Free up Your Workforce
Eliminating non-value adding activities needs to be considered as the Step 0 of an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) implementation plan. After that, next step is to build your ROM (Robotic Operating Model).
Getting started with RPA is easy. But if you want to deploy a Digital Workforce to deliver strategic benefits and collect the rewards of freeing up your workforce to achieve the results you want, ROM is essential.
ROM is Blue Prism’s industry leading methodology for successfully harvesting maximum business benefit through the scaled deployment of RPA. Applying ROM helps to rapidly deliver on-going business value through the identification and automation of manual processes within a structured and controlled, IT approved environment. It provides the foundations for developing the traditional Target Operating Model to embrace the digital workers and establish a seamless bi-directional workflow between the human and the digital workforce.
Seven foundations of ROM are key for the success of RPA.
First of all, digital workforce vision supports long-term intelligent automation success. It not only maximizes the value that RPA brings, but also by tying RPA to specific outcomes and strategic metrics ensures a trackable and sustainable RPA journey.
Organization is the second foundation. It helps organizations deliver benefit through RPA by creating the optimum structure, hence business integration is made possible. Alternative organizational models like divisional, center of excellence or outsourced managed service can be evaluated and customized according to your needs.
ROM’s people foundation is for building teams with appropriate roles and skills. People are trained in line with their role in the RPA organization and their skills are developed to run a successful digital workforce.
Governance and pipeline foundation is crucial for the RPA program to qualify and deliver projects. Processes are discovered, assessed and governed in a structured way. This approach shortens the time for automation and ensures sustainability.
Delivery methodology defines the optimal delivery approach and embed policies for fast and efficient RPA deployment in a repeatable way. Define-Design-Build Test-UAT and Deploy are its key phases.
ROM’s service model provides RPA Team with steps to effectively deploy, support and manage operational processes. It ensures the integration of digital workforce with human workforce.
Finally, technology foundation defines a highly scalable technical architecture and the related growth strategies to generate maximum return on investment.
With these seven foundations, scalable and sustainable RPA is guaranteed.
