Abstract:
The paper seeks to explain the concept of robotic process automation (RPA), the ways it impacts accounting, and suggest future research directions. A literature review of previous studies and state-of-the-art sources has been conducted to reveal research gaps. The results provide insights into the nature of the accounting transformation. The potential for automating accounting processes with RPA is high, and robots are predicted to replace accountants for a considerable part of their tasks. That could lead to the disappearance of entry-level accounting positions and, simultaneously, the creation of new accountant roles. Future accountants’ responsibilities will go beyond bookkeeping and financial reporting towards business advisory and leading the RPA transformation. The change entails the need to improve their soft skills, and technology and data skills. It calls for more studies on an effective method to integrate these skills into the accounting education model. Further research is required to examine the potential negative effects of employing robots. These relate to the unnecessary human-robot competition, unintended organisational structure changes, deskilling, and building expertise and knowledge management. Finally, to obtain a more comprehensive view of the impacts of RPA performance, more in-depth research is needed to account for all the financial and non-financial effects of RPA implementation.

Abstract:
Abstract Background and Purpose: Motivation of this research is to explore the current trend in automating the business processes through software robots (Robotic Process Automation – RPA) and its managing within enterprise environment where most of the processes are executed by human workforce. As the RPA technology expands the demand for its coordinating grows as well. The possible solution to this challenge is shown in case study research in form of implementing orchestration platform to a concrete business process of onboarding in HR department of a multinational company. The aim of this paper is to explore the phases and activities of the pilot project implementation of Robotic Service Orchestration (RSO) in combination with RPA technology and to assess the potential benefits. Design/Methodology/Approach: Case study research approach was selected to explore the research phenomena, which is the implementation of RSO platform in combination with RPA technology and assessing incoming benefits. The case is formed with 2 companies – (1) multinational company with ongoing effort of automating onboarding process, (2) technology and consulting company delivering the automation solution. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with respondents from two involved companies and by analysing internal documents. Results: The analysis of case provided in this paper revealed some key insights: (1) strategical position of RSO and tactical position of RPA towards the existing legacy systems, (2) need for increased focus on initial process modelling phase, (3) Application Programming Interface (API) integration is more viable solution for RPA, (4) the biggest benefit of RPA - its agility, (5) future potential of the RSO replacing the BPMS. Conclusions: First of all, there is a need of higher number of software robots adopted in a company before orchestration could pay off. On the other side, current Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) solutions don’t offer functionalities for managing human and software robots workforce altogether. RPA is expected to expand and without proper orchestration the effectivity will not grow constantly.

Abstract:
Robotic process automation (RPA) financial robot provides a modern and intelligent tool for financial management, and financial business processing. Currently, more than 32% of financial applications are implemented by RPA financial robot. As an alternative of human in operation and judgment, the financial robot faces some inevitable risks in actual application. So far, there is a severe lack of theoretical or practical research into the risks or operational guarantees of RPA financial robot. To bridge the gap, this paper proposes a financial crisis warning model for financial robot based on artificial neural network (ANN), drawing on the merits of artificial intelligence (AI) like self-learning, self-adaptation, and self-adjustment. Specifically, a hierarchical evaluation index system (EIS) and the corresponding warning strategy were prepared for the financial crisis of RPA financial robot. Next, the financial crisis of RPA financial robot was evaluated both statically and dynamically. Then, antecedent and subsequent networks were merged into a fuzzy neural network (FNN) for predicting financial crisis of RPA financial robot. The proposed model was proved effective and accurate through experiments.

