Scaling

Independence of resources
The architecture of Microsoft Azure cloud services maintains logical separation of client data. Internal rules and measures separate data processing, such as inserting, modifying, deleting, and transferring data, according to the contracted purposes.

In essence your existing CRM and or Case Management Systems are the matter of record and their performance should not be adversely affected by the automation. However as Robotic processes are 20 times faster than a human, some load balancing might be required to run processes when users are less likely to be on the system to ensure maximum performance.
