially as RPA projects increasingly fail to deliver the required business outcomes.



LOWER RISK

start small, learn quickly and scale seamlessly only once the best process automations are fully tested and proven.



MISSED RPA OPPORTUNITIES

Process discovery remains an issue. Also, because the bar needs to be set higher to offset increased costs of investment, there is the opportunity cost of excluding smaller but otherwise worthwhile RPA projects.



REALIZE THE FULL POTENTIONAL OF RPA

To maximize business outcomes, you need to be able to go beyond the 'low hanging' fruit or easy to identify processes to automate.



LIMITED INNOVATION

A strategic approach is required but too much complexity stifles innovation. Sole focus on a "top down" approach managed by a remote centralized team is a limiting factor.



SUPERCHARGE INNOVATION

A bottom-up or "pull" strategy accelerates process discovery and automation.



INNATE INFLEXIBILITY

Agile practices are common in IT but not so in process automation. This is out of sync with real world business operations which are dynamic.



INCREASE AGILITY

End users can automate, what, when they want, collaboratively.



LOW PEOPLE ENGAGEMENT

If people are, or feel excluded until they are directly affected, resistance is likely. This will make change management harder and more expensive.



HIGH PEOPLE ENGAGEMENT

Everyone is a citizen developer, equipped with the tools, the mandate and the incentivisation to automate.
