the failure occurred
• Manually fix and test the
workflow before putting it
back into production
• More time spent
monitoring automations to
ensure failure was
corrected
• Slower ROI on failing
automations
• Developers focused on
maintenance and not
building new automations
• Reduced ability to scale
RPA throughout the
