What are the Challenges of Enterprise RPA Application Development?

There are certain challenges that tend to arise in the enterprise RPA application development process. Therefore while embarking on enterprise RPA (Robotic Process Automation) application development, you need to be ready for these challenges. 

And you need to have strategies for dealing with and overcoming the said challenges. In this article, we will be identifying the challenges, and exploring some options for overcoming them.

What are the challenges of enterprise RPA application development?

The enterprise RPA application development process we are making reference to is the one through which the software that powers the bots that perform various tasks in an enterprise is created. It is a process that typically entails conceptualizing the software, coding and testing.

One challenge that tends to arise in enterprise RPA application development is that of meeting the security requirements. There are two aspects to this challenge. 

The first aspect is that of identifying the security threats at play. And the second aspect is that of putting in place measures to address each and every one of those security threats.

The ultimate objective is to ensure that the RPA application doesn’t turn out to be the ‘loophole’ through which saboteurs can penetrate and attack the other computing systems in use within the enterprise.

Another challenge that tends to arise in enterprise RPA application development is that of managing time. Enterprise RPA applications have to be delivered in a timely manner. Unfortunately, some tasks end up taking much longer than was anticipated. 

Some tasks that were not anticipated (or were overlooked) may arise in the development process. The best way to deal with this challenge is by having a realistic schedule and adhering to it to the letter.

Yet another challenge that typically arises in enterprise RPA application development is that of ensuring that the application integrates well with other systems. This challenge can be particularly big when some of the systems the application needs to integrate with are based on very different software platforms. 

The way to overcome this challenge is by being innovative, and ensuring that the people tasked with RPA application development have proper skills.

Proper communication is another challenge that usually arises in enterprise RPA application development. Again, there are two aspects to this challenge. 

The first aspect is that of communicating with the clients in the enterprise for which the RPA application is being developed. And the second aspect is that of communicating with other members of the team that is developing the enterprise RPA application. 

This challenge is best overcome by developing proper communication channels and creating a working environment that fosters ‘free’ communication.
