Abstract

Selecting the right candidate for automation is often the core and first step of the automation process. This arena has some standard frameworks and best practices that must be followed. Usually, across various industries where RPA is being implemented, automation candidate selection is fraught with challenges and prone to failures, leading to the selectionof automation that isn’t a quick win. In many cases, this situation compounds intomany issues, including but not limited to ineffective resource management, lackluster client partnership, and strained budgets. This literature, through a series of impactful criteria, assesses and points out what factors, which are variables or elements that are believed to influence the outcome of the study, should be considered, in conjunction with any applicable assessments, during the discovery phase of any process, providing an effective, well rounded and all-encompassing approach in selecting the right candidate for automation.
