Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
JifJaff have a unique approach to RPA with a 4-Stage Deliverable Strategy - RPA Exploration, RPA Implementation, RPA Service & RPA Support:

1. RPA Exploration: As part of the exploration process, we explore in detail the clients team structure, staffing, targets, workflows, problem areas, positives, applications in scope, dependencies, error handling and process optimisation. Understanding this enables us to assess suitability for automation.

2. RPA Implementation: The JifJaff “Agile” project delivery approach ensures alignment across Business SME’s, Management & Project Team members which is crucial for successful RPA delivery. The Bot “baseline” build is based on an agreed key stroke mapping document.

3. RPA Service: Hosted RPA facility whereby the Robots will be excuted and automate processes as agreed.

4. RPA Support (Post Go-live): JifJaff recognise the value in building long term client relationships and therefore provide support contracts with all RPA implementations. JifJaff are unique whereby we offer L2-L3 RPA support package to our clients to ensure any RPA issues or requests are taken care of by our internal in-house RPA development team.
