UiPath Implementation

As you embark on the intelligent automation journey and finalize a strategy and a roadmap the next step is execution. The ability to execute a plan and times and to be able to deploy and manage change can be a daunting task. Without the right platfrom knowledge and technical expertise and resources, your UiPath implementation can go off-track and derail the whole automation strategy. Altumind’s UiPath specialists bring the platform expertise, implementation accelarators, methodology, best practices, the experience of multiple deployments across different departs across the enterprise and most importantly the prescriptive approach required for an intelligent automation project to succeed considering your organizations unique requirements, processes and technology footprint. 

Services Offerings

POCs and Pilot Projects

We recommend that before implementing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) on a large-scale in your business enterprise, you begin with a proof of concept (POC) that serves to demonstrate the value of RPA to executives and the workforce as well as the power of the UiPath platform. A successful POC should be followed by a UiPath based RPA pilot project that is “production ready”. The pilot helps in getting a handle on the investments needed as also in identifying the process/ technology/ workflow gaps that will need to be fixed and finetuned to be reusable and repeatable during larger and more complex roll-outs. It is also as a more extensive demonstrator of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) viability in the enterprise. 

Our goals in this phase are to: 

  • Build commitment to RPA through successful demonstration of its value to your organization 
  • Create an initial team to assist in automation by selecting the use case/process and support development of implementation model 
  • Validate UiPath as the preferred technology platform 
  • Develop automation framework including priorities, governance and deployment 

The deliverables will be: 

  • A POC followed by one process supported by Robotic Process Automation (RPA); and 
  • Documentation highlighting the high-level way forward.

RPA Infrastructure Setup

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) needs the right infrastructure configured to suit your workflows and employee locations; it must be flexible to accommodate hybrid working models and changes to workflows. It must be scalable, to accommodate higher volumes of work as the scope of RPA expands. Finally, given that systems and data will be accessed from devices/environments with varied levels of connectivity and security, the infrastructure must protect systems from unauthorized access.  

We help identify, size and document the infrastructure needed to support your identified processes. This includes designing the UiPath infrastructure and whether some components need to be on-premise or everything can be hosted on the cloud and installing, setting up and testing the licensed components. Including the Orchestrator, Robots, Automation Hub and AI infrastructure. Our team specializes in setting up robust development, test environment  and production environments and Dev Ops processes and systems for seamless migration between the environments and production launch. 

RPA Discovery, Design and Development

UiPath is a complete automation platform and the Altumind UiPath team of Certified Business Analysts, Solution Architects and Developers specialize in UiPath tools to assist during different stages of the project. 

Discovery: Our Robotic Process Automation (RPA) team has extensive experience in running requirements workshops with senior business users and stake holders from Finance, IT, HR, Sales and Marketing, Operations etc. We leverage assets and aids like Assessment Questionaires, Requirements Templates and UiPath tools to drive the workshops and finalize implementable processes. 

Design:  Based on analysis of the business processes identified for automation intelligence, our UiPath solution Architects help design a solution and architecture that is scalable and fits within your existing IT landscape and processes. A key requirement is knowledge of a broad range of Enterprise Applications and functionality and a design that is scalable for automations across all enterprise domains. 

Development: Our development Robotic Process Automation (RPA) team comprises of Certified UiPath Advance developers who can build Bots that are tailored to your specific needs and have experience in the various technical methods like Screen scraping, Desktop, web and GUI automation, Intelligent document recognition and data capture/extraction, Image processing and Analytics automation 

Our breadth and depth of expertise in software engineering complements our capabilities in the above areas and ensures that you get well-designed RPA solutions that are developed using the right tools and best practices. 

Enterpise Application Integrations

A vital design consideration for Enterprise RPA Solutions and Implementation is knowledge of packages applications or legacy systems that most clients have to support their Finance, Sales & Marketing, HR, IT, Supply Chain etc. departments. Knowledge and implementation experience of packages like Oracle, SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Netsuite, Workday, Coupa etc. is vital to the success of any Enterprise Automation initiative.  Often, RPA relies on data that resides in diverse applications and platforms. For Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to be smooth and deliver the expected benefits, the right data needs to flow between the relevant systems at the right time. This may require your RPA solutions to be integrated with your other applications. Some integration may be possible through APIs; integration may also be needed with technologies such as AI, NLP and document understanding. Altumind brings the skills and expertise required to prescribe and implement the best integration approach for each automation process. 

Testing and QA

While testing is part of our overall bouquet of RPA services, we also offer specific RPA testing and QA services. These services provide your enterprise the assurance that your RPA investments will indeed bear fruit and deliver the expected level of business outcomes, such as cost savings, improved process reliability and throughput and a boost to employee motivation. Our testing services cover all aspects of the RPA solution, including bot design, implementation, integration, security, output validation etc. If appropriate, our testing can also cover dynamic bot allocation, auto-scheduling, cross-flows etc. 

Altumind QA team has experience in both manual and automation tools including the UiPath test Suite and brings robust testing methodologies specifically designed for RPA initiatives 

Training and Change Management

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is powered by various technologies and can be implemented on various platforms, but its success in the context of your business enterprise ultimately depends on how well your employees adapt to the higher levels of smart automation. In turn, this depends on two things. A key requirement, therefore, is to train your staff to work in an RPA environment; this may need redefined processes and workflows. Some members of staff will need to be redeployed in new roles because automation renders their old jobs redundant. This needs a high degree of sensitivity, besides cross-training. Intelligent Automation will improve performance, so metrics may need to be redefined as well. In some cases, policies too will need to be amended. 

 

Altumind’s consultants possess deep and broad experience in assisting clients manage technology-enabled change at various scales- from point solutions that impact teams to those that impact the enterprise. This expertise and sensitivity are what we bring to bear in designing and delivering training and supporting stakeholders in managing change. Depending on the audience, our training can be delivered virtually or in class; we can also create content (e.g., videos and tutorials) to support self-paced learning for new employees
