URN: TECDT50941B
Business Sectors (Suites): IT(Solution Development)
Developed by: ODAG
Approved on:
2024
Overview
This standard is about architecting Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) architecture encompasses the creation and implementation of automation solutions using software robots, or "bots," to streamline repetitive and rule-based tasks traditionally handled by human workers. RPA architects oversee the identification of suitable processes for automation, selection of appropriate RPA technologies, and ensure seamless deployment and integration to enhance business processes.
This standard is for those who need to architect Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions as part of their duties.