Abstract:
AbstractThe paper introduces Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which is an emerging and cutting-edge conception of business processes automation, based on the notion of software robots or artificial intelligence workers. The paper is conceptual as it discusses the fundamentals behind this idea, synthesises the knowledge of technology, and presents it in a new context. It is based on the author's considerations and the literature review, which contributes to the insight into the basic understanding of RPA technology as well as systematises and clarifies RPA definitions, identifies market trends, formulates a set of predictions for further development of this technology, and highlights directions for future inquiry. Additionally, logical arguments are proposed for considering RPA as a technology that enables and advances digital transformation. Moreover, criteria are indicated for business processes suitable for RPA. Nowadays, the robotisation of business processes a s innovative technology is more often practically implemented than it is investigated by research. Published papers outline real examples of implemented cases of RPA technology in organisations that mainly represent service industries. These case studies allow identifying possible advantages and risks derived from RPA implementation. Recent studies also report benefits of the RPA application in terms of productivity, costs, service quality, and error reduction. Some authors propose the criteria for selecting processes suitable for automation and robotisation. This paper constitutes a foundation for new research aimed at filling knowledge gaps in this area. Responding to the call by van der Aalst, academic discourse on RPA must be initiated.

Abstract:
Purpose Robotic process automation (RPA) seeks to automate business processes, using software robots that interact with systems through their user interface, improving efficiency and reducing costs. However, some critical steps, such as identifying processes suitable for RPA automation, can have a tremendous impact in organizations if a wrong process is selected. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide an approach for analyzing RPA development in business organizations. Design/methodology/approach This research presents a cohesive literature review about RPA, in order to identify RPA main concepts, which should be reported and considered in all RPA case studies. A model connecting the main elicited RPA concepts is presented as well as its evaluation and applicability grounded of past RPA case study (CS) analysis, using design science research. Findings The results from this research show that most of the RPA main concepts gathered in the literature review are not reported in the selected RPA CSs. Originality/value As RPA is a recent topic, literature lacks a synthetization of RPA main topics. This research aims to fill the gap on that, by identifying and synthesize the main topics related to RPA and proposing a model that connects the main RPA concepts, which can be used by researchers as a schema for conducting and writing RPA case studies.

Abstract:
The study provides knowledge on the adoption of the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in 110 Polish service companies. As this research was the first of its kind in Poland, the objectives of the CAWI survey were to identify the technology features of the RPA technology and the related determinants and barriers influencing the adoption of the RPA as well as to determine correlations between them. Moreover, the statistical analyses involved considering whether there were differences in the evaluation of individual RPA technology features, mainly in terms of perceived usefulness, ease of use, security and functionality. The results of the study show that almost 60% of the respondents indicated that robotization tools allowed maintaining continuity of business processes during the pandemic. The highest rated were features related to usefulness of the RPA technology. Furthermore, the analysis pointed to the most frequently indicated barriers to technology implementation that were related to nonoptimized, nonstandardized and non-digitized processes with a large number of exceptions. The study contributes to scientific knowledge and has practical implications for process automation decision-makers concerned with the adoption of the Robotic Process Automation technology. The obtained results can help them to understand the potential drivers of and barriers to the adoption of software robots by enterprises and may be an important determinant for companies’ managers in the field of implementing such solutions.

Abstract:
Abstract Forced to provide results consistent results to shareholders the organizations turned to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in order to tackle the following typical challenges they face: (1) Cost reduction, (2) Quality increase and (3) Faster processes. RPA is now considered the next big thing for the Shared Services Centers (SSC) and Business Process Outsourced (BPO) around the world, and especially in Central and Eastern Europe. In SSCs and BPOs the activities with the highest potential for automation are in finance, supply chain and in human resource departments. This means that the problems these business are facing are mostly related to high data entry volumes, high error rates, significant rework, numerous manual processes, multiple not-integrated legacy systems and high turnover due to repetitive/low value added activities. One advantage of RPA is that it can be trained by the users to undertake structured repeatable, computer based tasks interacting in the same time with multiple systems while performing complex decisions based on algorithms. By doing this, the robot can identify the exceptions for manual processing, remove idle times and keep logs of actions performed. Another advantage is that the automated solutions can work 24/7, it can be implemented fast, work with the existing architecture, cut data entry costs by up to 70% and perform at 30% of the cost of a full time employee, thus providing a quick and tangible return to organizations. For Romania, a key destination for SSCs and BPOs, this technology will make them more competitive, but also will lead to a creation of a series of high-paid jobs while eliminating the low-input jobs. The paper will analyze also the most important vendor providers of RPA solutions on the market and will provide specific case studies from different industries, thus helping future leaders and organizations taking better decisions.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to approach the issue of taxation of robotic process automation (RPA) through an interpretive lens provided by both Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Both scholars have affected the understanding and attitudes of generations of economists, and their ideas have considerable influenced modern economic policy. It will be argued that Smith and Marx have much to offer to help contemporary economists understand the taxation of RPA, and their writings on machines, automation, and their impact on the human labor force will be discussed from their primary texts. Design/methodology/approach The paper interprets the works of Marx and Smith in relation to contemporary debates on automation, particularly, proposals to tax technological innovations to offset the social costs of automation’s displacement effects. Findings In the case of Adam Smith, there is not enough evidence to suggest that he would support a specific taxation of RPA; however, he very well might agree with a modest taxation of capital goods. Marx would very likely support a taxation in the short-run, however, would be inclined to caution that the ownership of robots should in the long run be transferred to society. Originality/value This paper uses primary texts from the discipline of history of economic thought to spark a discussion about compensating the externalities of technological innovation.

