Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Our Onboarding offering includes a Readiness phase, a series of technical and business workshops to discover automation drivers, recommend and advise on technology & environment (e.g. Cloud vs on-premise) and promote knowledge and awareness for key stakeholders and employees. We advise on communication strategies to avoid ‘automation anxiety.’

Robiquity offer an Automation Roadmap Assessment, comprising of process discovery, analysis and prioritisation based on specific business drivers and deep expertise in automation feasibility and complexity. This becomes a tailored business case and automation roadmap that focuses on specific tactical solutions first, followed by more strategic solutions aligning to your strategy.

We also deliver a range of training, classroom or remote, including development bootcamps (UiPath, Blue Prism, Microsoft), automation analysis, Centre of Excellence enablement and support services. These can be out-of-the-box or bespoke depending on that strategic aims of your internal CoE.

End-of-contract data extraction
Robiquity do not own or host your data. We provide the delivery service to automate processes containing your data. Although we do offer managed services and support, all of our services allow us to disconnect from your environment and leave your data with you.

If you wish to receive an export of your customer data from us including ticket service history, you can raise a request with us and we will export the data for you..

If you have specific data retention requirements for your own data or the data we hold for you, you can provide this to us and we will use this to manage your information.
End-of-contract process
Service disconnection is performed when a managed service contract ends. All documentation (including solution design, test plans and operational handbooks) and automation code is the client’s intellectual property.

The end-of-contract process involves disconnecting of management services and deletion of management devices and connections.

Any data relating to your environment can be exported and given to you for you to ingest. The format of that data will depend on the format in which it currently exists and the options available to us to present it back to you.

It is recommended that a service transition to the new team is provided. Resourcing this from Robiquity

- may result in an additional service charge, or
- may be covered in your contract, or
- may be serviced using the available resource from the currently contracted staff if hours are available

WCAG 2.1 A
Description of service interface
Depending on the software used to automate, processes are designed, managed and ran through their own applications. Typically the development environment provides the functionality to produce bespoke automation solutions to identified processes. Once finished, completed processes ready to be deployed are managed and orchestrated through the management interface. Further configuration of the RPA network such as resource pools and work queues can be configured through the application.

Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
Automation is entirely customisable – it uses the user interface or APIs to connect to applications and websites, client specific or otherwise. Automation can create or recreate a business process that is bespoke to your applications, environments and business requirements.
Our Readiness Phase is a series of business and technical workshops that enables us to understand your automation value drivers and technology architecture, so we can create a customised technology and environment recommendation. We are tech-agnostic, and therefore believe in the best technology for the solution.
During our Automation Roadmap Assessment, we host workshops with a variety of business leaders, managers and process SMEs to identify, analyse and prioritise processes for automation based on specific business value drivers and KPIs. These automations are entirely customisable, and can cater for industry best practise as well as bespoke business processes.

Scaling

Independence of resources
The service is built on 'virtual workers'. The workers are naturally scalable, meaning they can be added and removed in reaction to any change in demand for particular processes. This, in turn, ensures that peaks and troughs in demand do not impact client operation teams.

Database servers are able to scale vertically to match the resource demand. Virtual workers can run on any number of servers (or virtual machines) allowing them to scale horizontally to demand.

Analytics

Service usage metrics
Yes
Metrics types
Key automation metrics tracked and reported on are time saved, cost reduction and/or avoidance, revenue generation, return on investment and end-to-end process time. Estimated figures are reported initially in the Automation Roadmap Assessment, and actuals are continuously monitored throughout the automation lifetime.
Further reported metrics are dependent on business KPIs, for example call average handling time, conversion rates, CSAT scores, website clicks etc. Automation reports and real-time dashboards can be tailored dependent on the value drivers of each automation.
Pre-built reports and dashboards showcase key figures such as digital worker utilisation, active instances, success rates & exception reporting.

Information security policies and processes
As well as aligning to OWASP when developing in-house solutions, any client security incidents which impact any information stored and processed are reported, analysed and documented. Each incident involves reactive action taken to ensure the incident can be successfully closed and the vulnerability removed. Every Robiquity employee as well as contractors are made aware of what constitutes an incident and are familiar with the reporting procedures.

Every Robiquity employee has the responsibility to report any security incidents or suspicion thereof to the Security Officer and ensure that the incident is sufficiently recorded. The Incident Management team is responsible to provide a rapid response and resume normal operation as soon as safely possible. The security incident management process is overseen by the Board.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All changes are agreed with client using our ITIL aligned framework. Each change includes an impact assessment and testing carried out before implementation. Changes are applied to in scope services. Changes are managed through the service desk ticket management tool.

For new work, we follow a prioritisation process that allows you to implement new changes dependent on their priority within your business and the expected time to implement.

All change configuration information is captured as part of the change process to create a living knowledgebase of data for your solution.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Vulnerabilities can be identified through proactive monitoring of RPA audit logs. Any identified are then sent to the client for a decision on what remediation action should be taken. Upcoming changes to software provided by vendors proactively assessed and forwarded to the client to allow time to prepare for any security fixes which need to be implemented.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Vulnerabilities are identified through proactive monitoring of RPA audit logs. Any identified are then sent to the client for a decision on what remediation action should be taken.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
The goal of Incident Management is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimise the adverse effect on business operations.

Incidents are raised through the online support portal, or email to the Service Desk. The Service Desk is the central coordination point for receipt and management of all Incidents requiring Robiquity’s support. Each Incident is logged as a separate Incident record and given a unique reference identifier within the Service Desk system.
