Description

RPA solution architects play an important role in the automation journey and initiatives within the organization. However, the implementation process is quite complex and daunting at times. RPA Solution Architect’s Handbook is a playbook for solution architects looking to build well-designed and scalable RPA solutions. You’ll begin by understanding the different roles, responsibilities, and interactions between cross-functional teams. Then, you’ll learn about the pillars of a good design: stability, maintainability, scalability, and resilience, helping you develop a process design document, solution design document, SIT/UAT scripts, and wireframes. You’ll also learn how to design reusable components for faster, cheaper, and better RPA implementation, and design and develop best practices for module decoupling, handling garbage collection, and exception handling. At the end of the book, you’ll explore the concepts of privacy, security, reporting automated processes, analytics, and taking preventive action to keep the bots healthy. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to undertake a complete RPA process from design to implementation efficiently.

I highly recommend this book to both: business stakeholders seeking a comprehensive understanding of the technology to accelerate digital transformation, and to RPA professionals aiming to excel in this dynamic field. The book serves as a crucial guide to the multifaceted role of a Solution Architect (SA) in automation programs. It emphasizes their role as a 'bar raiser,' guiding teams with design principles and strategic choices instead of shortcuts.As an RPA Developer, I found the book to be an eye-opener. It underscores the importance of diverse roles in a team structure, as detailed in Chapter 1, ranging from Project Manager and Solution Architect to Business Analyst, Senior Developer, Developer, and Quality Analyst / Tester — recognizing the collective effort as crucial for automation success and timely delivery, ensuring robust, scalable, and maintainable automated processes. This aspect is often overlooked in the rush for quick deliveries and the challenges of limited resources.The book is clear, easy to follow, well-structured, and a valuable reference of practical experiences.

If you work with robotic process automation, this book is a must-read. As the main person responsible for introducing this technology in my large organization, I didn't have much guidance and had to draw knowledge from other areas of software development, management, IT, and more. This book does that for you. It excels at three things: exposing you to industry best practices, providing a higher-level view of the RPA endeavor beyond just the technical, and giving you a way to measure your organization's success. With the aid of this book, we have introduced several changes to our organization that have increased efficacy.

Ryan Ridlen Jul 13, 2023

This review is in progress- I haven't finished the book yet. I'll update after I finish the second half.It is definitely written from the POV of a consultant, but still has information applicable to non-consultants. A lot of jargon is bolded and explained which will make it easy for people who don't have consulting or enterprise experience to pick up.Part 1 really more beneficial for citizen developers (business users doing development), new developers, and junior developers who haven't worked at an enterprise yet. They also include information about setting up RPA programs (roles, opportunity identification, sizing, etc.).Part 2 continues the trend adding information pertinent to more experienced developers (security considerations like PII and credentials, attended v unattended, solution design, standards, requirement traceability matrixes, etc.).
