This guide helps you understand the crucial requisites of selecting RPA for your business automation process.

1. RPA Buyer’s Guide
Factors to consider when selecting a RPA tool

2. •It is one of the main characteristics of a software.
•It should be simple to understand by your employees as RPA solution is for accelerating the internal
processes of your business.
•Some enhanced features may seem attractive but take into consideration the increase of cost in gaining
learning support from vendor.
•Choose an RPA platform that provides you with an automation tool that will result in more efficient
administration outputs and easy to use for the employees.
1. Ease of Use

3. • RPA solution should provide a clear, user-friendly and workable interface that has easy functionality
and provides a visual interface that allows users to easily perform activities without any major learning
process.
• Programmers can also easily access such bots so that you are not limited by the time and availability
of your in-house developers or external IT development resources. This serves to reduce your
operational costs.
2. Interface Design

4. • Vendors usually promise to provide RPA with the ability to effectively adapt to the operational
demands of a business. However, many not be equipped enough.
• This is where scalability comes into the picture.
• You should not be limited by a tool that does not allow you to scale up/down your operations.
• Any good RPA solution should allow you to choose a software bot that is perfectly adaptable and
execute to your assessments.
• Any bot which can work on-demand, with multiple executions and can be adjusted to your operating
systems, browsers or devices can scale up your production in a healthy way.
3. Scalability

5. • When you select automation you are expecting hundreds of bots to work in your favor, giving
results you expected. You don't want to be saddled with software bots that are unreliable and create
undue disruptions
• Choose an RPA solution that has in-built applications and specific features designed to monitor
deficiencies and at the same time accelerate the internal capabilities in the system.
4. Reliability

6. • Find a tool for yourself that can diversify its operations according to requirements.
• Most tools specialize in certain areas of operation only. You need to consider the possibility of
adding features to the existing tool when needed.
• Each tool has different strengths and weaknesses, so check the potential usage of the tool before
selecting it.
5. Technological Integrations

7. • There are chances that you may not get software that will fulfill all your automation requirements, you
need to work with the vendor in designing a tool that fits your requirements.
• Work building flexibility in the tool by creating the requisite customizations. Preferably opt for solutions
that support many operating systems rather than a single one.
• This will help you in reducing the cost for additional customizations at a later stage.
• Without flexibility, no RPA solution will be able to withstand the test of time.
6. Flexibility

8. • Vendor’s ability to support your needs in times of distress should be a priority.
• You can minimize delays in deployment and strengthen maintenance procedures with strong support.
• Ideally, the product should come with a broad choice of training options, including computer-based
training (e.g. webinars), classroom and online documentation (e.g. tutorials).
• While some vendors do provide dedicated support teams and contractual support SLA’s, most provide
only the standard tool-related support.
• You may have to build a fully trained team for the tool to help with your RPA implementation.
• In such cases, it proves helpful to have a training cost estimate form the vendor.