Abstract:
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) är en bred variation av tillvägagångssätt och tekniska lösningar som arbetar som ett stöd för att automatisera repetitiva arbetsuppgifter. År 2017 fastslogs en ny lagstiftning i Sverige som möjliggjorde för den offentliga sektorn att automatisera beslutstöd. Detta ledde i sin tur att allt fler svenska kommuner började implementera RPA. Av Sveriges totalt 290 kommuner klassas 259 stycken som mindre kommuner. För dessa mindre kommuner är det viktigt att balansera mellan att ha tillräckligt mycket bemanning för att både klara av ekonomin samt arbetsuppgifterna. Dessutom har flera kommuner i Sverige inte råd att anställa ny personal på grund av den rådande pandemin. Flertalet av dessa mindre kommuner har ännu ej påbörjat sitt arbete med RPA. Studien undersöker sex mindre svenska kommuner som har implementerat RPA med syfte för att ta reda på de effekter och förändringar som uppstått efter implementationen. Detta har gått till genom semistrukturerade intervjuer, för att få reda på hur kommunens implementering gått till, vilka processer och inom vilka områden kommunen har valt att automatisera samt vad kommunen har sett för effekter av detta. Tematisk analys användes sedan för att hitta mönster samt teman i intervjuerna. Resultatet visade på lyckade implementeringar där kommunerna har kommit olika långt i sitt arbete och nått olika nivåer av framgång men där samtliga genom RPA har frigjort tid för sin amedarbetare. De medverkande kommunerna i studien har ett flertal nya processer att automatisera i planeringsstadiet för det kommande året. Slutsatsen av denna studie visar på att effekterna av RPA ger goda resultat genom att frigöra tid och effektivisera arbetet för de mindre kommuner som har valt att lägga ner resurser på det. I brist på andra sätt att lösa sina nuvarande problem, är RPA i dagsläget en metod för att balansera ekonomi och de växande utmaningarna för en mindre kommun.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a wide variety of approaches and technical solutions that work as a support to automate repetitive tasks. In 2017, a new legislation was enacted in Sweden that made it possible for the public sector to automate decision support. This in turn led to more and more Swedish municipalities starting to implement RPA. Of Sweden's total 290 municipalities, 259 of them are classified as smaller municipalities. For these smaller municipalities, it is important to balance between having enough staff to manage both the finances and the tasks. In addition, several municipalities in Sweden cannot afford to hire new staff due to the current pandemic. Most of these smaller municipalities have not yet begun theirwork with RPA. The study examines six smaller Swedish municipalities that have implemented RPA with theaim of finding out the effects and changes that have arisen after their implementation. This has been done through semi-structured interviews to find out how their implementation went, what processes and in which areas they have chosen to automate and what they have seen for effects of this. Thematic analysis was then used to find patterns and themes in the interviews to present a common overall result with rich descriptions. This result showed successful implementations where the municipalities have come far different in their work and reached different levels of success, but where all through RPA have freed up time for their employees. These six municipalities also have a few processes to automate in the planning stage for the coming year.T he conclusion of this study shows that RPA gives good results for the smaller municipalities that have chosen to invest resources in it. In the absence of other ways to solve the current problems, RPA is a good method for balancing finance and the growing challenges for a smallermunicipality.

