Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is redefining the sourcing marketplace and driving transformational change for both enterprise clients and service providers. Amidst this fundamental change, however, many underlying sourcing strategy considerations remain constant. For example, the basic question of, “What do we outsource and what do we keep in-house?” is critically relevant to effective deployment of RPA solutions. Failure to properly delineate what functions are best-suited to third-party oversight and which ones require direct control leads to a wide range of risks, including scheduling issues, inefficiency and loss of business value. This SIG Roundtable will examine how an RPA Center of Excellence can help buy-side enterprises develop an effective sourcing strategy around automation. Specific topics to be explored include: Characteristics of an RPA CoE, including organizational structure and roles and responsibilities Key sourcing questions related to RPA Risks of ineffective RPA sourcing Steps sourcing executives can take to develop and implement a CoE This interactive discussion will be led by Craig Nelson, an Alsbridge Managing Director.
