URN: TECDT50943
Business Sectors (Suites): IT(Solution Development)
Developed by: ODAG
Approved: 2024

Overview

This standard is about maintaining Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions.

Maintaining the operation of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) solutions is necessary to uphold their effectiveness and realise expected benefits. This involves deploying monitoring tools and alerts, promptly addressing events, conducting audits, mitigating bottlenecks, scrutinising security measures, and instituting backup and recovery protocols.

This standard is for those who need to maintain Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions as part of their duties.