Abstract:
Företag strävar idag alltmer efter att automatisera och effektivisera sina verksamhetsprocesser. Till följd av den digitala transformationen av vårt samhälle skapas ständigt nya möjligheter och tekniska innovationer för att stödja automatiseringen av processer genom att göra saker på helt nytt sätt genom att använda sig av modern informations- och datorteknik. Denna studie undersöker en ny teknisk innovation i form av mjukvarutekniken RPA (robotstyrd processautomation) samt dess förmåga att automatisera arbetsuppgifter som vanligtvis utförs manuellt. Studien syftar till att belysa de utmaningar som riskerar att uppstå samt vad som bör beaktas vid utvecklandet av RPA inom en verksamhetsprocess vilket redovisas i form av rekommendationer. Studiens metod utgår från ett explorativt angreppssätt, en kvalitativ datainsamling samt har en abduktiv ansats då ett fenomen både undersöks och analyseras med hjälp av teori relaterat till RPA och automatiserandet av verksamhetsprocesser. De utmaningar och rekommendationer som tagits fram baseras på resultat från mötestillfällen i form av semistrukturerade workshops baserade på utvecklingsprocessens fyra steg samt på utvecklingsgruppens egna upplevelser kombinerat med den teori som använts som underlag för analys. Studiens viktigaste resultat är att processen noga bör kartläggas och optimeras innan utvecklandet inleds samt att en ständig uppföljning med slutanvändaren genomförs i syfte för att upptäcka eventuella förändringar av krav. Någon inom utvecklingsgruppen bör, utöver ett tekniskt perspektiv, även inneha ett processperspektiv samt grundläggande kunskap kring utvecklingen av en verksamhet.
In today’s society companies increasingly strive to automate and streamline their business processes. As a result of the digital transformation of our society, new opportunities and technological innovations are constantly being created with the purpose of supporting the automation of processes by doing things in a completely new way and by utilizing modern information and computer technology. This study examines the new technological innovation in the form of a software technology called RPA (robotic process automation) and its ability to automate tasks that are usually performed manually. The study aims to highlight the challenges that are likely to arise and what the developer should consider when developing RPA within an operational process, which is presented in the form of recommendations. The method of the study is based on an exploratory approach, a qualitative data collection and an abductive approach, since a phenomenon is examined and analyzed using theory related to RPA and the automation of business processes. The challenges and recommendations that have been developed are based on results from a number of meeting sessions in the form of semi-structured workshops based on the four stages of the development process and on the development group's own experiences combined with the theory used as a basis for an analysis. The most important result of the study is that the process should be carefully mapped out and optimized before the development begins and that a continuous follow-up with the end user should be carried out in order to detect any changes in requirements. Someone within the development group should, in addition to a technical perspective, also possess a perspective related to processes and basic knowledge of business development in general.

