Robotic process automation (RPA) is suitable to automate work processes that are manually-intensive, repetitive and vulnerable to high human errors.
These processes include:
High in volume and repetitive : Huge transaction volume, routine processes running periodically (daily or weekly)
Rule-Based : Standardized processes, decision making based on predictive rules
Mature and stable : Documented, stable, and with predictive rules
Low exception : Low variation scenarios within the activities that would caused to different handling of procedures
High ROI Potential : Choose processes which will provide significant automation savings, usually 2 FTEs work-effort
Not subject to methodology changes : Does not process in systems that are thanks to undergo fundamental changes to interface or configuration in the short term
Readable Inputs: Processes that can triggered by standard and readable electronic inputs like MS Word, Excel, XML, PPT, PDFs, and if working with scanned images, OCR add-on would be needed
