How long does an automation implementation take from start to finish?

A straightforward RPA process takes 4 to 8 weeks from discovery to deployment. A complex solution with AI, unstructured data, and multiple system integrations takes 3 to 6 months.

‍

Roborana follows three phases. Strategy (2 to 4 weeks): document current processes, measure baselines, design the target solution, and get stakeholder buy-in. Execution (2 to 12 weeks): build the automation, test against real data, fix exceptions, and integrate with your systems. Adoption (2 to 6 weeks minimum): roll out to users, train staff, monitor performance, and refine based on real-world results.

‍

What accelerates timelines: clear process ownership, stable processes, fast access to systems and sample data, and stakeholder availability for testing. What slows things down: integrating with many backend systems, unstructured data requiring AI training, governance delays, and processes that change mid-project.

‍

We aim for quick proof of value. Within the first two weeks of execution, we typically show the automation working on real data. This builds confidence and allows parallel work on harder parts. Roborana commits to realistic timelines based on honest assessment, not optimistic promises.