Abstract:
Digitalisering och automatisering har alltmer kopplats till argument om förändringar i arbetslivet. I den här uppsatsen undersöks digitalisering och automatisering i praktiken genom att fokusera på HR-praktiker och organisering av automatisering i HR-avdelningar i större organisationer i Sverige. Trots att det finns flera rapporter, som hävdar att automatiseringsteknologierkommer att förändra HR, finns det få empiriska studier om denna förändring. Syftet med studien är därförattfå en djupare förståelse för digitalisering och automatisering på HR-avdelningar i större organisationer utifrån ett Human Resource Development perspektiv.Genom att använda ett organiseringsperspektiv och situerat perspektiv på lärande, samt teorier om gränser och gränsöverskridande roller, har studien fokuserat på lärande-och förändringsprocesser vid automatisering. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och har använt en tvärsnittsdesign,där sju semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med HR-praktiker från sex olika organisationer. Resultatet visade att det finns kontextuella skillnader mellan HR-avdelningarna gällande hur de har organiserat arbetet med automatisering, vilket har skapat olika förutsättningar för förändring och lärande. En central del i resultatet är behovet av en gränsöverskridande roll mellan HR-och IT-avdelningen. Studien visade även att automatisering inom HR inte innebar en förändring i arbete och kompetens för all HR-personal, då det endast var viss HR-personal vars arbete hade påverkats av automatisering.
Digitalization and automation has increasingly been connected to arguments about changes in working life. This study address digitalization and automation in practice by focusing on HR-practitioners and the organizing of automation in HR units at larger organizations in Sweden. Despite several reportsarguing thatautomation technologies will changeHuman Resources,there arefew empirical studies about this transformation. Therefore the aim of the study isto get a deeper understanding of digitalization and automationin HR-units at larger organizations from a Human Resource Development perspective. By using a organizing and situated learning perspective and theories about boundaries and boundary roles, the study have focused on learning and change processes with automation. The study hasa qualitative approach and used a cross-sectional design. Seven semi-structured interviews have been conducted with HR-practitioners from six different organizations. The findings showed that there are contextual differences between the HR departments regarding how they have organized for automation, which have created different conditionsfor change and learning. A key finding is the need for a boundary role between the HR and IT department. The study also showsthat automation does not imply a change in work and competence for all HR-personnel, as there were only a few persons whichjob had been affected by automation.

Abstract:
This thesis aimed to study how Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can be successfully utilised by a large international company. By adopting a single case-study research approach the author have examined a large international company's utilisation of RPA; what value it associates with the technology, together with bottlenecks and risks that may prevent the company from receiving such value. The case-intrinsic focus rendered a comprehensive set of findings in relation to the research target, which was then compared and contrasted to a thoroughly established theoretical background. The study can report a relative high degree of correspondence with previous research, although important data points either find little bearing or none at all in said research. Most notably, the case-company viewed value associated with RPA utilisation to go beyond immediate yields and thus identified incentives from indirect value. Furthermore, obstacles like inefficient communication and coordination networks, together with lack of time and low-quality development, were identified as significant findings with little base in previous research. In conclusion the study claim to have provided a deeper understanding of key features and concepts necessary to consider for successful RPA utilisation.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur Robotic Process Automation (RPA) kan framgångsrikt användas av ett stort internationellt bolag. Genom att anamma en fallstudie (single-case study) som forskningsansats har författaren undersökt ett stort internationellt bolags användning av RPA; vad för värde bolaget associerar med teknologin, samt vilka flaskhalsar och risker som kan förhindra bolaget att uppnå detta värde. Med ett intrinsikalt fokus på det enskilda fallet renderades ett omfattande set av forskningsresultat i relation till forskningssyftet. Studien kan rapportera en relativt hög korrespondensgrad gentemot tidigare forskning, även om signifikanta datapunkter antingen finner lite uppbackning eller ingen alls i tidigare forskning. Mest anmärkningsvärt, i relation till värde, är att bolaget anser värdet med RPA-användning sträcka sig förbi omedelbara effekter. Således finner bolaget incitament från indirekt värde. Även flaskhalsar och risker så som ineffektiv kommunikation och koordination, samt tidsbrist och lågkvalitativ RPA-utveckling, identifierades som signifikanta forskningsresultat med lite uppbackning i tidigare forskning. Sammanfattningsvist menar studien på att ha bidragit till en djupare förståelse av nödvändiga koncept att överväga för en framgångsrik användning av RPA.

Abstract:
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) är en teknik för att automatisera repetitiva arbetsuppgifter inom verksamheter med syfte att effektivisera arbetet. Tidigare forskning belyser dock att så mycket som 30–50% av alla RPA-projekt misslyckas. Forskning visar även att det finns utmaningar kopplade till införandet. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur RPA-leverantörer arbetar för att genomföra en RPA-implementering samt belysa de utmaningar som kan uppkomma under införandet av RPA utifrån kunders respektive leverantörers perspektiv. Studiens frågeställningar besvaras genom att genomföra en litteraturstudie samt kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med RPA-leverantörer och personer från verksamheter som infört RPA. Utifrån leverantörernas svar skapades en processmodell över arbetsprocessen av införandet. Processmodellen innefattar fem steg: Kartläggning, Proof of Concept, Utveckling, Test och Implementering. Vidare visar resultatet att utmaningarna ligger i att skapa en förståelse för RPA, identifiera lämpliga verksamhetsprocesser, oro hos de anställda samt att roboten saknar kognitiva färdigheter. Slutligen visar studien att fokus bör läggas på förarbete och att kommunikation är en nyckelfaktor för att lyckas.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is a technology for automating repetitive tasks within businesses with the aim of streamlining work. Previous research, however, show that 30–50% of all RPA projects fail. Research also shows that there are challenges associated with it’s implementation. The aim of this study is to examine how RPA suppliers work to implement RPA and highlight the challenges that may arise during the implementation of RPA from the perspective of customers and suppliers. The research questions are answered by conducting a literature study and qualitative semi-structured interviews with RPA suppliers and people from companies that have implemented RPA. Based on the suppliers' answers, a process model of the working procedure was created. The process model includes five steps: Mapping, Proof of Concept, Development, Testing, and Implementation. Furthermore, the results show that the challenges lie in creating an understanding of RPA, identifying appropriate business processes, concerns among employees and that the robot lacks cognitive skills. Finally, the study shows that focus should be placed on preparatory work and that communication is a key factor for success.

Abstract:
The objective of this thesis paper is to answer the question: is robotic process automation efficient/beneficial and should accountants consider its implementation? For accountants, robotic process automation is a software that “perform[s] tasks such as processing sales and financial transactions, managing data, communicating between different systems, and access management, as well as monitoring and reporting” (Seasongood, 2016). In order to determine whether or not RPA should be implemented, a survey was found that had over 500 responses from varying companies currently using RPA. A statistical analysis will be performed in order to determine if any statistical significances exist between questions (both the benefits and challenges of RPA), by countries, by employee sizes, and by business functions. Based on the results, a conclusion will be provided on RPA’s implementation into the accounting field.

Abstract:
This research studies the three market-leading RPA-tools, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and UiPath, in order to fill the lack of literature regarding methods for evaluating and comparing RPA-tools. Design science research was performed by designing and creating artefacts in the form of process implementations and an evaluative model. A typical process representing a common area of use was implemented using each of the three RPA-tools, in order to create an evaluative model. Official documentation, along with the three implementations, were studied. Evaluative questions specific to RPA-tool evaluation were created based on a quality model for product quality found in the ISO/IEC 25010 standard. Characteristics dependant on organisational context were not included in the evaluation, in order to create an evaluative model which is not dependant on any specific business environment. The results of the research provide knowledge of (1) how RPA-tools can be implemented and (2) the differences that exist between the three market-leading RPA tools. The research also contributes in the form of a method for investigating and evaluating the RPA-tools. When creating the evaluative model, some of the criteria found in the ISO/IEC 25010 quality model were concluded to be of low relevance and, therefore, not included in the model. By analysing and evaluating the created evaluative model, using a theoretical concept of digital resources and their evaluation, the validity of the evaluative model was reinforced. From an evaluative perspective, this research emphasises the need to appropriate and change existing evaluative methods in order to successfully evaluate the most relevant characteristics of RPA-tools.
Denna forskning studerar de tre marknadsledande RPA-verktygen, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism och UiPath, för att fylla bristen på litteratur om metoder för utvärdering och jämförelse av RPA-verktyg. Design science research genomfördes genom att utforma och skapa artefakter i form av processimplementeringar och en utvärderingsmodell. En typisk process som representerar ett vanligt användningsområde implementerades med användning av vart och ett av de tre RPA-verktygen för att skapa en utvärderingsmodell. Officiell dokumentation, tillsammans med de tre implementeringarna, studerades. Utvärder-ingsfrågor specifika för RPA-verktygsutvärdering skapades baserat på en kvalitetsmodell för produktkvalitet som finns i ISO/IEC 25010-standarden. Egenskaper som är beroende av organisatoriskt sammanhang ingick inte i utvärderingen för att skapa en utvärderingsmodell som inte är beroende av någon specifik affärsmiljö. Resultaten av forskningen ger kunskap om (1) hur RPA-verktyg kan implementeras och (2) skillnaderna som finns mellan de tre marknadsledande RPA-verktygen. Forskningen bidrar också i form av en metod för att undersöka och utvärdera RPA-verktygen. Vid skapandet av utvärderingsmodellen drogs slutsatsen att några av kriterierna i kvalitetsmodellen i ISO/IEC 25010 var av låg relevans och de är därför inte inkluderade i den resulterande modellen. Genom att analysera och utvärdera den skapade utvärderingsmodellen, med hjälp av ett teoretiskt koncept av digitala resurser och deras utvärdering, förstärktes utvärderingsmodellens validitet. Ur ett utvärderingsperspektiv betonar denna forskning behovet av att anpassa och ändra befintliga utvärderingsmetoder för att framgångsrikt utvärdera de mest relevanta egenskaperna hos RPA-verktyg.

Abstract:
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an automation technology that has become increasingly common in recent years, as demands have increased on the use of new technologies to compete in the global economy. RPA means that a software robot is placed on top of existing systems where it performs tasks in a similar way as a human being previously did. No changes need to be made to the underlying systems, which means that RPA is rather quick and easy to implement at a relatively low cost. There are many advantages to the usage of RPA, but not all processes are suitable for the implementation of robots. The purpose of the study has been to help businesses select the parts of the organization that can be automated by identifying criteria which means that RPA can be applied to a process. In order to fulfill the purpose of the study, information has been collected through a literature study and semi-structured interviews with consultants working in the RPA area. The result shows that there are several criteria that increase the suitability of an RPA implementation on a process, but also that the importance of different criteria varies from situation to situation. The study has also identified criteria that must be met in order to be able to implement robots at all. Since the appearance of different companies and processes varies greatly, the criteria should be seen as a guideline where each situation is examined individually to identify what is important right there. Initially, a detailed analysis needs to be done of a candidate process in order to determine the degree of suitability and whether RPA is a good solution in that case.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) är en automatiseringsteknik som blivit allt vanligare de senaste åren. Kraven har ökat på användandet av nya teknologier för att kunna konkurrera i den globala ekonomin. RPA innebär att en mjukvarurobot placeras ovanpå befintliga system där den utför uppgifter på ett likadant sätt som en människa tidigare gjorde. Inga ändringar behöver göras på de underliggande systemen vilket medför att RPA är förhållandevis snabbt och enkelt att införa med relativt låg kostnad. Det finns många fördelar med användningen av RPA, men alla processer är inte lämpliga att implementera robotar på. Studiens syfte har varit att hjälpa verksamheter att välja ut de delar i organisationen som kan automatiseras genom att identifiera kriterier som medför att RPA går att använda på en process. För att uppfylla studiens syfte har information samlats in via en litteraturöversikt och semistrukturerade intervjuer med konsulter som arbetar inom RPA-området. Resultatet visar att det finns ett flertal kriterier som ökar lämplighetsgraden för införandet av RPA på en process, men också att vikten av olika kriterier varierar från situation till situation. Studien har även identifierat kriterier som måste uppfyllas för att det överhuvudtaget ska gå att implementera robotar. Eftersom utseendet på olika företag och processer varierar kraftigt så bör kriterierna ses som en riktlinje där varje situation utreds individuellt för att identifiera vad som är viktigt just där. Initialt behöver en utförlig analys göras av en kandidatprocess för att kunna fastställa lämplighetsgraden och om RPA är en bra lösning i det fallet.

Abstract:
A key component for project success, particularly for complex and risky projects, is adequate knowledge management. The results of our feasibility study reveal the need for a dedicated analytical instance to better support virtual knowledge processes. We suggest combining robotic process automation (RPA) with a knowledge-focused graph database (GDB). Therefore, we present a prototypic approach for integrating this concept into project management routines.
